Retrospection

163. Crikey It’s Christmas

In this 2025 Christmas edition we’re taking a look at three old British Christmas specials. Carry on Christmas (1969), Christmas With Rutland Weekend Television (1975), and “Rentaghost” RentaSanta (1979). Along the way will Paul find the true meaning of Christmas? Will Colin get the presents he deserves? Or will they end up with the Boxing Day Blues? 

162. Let’s Trance

Ding Dong merrily on high, Deth’s making all the Trancers die. We join Jack Deth and his crusade in an unlikely Christmas movie, Trancers (1984). Along the way Paul Reveals his “method”, Colin shares titles for alternative Trancer films, and we both get confused by this movie’s lore.

161. Halo There

In this episode we banish our devilish behaviour and embrace our Saintly ways, as we take on Roger Moore's appearance as The Saint (1962-1969. Along the way Paul's morals fall under intense scrutiny, Colin reluctantly learns about Paul's potty, and we both wish our dinner ladies looked like Shirley Eaton. 

160. Happy Halloween

In this episode James and Paul run through their five favorite Halloween spooky entertainment treats.

159. Misanthropic Lycanthrope

It's that time year again where we get ghastly and embrace the spooky side. This time we're scaring ourselves with, The Wolfman (1941). Along the way Paul attempts to give us all a history lesson, Colin gets confused by accents, and they both want to cash in on that scary 1940s exchange rate.

158. Sky Diving Stunt Scientist

In this sizzling episode we’re strapping on our parachutes and diving on to another ITC classic, The Protectors (1972-74). Let’s hope we packed our safety cute! 

Along the way Paul has issues with the music, Colin’s research skills reach an all time high, and we both splash on the Brut.

157. Stark Raving Bad

We’re taking the plunge with the cult underwater, scifi series, Seaquest DSV (1993-96). Along the way Paul reveals that he hoovers salt like a Star Trek monster, Colin is impressed by a plastic dolphin, and we both reveal our fear of being trapped in a tin can with a load of seamen.

156. It’s Slobberin’ Time

In a shameless tie-in with the summer blockbusters of 2025, we’re doing a second superhero episode. This time, we’re joining the Fantastic Four in their 1994 outing (well almost out).

Along the way James joins us again as carer and comic book fact checker, Paul deals with some questionable age differences, and Colin finds his perfect role. 

155. Flights and Tights!

We’re swooping down on the TV series, Lois and Clark (1993-1997), along the way Paul works on a joke (finally), Colin flunks Superman school, and we both wrangle with the complexities of being a superhero.

154. Time to Thunderize

It’s a countdown to action as we launch our way into the live-action cinematic outing for Thunderbirds (2004).

Along the way Paul reveals his dream job, Colin is distracted by ham, and they both get Busted.
