"Let the challenge....................... BEGIN!"
Grim Reaper men disappearing children in the Scottish Highlands? A man in leather trousers allowing it to happen? Forest-based homoeroticism? It can only be RAVEN!
We had so much to say on this long-awaited topic - it's a miracle that we got it down to a very respectable 75 minutes. Please enjoy listening as much as we enjoyed recording (and researching, and rewatching, and rewatching, and rewatching...)
Tangents/digressions/wormholes: the quiet melancholy of The Proclaimers' music, football post-match interviews, and the partition of India and Pakistan (sort of).Support the show Get bonus content on Patreon

Come Outside

"Hello Auntie Mabel. Would you like a brick?"
Come Outside was about a woman who could build walls of brick and fly a spotty plane. If you are five years old, living in a pre-Google age, and need to know how water is filtered, how pencils are made, or how a sewage plant works, this is the show for you. There's also a cute dog.
This week, we explore the deeply beloved childhood classic, Come Outside!
Also featuring a lively discussion about dead mice, Elsie's 18th birthday party, and 1970s Richard Briars sitcoms.Support the show Get bonus content on Patreon

Bamzooki

The show that's not quite Robot Wars! Bamzooki was the BBC's 2004 attempt at breaking into the """diGiTaL sPaCE"""
A long and complicated production history, a cameo from Hewlett Packard, and a ridiculously large budget resting on the computing skills of nine-year-olds. Hilarity ensues!
In this re-watch, we laugh cruelly at the comedy acting skills of children; the weird and wonderful naming conventions of the creatures known as "zooks"; and the class and gravitas brought to the show by the incomparable Jake Humphrey.
WARNING: Contains scenes of Barney Harwood doing his best "Ed Norton in Fight Club".Support the show Get bonus content on Patreon
