Castaway 2000 continues with the aftermath of Rays drunken outburst, Peter gets on everyone's nerves with aggressive minute keeping and animals arrive on the island. Cows, sheep and a pony to be exact and lets see how long they last. The housing pods are nearly finished, the doctors are inbound and Ron is threatening children with a fun time. Its getting really good. Planty & John are walking...

We're still on our Castaway 2000 jaunt and now near enough everyone is on the island, ready to go. Except the Doctors family, Ron and some others who are stuck in a haunted Toby Carvery for some reason. Ray continues to slide into drunken madness, we get the first of the Video Diaries and tensions are running high over minor squabbles. The islanders also celebrate Burns Night and tempers spill ove...

Thank you for joining us once again as we struggle on through Castaway 2000 with Episode 4 where both groups of chosen get together for the first time and immediately fall out over contracts and beard assignment. But they're all on the island now. Right? Right?! Planty & John are walking 25 miles in one day for Teesside Hospice in the memory of listener James Allen If you can spare a few quid...

We plod ever onwards with our misguided attempt at doing something new with episode 3 of Castaway. We are introduced to "The Other Group" of miscreants and ne'er do wells who are competing for a space on the Scottish island of Taransay with the rest of them. You'll get Lofty wisdom (and Lofty Facts!), the worst assault course ever, mans conquest of fire and we find out the cracks are already begin...

Things are heating up this week as our intrepid would-be wilderness survivors must learn to operate tarpaulin, kill a chicken and fight each other (not to the death sadly) King Lofty spins his unique wisdom while contemplating becoming a king of the frontier and badger causes mild chaos. We also find out who has been successful in their application, who has not and what they would bring to the isl...

This week and over the coming weeks we are going to take you through the rightfully forgotten BBC reality survival show Castaway 2000 for no other reason then we really love it apparently. That's right, for the next few weeks/months/until we get tired and forget you're going to hear all about a show that is a quarter of a century old. But don't let that put you off, this is some the absolute best...

Come fly with me, lets fly, lets fly away. But please do remember to bring an in date passport yeah? We're back to maximum strength this week as we take you through the "best" of the late '90s fly on the wall shows, the mighty Airline. While most of the show is people angry that they aren't allowed onto actual planes without legitimate documents there are also genuine nuggets of gold in there and...

James is away this week so Planty and Joe are left to their own devices and choose to take you through the short lived and incredibly confusing "quiz" show Shafted! hosted by everyone's favourite whammer Robert Kilroy-Silk. Its a bewildering game where nobody seems to know what's going on and cant really be bothered to make an effort. No wonder it only ran for 4 episodes eh? Normal service will re...

Happy New Year! We are back on our reality TV nonsense this week with a delightful episode of Don't Tell the Bride where idiot men are given money to plan horrible weddings for the supposed love of their lives. In this episode a man who's whole personality is Army and Carling plans a WW2 themed wedding for his fiancé who is a.....beautician? Yes us neither. Find out about wooden planes, drunken bu...

We got into the sweet sherry a bit early this year so here's our slightly tipsy review of the new Netflix nonsense The Merry Gentlemen, the classic Christmas story of taking your top off to save a witches music venue. You'll hear all about improbable career roles, impractical short term goals to raise money and Joe gets weirdly obsessed with nobs. We were a little bit drunk when we recorded this (...

Yeah, we know everyone else is reviewing it but in the words of the late, great Dolores O'Riordan "everyone else is doing it, so why cant we"?

This week we dip our toe back in to the slime filled Gordon swimming pool as we take you through a Cher-Tastic episode of Hotel Hell. It's Kitchen Nightmares but with a lot more semen apparently. You'll find out about plastic plaster, the least successful hotel coup in existence and what you should always have for breakfast.

Awooga! This week to complete our Craig Charles triangle were taking you through the much loved cyborg gladiator nonsense that is Robot Wars (season 9 episode 2) purely for a reason that becomes apparent. If you are not familiar with the concept, teams of nerds, mechanical wizards and for some reason children build and then battle huge armoured robots in an arena that has spikes and fire and that....

