This week we're joined by the creative whirlwind Madison Coby: actor, graphic designer and illustrator to discuss all the things that can go wrong on a simple piece of A3 paper. We dive into the worlds of fashion, film-making and wartime propaganda to discuss words and images that should never have been put together on paper.

We're reaping what we sow this week on WFF as actor, improviser, comedian and producer Joseph Cullen, whose family are of Cornish farming stock, is with us to talk about the World's Worst Farmer. We talk odd animals, dynamite, gong-farming and the man who taught the world about 'do nothing' farming.

We're not really meant to bring groups of tourists wandering around London in these locked-down times, so Ben and Barry lead a virtual walking tour of the capital of the UK. This was live-streamed on Sunday 26th April 2020, and made use of Google Street View. There was a scavenger hunt if you want to have some fun at home, and you can follow along with the whole thing using the tour at this link: https://tourbuilder.withgoogle.com/builder#play/ahJzfmd3ZWItdG91cmJ1aWxkZXJyEQsSBFRvdXIYgIDg6KXr9wkM/ahJzfmd3ZWItdG91cmJ1aWxkZXJyJwsSBFRvdXIYgIDg6KXr9wkMCxIJUGxhY2VtYXJrGICA4Jj94b0JDA

Is this a podcast? I hadn't noticed. It's time, folks. It's a topic we've had on the radar for a while and finally we settle down on the sofa to watch the World's Worst Rom-Com. Alongside writer and actress Sadie Clark and our special guest judge Dani Charlton, we debate your Four Weddings, your Loves Actually, your Ten Things and so much more. There are star turns from Rob Reiner's mother, Matthew Goode's bad Irish accent, a magical crab and a herd of orphans.

This week you find us brandishing our rubber chickens, whoopee cushions and banana skins in the company of one of the finest joke writers and most wonderfully absurd performers on the UK circuit: John-Luke Roberts.
We're on the hunt for the world's worst joke, whether it's painful damp squibs or punchlines that could end civilisation as we know it. I say, I say, I say…

Roll for initiative! Grab your dice, your pencils, character sheets and assorted costume pieces as we gather around the gaming table for a Dungeons And Dragons-heavy episode all about the World's Worst Spell. We are joined by Tom, Mason and Andrew, some of the gang from Derps and Dragons (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMln1ldUBG9eeUfhpXT70_g) who lay out why Harry Potter would be swept aside by any competent D&D player. Ben delves inside Icelandic coin-purses, while Barry has a spell to counteract the greatest evil of all: Donald Trump.

Man the barricades and try not to fall over the edge as you're doing it. Desperate times call for desperate measures and we've drafted in ace political comedian Joe Wells to help us find the freedom fighters and revolutionaries who we shouldn't be turning to in these turbulent times. Ben brings a classic of the "God talked to me and told me to rain down fire" genre, Barry unleashes centuries of Irish history all over the shop and Joe tells us about a very complicated woman indeed.

It's that time of the month again, your extra dose of Worst Foot Forward in our bonus episode paid for by our kind supporters on Patreon. This month, with half of the world locked away from Covid-19 and trying to think of things to do, Barry takes us on a quick tour of the history and trivia behind various indoor games you can play in your own locked-down home! Learn about the soothsaying past of Solitaire, what the French call Blind Man's Buff and wonder at the beautiful trophy awarded at the Hide-And-Seek World Championships.

There are some strings attached to this week's episode - our first recorded during full-blown lockdown - but we're keeping our spirits up with some helpful hands up our bums. That's what happens when we go looking for the World's Worst Puppet alongside puppeteer on both stage and screen, Mikey Brett. Who just so happens to be Barry's husband. There are excursions to the Muppet Theatre, Sesame Street and prehistoric Chile, as well as ventriloquism on the radio and creepy dolls in Scotland. Enjoy, and we hope you're all staying safe in these mad times.

Well now...this has been quite the week, hasn't it. Ben stubbed his toe on a bed frame late on Friday night and it all seems to have got even worse from there.
Like the world and his wife we've been busying reorganising, panicking, bellowing at the heavens and making the odd inappropriate joke about all this coronavirus shenanigans. We aim to be back with a new episode for you next week, but in the meantime, here's some clips from the vault inspired by viruses and self-isolation.
You can hear us talking about an unsung World War 2 hero with Mike Stuchberry, tinfoil hats with Jim Campbell, weird allergies with Katie Pritchard, a British mission to steal tea from China with Laura Lexx and the science of dog farts with Sarah Jones.
