The Great British ShitcomHealth & EfficiencyWhen you go to a Toby Carvery you'll likely pile your plate up with every food imaginable to make what you'd consider 'the ultimate roast'. This analogy does not apply to Health & Efficiency.
This is the story of the guy from 2point4 Children who left Lynn from Alan Partridge at the alter while the Scouser from Goodnight Sweetheart panics in the face of being a doctor as Trigger from Only Fools & Horses plays a mean surgeon. A smorgasbord of delights.2021-11-2952 min

It’s a brand new day of recording as we make our day into the second half of the series. The lads are on top form, with Fanta Zero and Pretzels at the ready. We’re as prepared as we’ll ever be.
We went into this sitcom not knowing too much about it, other than the premise. We’d assumed it was your classic posh meets rough n’ ready in a culture clash that inevitably leads to love. With the furious banging left out due to pre-water...2021-11-2259 min

The Great British ShitcomThe DustbinmenEpisode 0601 and we’re watching The Dustbinmen.
Our first podcast since Covid and averaging 5 hours sleep between us, we sat through the premiere (aka Debut) episode of this classic from ’69 (nice).
With the main characters names Cheese and Egg, Heavy Breathing, Winston Platt and Eric, we knew before going in this was going to be an absolute treat.
Is Mr. Sheen really the Rad Baron? Just how close do you need to drive to a bin van to catch the smell? Which Thunderbird is which? All these questions and more get discussed to zero...2021-11-0145 min
