163 • Big Beacon: Chapters 30 to 33 + Wrap Up May 06, 2025

Show notes

We enter our mind palaces as we conclude our Big Beacon coverage, debating whether it's Alan's 'Parklife' or his 'Be Here Now'. Also covered: Bread's theme tune, Seldom's patriotism and Clarkson's farm. Plus, Lynn gets the full name treatment, we play 'Sequels in Sequence' and someone we won't name gets a Paddy Mc-kicking.

161 • Big Beacon: Chapters 22 to 25 Apr 22, 2025

Show notes

Jennie-bashing and speculation on Coogan's PR policy loom large this week. Speaking from personal experience, we also cover scuppered book deals, the faff involved in entering Broadcasting House, and our own 'faecal Dresden'. And that's before we lose it over A Turkey's Journey. And then Greg Dyke's texts. And then Alan's DIY skills. Could listening make this the Greatest Day of your life?

160 • Big Beacon: Chapters 17 to 21 Apr 15, 2025

Show notes

Sh*thousery meets lighthousery this week as we talk passive aggressive emails, Weinstein's eggs, and do deep dives on scampi fries. We ask 'How well has Partridge aged?' and 'Is Alan's "cancer' the worst thing he's ever done?'. We hope the episode makes you weak at the knees (and not leak at the wees).

159 • Big Beacon: Chapters 13 to 16 Apr 08, 2025

Show notes

ITV gets kicked, Chiles gets evaluated and 'chav' gets revisited this week. We also tread carefully through Alan's big sex scene and peek into Lynn's therapy sessions, before Keys and Gray enter the fray. Will it be chips?

Alan's 50 grand rebrand, Lynn's bigotry and Adam's egg matrix all come under scrutiny this week. Also discussed: Bash Street Kids, bunny ears, and Benfield: Attorney at Law. We're SURE that the way we MITCHUM the LYNX between Scissored Isle and Big Beacon will NIVEA be bested.
