This podcast always rings twice, then knocks three times, then peers through the window, then climbs over a gate to check around the back before just shoving the parcel through the cat-flap. It's an episode with comedian and postal worker Tom Toal all about the World's Worst Messenger, in which Tom charges into the Valley of Death with the Light Brigade after a miscommunication. Meanwhile, Barry explains how shooting the messenger can have global ramifications and Ben enlightens us as to why his package seems to be crying.

Allons-y, companions! This week we are jumping into our TARDIS and exploring the Whoniverse, as Barry takes Ben on an adventure through space and time to talk all things Doctor Who. With the iconic BBC show's 60th anniversary being marked, we whizz through everything from Hartnell to Gatwa. There are the show's humble beginnings and how it was nearly ruined by Lee Harvey Oswald. There are mishaps galore, from flooded studios to visible tattoos, lost episodes to bootleg erotica. And there are the tales of the weird and wonderful design choices, from the Daleks' near-miss with Hollywood royalty to K9's near-miss with a cheap dog costume. All this and more in this bonus episode which is definitely bigger on the inside.

We're drinking from the half full part of the podcast this week as we revisit episodes 106-110 - and look for the positive stories on show. Ben and Barry sooth you with the finest lullabies, bamboozle you with puzzles, salute the finest military tactics (and, with less enthusiasm evil geniuses) and end with the finest experiments ever concocted. In between there's the usual mix of Beatles chat, oddball trivia and, for a change, very little harm to dogs.

We love a live show here at Worst Foot Forward and this one was no different! We were joined by the team from Lexx Education - Laura Lexx and her brother Ron - for an episode about the World's Worst Sibling as part of the Cheerful Earful Podcast Festival in London. Brothers-in-arms Ben and Barry presented a combination of Hollywood and Washington high-flyers, while Laura went back to Ancient Egypt and Rob discovered a third, less-good Attenborough brother down the back of the genealogical sofa.

We're howling at the moon, growing our hair and nails, and gaining American citizenship before travelling to London and then Paris as we transform into the World's Worst Werewolf. We are joined by comedian, gamer and master of Werewolf Live, Jon Gracey, for this monstrous Hallowe'en special, where Barry journeys through the south of France, Jon shares his favourite Thai film with us and Ben teaches us why tomatoes are not to be trusted.
Oh, and to enjoy the scary werewolf transformation Jon references in the episode, watch it here... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6H3PRSg8ReM

To celebrate our returning guest Laura Lexx we're going back to the topic she talked about when she first appeared on the show: tea! We uncover a colonial hero/villain from the Twining dynasty, why teapots are an essential component in computing and one of the stupdiest scientific experiments ever carried out.

Hallowe'en is coming fast and, for that one night, trick-or-treating will be everyone's nocturnal activity of choice. So we are joined by actor and writer Josh Tonks to talk about what's going in those bags and pumpkin-head buckets as we chew through the World's Worst Candy. There is WW2 military chocolate which was designed NOT to be too tasty, there are origin stories for names from Milk Duds to lollipops, and Josh has even created a candy-themed playlist for you all to enjoy - check it out!

From the doghouse to the White House, we've got a menagerie of prime ministerial wannabes, woofing would-be world leaders and purring political animals. Yes, in this bonus episode we explore the curious history of animals running for elected office. On the ballot are the likes of Pigasus The Immortal, Limberbutt McCubbins and Crawfish T. Crawfish, with a special guest appearance by half-squid elder horror, Cthulu himself.
