Coronation Street with Dave Holmes Nov 02, 2026

Show notes

You're not me bloody mum! I'm YOUR bloody mum! Is the kind of thing they're probably saying on Coronation Street. We're joined by Corrie lover Dave Holmes, the host of the podcast International Waters, to discuss the longest-running soap opera, the terrible things that happen to its characters, and why it's probably better than What The Kids Are Watching These Days. Plus, the return of Conker News.

UNLOCKED! Finest 26: Ghostwatch with Brendan James Oct 26, 2026

Show notes

We wanted a week off, so for the main feed this week, we're unlocking one of our favorite Finest episodes! If you like this one, consider joining our Patreon to get access to 75 more of these beauties (and a brand new episode this Thursday with David Sims!).

What if the BBC made you think ghosts was real and Michael Bloody Parkinson got killed by 'em? This is the question posed and answered by Ghostwatch, the cult classic one-off TV special from 1992 that fooled and frightened millions of Brits. We're joined by our friend Brendan James of Blowback to discuss horror, ghosts, and Ghostwatch. It's a masterpiece of telly, which you simply must watch, if you're not a baby. I'm grown up and brave and I'm barely even scared of Pipes anymore.

The Wicker Man with Max Read Oct 19, 2026

Show notes

Arrrroughuhuhhghhhh that sucks! Stop it that sucks! Is what I'd say if I was stuck in the Wicker Man, probably through some mistaken identity, because I would've just left those guys alone with their fruit if I'm honest. We're joined by Max Read, author of Read Max, to discuss the classic British horror film and Christopher Lee's excellent big hair. Plus, the gurning champnionships.

Neopets with Alec Robbins Oct 12, 2026

Show notes

Neoneo, neo! Neo! Is the kind of thing Neopets would say if they were Pokemon, but of course they are not as good as Pokemon. They are just PNGs on a webpage. And there are millions of them rotting away in locked accounts. We're joined by return guest Alec Robbins, author of CRIMEHOT and narrative director at Squanch Games, to discuss the early 2000s browser game sensation. Back when you literally only had Internet Explorer and you were thankful for it. (And yes, it is British.) Plus, where did Keep Calm and Carry On come from?

Boohbah with Jamie Loftus Oct 05, 2026

Show notes

Bing Bong Boohbah! Is not what any of the Boohbahs would say because that's not one of their names but I don't honestly remember what their names are. Bibbo? Something like that. We're joined by Jamie Loftus, host of the Bechdel Cast and author of the book Raw Dog and the forthcoming novel The Tower, plus like forty billion other things, to discuss the Teletubbies' weird cousin Boohbah. They are atoms of light and also furry aliens, or something. Plus, what the HELL is received pronunciation?

Keeping Up Appearances with Demi Lardner Sep 28, 2026

Show notes

NOT ON MY FINE CHINA!!! Is what I'd say if you were putting your bloody nasty chips and minging gravy on my beautiful inherited dishware, and also I was Hyacinth Bucket. Which I'm not, because, as you know, I'm NOT posh. We're joined by our Third Bird and the creator and host of So You Wanna Win A Penis Pump, Demi Lardner, to discuss a classic and iconic British sitcom. Plus, a two-for-one Thought of the Week, featuring an update on Caesar the Gorilla.

Geordie Shore with Will Weldon Sep 21, 2026

Show notes

Whey aye man, I'm feelin' proper mortal! Is a phrase probably used 10000 times throughout the 26 seasons of Geordie Shore. We're joined by podcaster Will Weldon, host of I Hate Bill Maher, to discuss a truly nasty reality show where Geordies get drunk and, occasionally, suck off a dildo. Plus, that time a guy broke into Buckingham Palace (twice).

Mumsnet with Mike Hale Sep 14, 2026

Show notes

"Hello and welcome to A Picture Of A Nice Rabbit Dot Com!" Is what should be occupying the sever space currently held by Mumsnet. We're joined by the host of Your Kickstarter Sucks that we haven't had on the show yet, Mike "dogboner" Hale, to discuss Mumsnet, the home of British transphobia, general mass psychosis, and questions about how a husband should clean his penis. Plus, whatever happened to Noel Edmonds...'s lobsters?

Oasis with Patrick Willems Sep 07, 2026

Show notes

TODAY is gonna be the day that they're gonna... cover Oasis? Is what you're saying reading this right now, on your phone probably. We're joined by filmmaker and YouTube essayist Patrick Willems to discuss the mad Manc lads, their crazy relationship, and whether Wonderwall is good despite being played every hour in every pub on Earth. Plus, why is Britain's symbol a lion, if there are no lions to be found in England? (This is not political commentary but it sounds cool if you imagine it is)

Monty Python with Kendra Wells Aug 31, 2026

Show notes

And now for something completely CRAZY!! Is what I would have said in the room with the Python lads and they would've looked at me like, who let this idiot in here? We're joined by our friend Kendra Wells, author of the book Real Hero Shit 2: Harder Than It Looks (BUY IT), to discuss the complicated legacy of Monty Python. Random Humor: All Their Fault? Plus, a poll on Britain's favorite ice cream flavo(u)r.
