Nigel Planer- "The Tossem Hat?"
Explicit content warning
02/07/25 • 45 min
Hello, and regardless as to whether you like it or not, welcome to Tony Slattery’s Rambling Club!
Come and join in as President Slattery is joined by a very special guest.
Yes, it’s the one and only Nigel Planer and he’s here to investigate the faeriefolk at the bottom of the Presidential garden!
Still it won’t be long before Tony drags him, and us, on an exuberant ramble around three special destinations chosen entirely at random with the use of his enchanted bingo machine. As ever, the omniscient voice of Sir Stephen Fry is on hand to chart a path of logic through the quagmire of cobblers.
First stop is destination number 146: naturalism and related systems. It would help if our merry ramblers could agree on what ‘naturalism’ is.
After that surely destination 385 will provide some points of interest. So long as the President’s lurid thoughts surrounding a much loved icon of children’s television and literature don't get the better of him!
Finally we end up at destination 098: Prohibited works, forgeries and hoaxes. We can be sure that the star of The Young Ones knows a thing or two about being censored!
After that it must surely be time to collapse next to the fire back in the Presidential shed and take stock of what’s just happened. If nothing else it’s a chance to find if faeries lurk at the bottom of your garden.
Tony Slattery’s Rambling Club is a free-associating conversation, sometimes involving very special gusts. It drops every Friday on every podcasting outlet known to man. We’d love it if you came along for the walk. If nothing else, it’ll help you get your steps in!

"You Can't Glue Jelly To Jelly"
Hello, and welcome, whether you like it or not, to Tony Slattery’s Rambling Club! Come and join in as President Tony takes us gently by the extremities and leads us on a gleeful ramble around two special destinations chosen entirely at random with the use of his enchanted bingo machine. As ever, the omniscient voice of Sir Stephen Fry is on hand to chart a path of logic through the rough terrain of cobblers.
First stop is destination number 693: specific materials and purposes. Well that could mean anything really/
More familiar ground awaits with number 872: collections of Latin prose or poetry. Or is it "pose"? It really doesn't matter as the chaps only manage to stick to the subject for about a minute and half.
After that you'll want to head back to the Presidential shed to come to terms with the stuff and nonsense you've been exposed to. If nothing else, it’s an opportunity to write a strong letter of complaint about your time being wasted.

Richard Vranch- "How Dare You Recall That Monstrosity"
Hello and welcome to Tony Slattery’s Rambling Club!
This week Tony is rather excited as he has a very special friend visiting. It’s none other than Richard Vranch, Tony’s friend and double act partner all the way back to their Footlights days!
Of course, there is still the small matter of a ramble to be had and (once anyone can get a word in) it’s time to call upon the omniscient voice of Sir Stephen Fry who is on hand, as always, to direct our quartet in the vaguest of ways.
First stop is destination number 395: manners and etiquette. Surely the presenter of P’s & Q’s will know a thing or two about this. But what’s all this about Richard and Tony performing for royalty?
Next up and number 127 awaits: unconsciousness and subconsciousness. This one will take some thought. Or not...
Finally we find ourselves at destination 782: vocal music. Familiar turf for Tony and Richard and a glimpse behind the doors of the Whose Line studio circa 1989!
After all that, and this is quite a ramble, you’ll be needing to head back to the presidential shed to take stock and decompress. If nothing else, it’s an alternative to reality. And that’s no bad thing...