As its the scary season we thought we would bring you a terrifying moment from our childhoods in the shape of the 1992 absolute masterpiece Ghostwatch with Parkie and Lister and Greeny and the other bloke. Broadcast as a live ghost hunt on actual Halloween night, this is tale of duplicity, horror and wanking in the high backed chair at a reasonably price hotel chain. Happy Halloween yeah

Welcome stranger! This week as part of our "people with stuff on their head failing basic tasks" series we bring you a classic episode of the fondly remembered and rightly so kids show Knightmare. A simple premise of youths guiding their behelmeted friend through a sort of non union D&D dungeon to win a prize or most likely die by falling off a ledge. Its honestly brilliant. You can hear all a...

Shut up Cyber Phil! This week we take you back to 1993 then Virtual Reality was the future and you could legitimately make a gameshow based on that alone. We are of course talking about Cyberzone the short lived but fondly remembered Craig Charles technology based "Adventure" game where the rules don't matter and the points matter even less. You will hear all about fringed jackets, pointless Wii g...

This week we take you all the way back to 2003 with an episode of the fantastic and weirdly forgotten Time Commanders. Its sort of a bit like Risk but with way more shouting and abject failure. You will hear all about Milton Keynes infrastructure, polo shirt envy, dead 50s rock stars, being unable to see the wood for the trees, Archers, The Archers and Jeffery Archer and some actual historical kno...

Still ploughing our way through the reality TV world and this week its a "fan" request, as we take you through a classic week of the daytime B&B squabble fest Four in a Bed. Imagine Come Dine with Me but its people that own weird hotels and want to be YOUR friend. You'll hear all about egg contraptions, the worst game to play with strangers, the cost of 1 fly, creepy ringmasters and how much t...

Continuing on with our reality TV theme were doing for some reason we bring you this week Season 43 Episode 8 of the long running cookery bastard show Come Dine with me where 5 random people have to host consecutive dinner parties in the hope of winning a grand. A simple enough premise but its always an entertaining watch due to the misguided dreams of the contestents. This episode is all about Cl...

Something a little different as a temporary filler until we are all back together as we take you through a classic episode of Ramsay’s Kitchen Nightmares USA as its something Joe and Mark love greatly and its something we have wanted to try for a bit now. You'll hear all about floor food, Marks virginity and the best off brand Ghostbusters theme you never heard. The whole episode is available on h...

James & Joe are back after a prolonged Genie related incident to take you through a proper Hallmark for the first time in a long time, the 2024 classic Paging Mr Darcy. The story of a dull woman, a dull man and the most annoying sister in the world. You'll hear all about catering biffers, James experimental one man show and the formation of Mansfield Chunk

This week we are joined by the fantastically talented Mr Pat Veil to go through the 2008 classic Punisher: Warzone or The Most Violent Marvel Film to Date as it should be known. You will hear all about bullet sprinklers, Dennis Nedry facts, tales of Pats dashed boyhood dreams and Plantys one impression he can do. Its a little more relaxed in the edit this week simply because talking to Pat is love...

Joe has been abandoned but thankfully the lovely Jay has stepped in to take him through another Hulk Hogan film, this time the 2009 classic Little Hercules in 3D although it wasn't in 3D. Starring Terrible Terry, The Big Show Tall Paul and the little buff boy you all remember from them memes a few years back. Its a simple tale of Hercules, Socrates and somehow Draculas wife going to Burbank to win...

Planty is back and we go all moody as we take you through the 2006 sort of goth classic The Covenant starring a load of high cheekboned lads of indeterminate faces in a film that's a bit like The Craft if you remove everything that is good and replace it with old tiramisu. You'll find out about imaginary spiders, the coolest mum in the world, CROTCH ROCKETS, the best chores for a growing boy and i...

As people are away on holiday, getting married or have been drafted into the French Foreign Legion we decided to do a little mini series of peoples favourite bad movies and what better way to kick off then with the daddy of them all, Jean-Claude Van Dammes video game masterpiece Streetfighter. Were joined by the John from Dammit Vacant and the lovely Ethan Edwards as we find out how much JCVD got...
