Episode 126 - WHEN THE BOUGH BREAKS

Ian and Kev get up to date with your feedback and a bunch of other stuff. So there are questions and things, plus an in-depth study on the nature of fame, as the lads dig up an old TV fossil to give him a bit of a dusting off. Which he'd probably quite enjoy. What are we on about? Listen to it, you fool! Twitter is an acceptable form of communication: @iancollinsuk and @sideshow_kev

Episode 124 - CELEBRITY DEATHWATCH

Been a heck of a year, hasn't it? What with all these famous folk exiting the planet in seemingly huge numbers. So, to catch up on things, the lads pay tribute to the fallen, in what we'd like to describe as a "touching, thoughtful" episode, but what is in reality the usual abject nonsense - only this time, about corpses, really. With some corpsing at the end. Twitter! @iancollinsuk and @sideshow_kev

I'm not going to lie to you, Marge... it's been a while.

Ep 116 - BOBBIN' ALONG

Your patience is finally rewarded, with brand new WANTS A WORD... with Ian and Kev and Andre - not to mention some delightful creamy cones from Abdul. Creamy cones! Ha.

Ep 113 - OH, MANDY...

There's no denying it.
