Another great episode, lovingly smothered in a scarlet pimpernel sauce. And a great discussion on Series 1 and why it should not be ignored. Apart from the portrayal of Edmund.

Now, I would like to discuss this Red Dwarf business, and one of our hosts not enjoying it... this is just NOT ON!...

This week’s Major Star is Mrs Miggins, a welcome female addition to the sausage fest that is Blackadder The Third. Far from having a “brain the size of a sultana” she reveals herself to be a canny businesswoman with a floury finger on the pulse of the times.

I own both of these books - signed by Alan - and both are terrific reads. If you like a creepy read, with characters and bad pennies that keep turning up, these are well worth your time.

As we note and celebrate #BohemianRhapsody at 50, I thought I'd share a potted thought of how (I think) Freddie's use of 3 chords informed much of his songwriting. Years ago I droned on at length to @lappods.bsky.social @swordofreason.bsky.social about this. @oiqfc.bsky.social

As indicated from your scores @metalkevin.bsky.social , a bit of a mixed bag in this lot of five with Accession being the clear favourite which started my love of Nick Cave music. Next 5 also a mixed bag IMHO, before we start a strong run to the finish of Season 2.

Speaking of turmoil, it feels like there is a fair bit of it prevalent worldwide at the moment.
However, a quick listen to this podcast episode, followed by @mocca1976.bsky.social choice of Jeff Wayne's War of the Worlds should do nicely.
Another great ep from @thesoundofcmoffatt.bsky.social

In some added Turmoil this week I've been notified that the show has earned its first copyright strike!

I suggest listening to the unexpurgated episode ASAP in case they don't accept my response and I'm forced to remove and edit it.

Tell your friends.

Loved hearing Ian and Michael talking about one of the great underrated TV shows of the past 20 years. So much incredible stuff in this show - the plots, the songs, the guest stars, the characters. But just Brett and Jermaine in particular. Magnificent. Watch it - after listening to this of course!

In this special bonus episode, we look at New Zealand’s “fourth most popular comedy-folk duo” and their award-winning HBO show, which centres on Bret and Jemaine’s spectacular failure to take New York by storm.
