Frame 136 - These Are The Days of Miracle and Wonder - We're mourning the death of a cinematic great, but we still need to know the 8.03 football scores, however painful they may be for York City and can Sibyl keep up her amazing 1 week run of getting the result partially correct? It's an incredible frame of snooker from start to finish. You are going to be lucky too witness this, even if in audio...

Chapter 118 - Fimile - it's 5.45pm on 31st March 2022 and the ftone gods are fending more terrible weather to blight Richard's attempts. But what is the snow like?

Part 2 of the advice-packed interview from Daniel Peak, one of our most successful sitcom creators. Code 404, Not Going Out - and he's not afraid to talk about the ones that got away.

Frame 135 - Post-Watershed - The snooker is recorded at 9pm this week, meaning a certain number of swear words are allowed, but will the Mes use them all? And can they top (or just copy) the Oscars? And how will having football scores from later in the game affect things? What the Hell is this thing? How is it still going on? Why are you enabling it by consuming it? This is your responsibility. Wh...

Frame 134 - Ajax - The snooker is in danger of being replaced by a football update service. Which I think might be more popular. But Sibyl would surely warn us if that was going to happen, so accurate are her predictions. Anyway, more snooker playing in what is a crucial frame in the competition.

Chapter One One Feven - I'm Not Faying I'm Jefuf - It's 7.45am on the 9th March 2022 and there's a little bit of a wind going on and Wolfie is making enemies and friends, as we return to the Ftone Ocean for another important chapter in the audio binder that is Stone Clearing. Rich reveals news about lost Fhakefpeare plays and gofpels - how does he know so much about it? I can't say. The cairn that...

Chapter One One Fix - Felfridgef - It's 7.45am on 3rd March 2022 and it's time for a nice quiet stone clear. Why don't we just enjoy the views and have less of the yapping? Some stones are cleared, the main cairn is coming along lovely, look and Rich lets you know what he'd do if he was CEO of various companies.

Frame 133 - Young Boys. Richard is going great guns with his 8.02pm football score catch up. He might even stop doing the snooker and concentrate on that. But for now the snooker continues and it's a stone cold classic frame and it's a crucial one for the competition. Maybe as few as 1000 frames to go, so don't miss it.

Howard's friend Smith likes two things: making bets and getting in sewers. In this story from 12-year-old Howard, Smith tries to do both. More episodes: https://www.comedy.co.uk/podcasts/worst_writer/ Join the gang: https://www.patreon.com/manbuycow

James and Dave have read your Hat Trick Script Competition Scripts and here are the headlines: 1. It really is hard. 2. Thanks so much for sending them in. Oh and a few thoughts about mockumentaries, sociopaths and the language of sitcom scripts.

Frame 132 22/2/22 - It's a day of massive numerical significance, but will that be reflected in the final score. Sibyl certainly thinks so. And will Rich finish the show in time to get some time to himself before his wife gets home? So much jeopardy, so many twos. This is a crucial frame in the contest that is bound to have an effect on the final result. But who will win. Who??? More episodes: htt...

Chapter 115 - Donald Finden - It's 5.50pm on 20th February 2022 and Richard heads outside and is surprised to see that it's lightly raining. He does not know what is to come. I do not think it is hyperbole to say that what he encounters is as challenging as climbing Everest, but it's been transplanted to the bottom of the Marianas Trench without oxygen or feet. No spoilers but if you are of a nerv...

Howard digs out his middle school History book - and finds that , even in History class, he wrote stories. This one is a day in the life of a Sumerian child, and showcases all the subtlety and compassion that we have come to expect from 12-year-old Howard.

Episode 58 Biscuit - A physically and mentally drained Richard Herring is glad to see the end of the second series of Twitch Of Fun (we're taking a break, but as long as Ian Twitch recommissions the show we should be back in a few weeks), but the less prepared and more knackered it is, the better the show and Ally really steps up to bring in the required energy. The pair discuss why aliens are sta...

Frame 131 - For Whom the Bell Dongs - After a fortnight hiatus the Mes are back, in a crucial frame that could make all the difference in the contest. With a visit from the completely innocent Duke of York and another prediction from Sybil, the players get down to some very exciting snooker action. Who will win? I am not telling you in this blurb as that's more or less the whole point of the game....

In this week's episode, Howard sets Rufus a challenge to write in a style that's way out of his comfort zone - erotica. The result is a story so damn sexy that Howard can barely read it without exploding. CONTENT WARNING: sex acts and naughty words.

Chapter 114 - Pink! - It's just before midday on 13th February 2022 and after a week amongst the stones of Wales, Richard is back where he belongs, watching a dog poo in a bush. There's a spooky encounter with a goblin baby and the domination of an unusual hue, plus more stone clearing advice for the intermediate stone clearer who probably doesn't yet hear the beautiful voices of the stones.

This week, we read two short pieces by Young Howard. The first, by 11-year-old Howard, is a short story about a gang of kids daring each other to take life-threatening risks. The second is a highly inappropriate list that 13-year-old Howard's teacher told the whole class to write.
