Bob speaks again to the FM. "That's not what I said. I told you to tell Nick he's a cunt. NOW TELL NICK HE'S A CUNT."

By this point, Spiers was shouting, and the camera crew all took their cans off. The FM said he refused to do it.

Nick Smith waited for a lull. "It's OK. Tell Bob I can hear him."

Goons archivist Ted Kendall said on @goonpod.bsky.social that it'd be nice to have some more of the first four series, find out what the first series was like, hear more of Bentine - but it doesn't trouble him that much because we've got the best stuff. I think that's a fair view. #GoonForARun

From February 1955... the episode referenced was The Missing Scroll from series 5.

(BTW, 'best new radio show' goes to Arthur Askey??)

Busy this morning. Imagining a scenario if an elephant was married to a goldfish & they divorced, how they would divide up the CD collection

The elephant would keep Fleetwood Mac's Tusk.
The goldfish would have Goodbye Jumbo by World Party (but forget to take it)

This is why Nigel wants to ban WFH

Alexei said he wants people to write in to the BBC and ask if Stuff can be added to iPlayer.

You know what to do.
Just enjoyed Alexei Sayle talking about Stuff, including the time he told Floella Benjamin about his heroin addiction.

He's a five-year-old at someone else's birthday party screaming that everyone should be looking at HIM, spitting all over the birthday cake so nobody else can eat any and then leaving a turd in the bath because the birthday boy's mom asked him to stop pulling everyone's hair

Comedy scholars!

Can anyone help?

Sean Hughes had a routine (or maybe it was in an episode of Sean's Show) where a thug forces him to withdraw cash from an ATM... can anyone help identify where I can find this or did I imagine it?

50 years ago this week The Return Of The Pink Panther was number one at the UK box office. Some film about a shark was at number two.
