The Old Gits & Hits Podcast

On this podcast, we are talking to David about a project he's been working on for 9 years. David's son is an actor, and when he first went to drama school, during the first half-term holiday, he brought home the music for a new show that was to become a global sensation. That show was SIX; for those that haven't heard or seen it, it is about the 6 wives of Henry VIII and, of course,...

We won't write too much here, as it is better coming from John in his own words; however, just to say, John suggested that he thought it might help others in a similar situation to him with his recent cancer diagnosis and how he and, importantly, his family are handling the findings and the treatment he is now undergoing.  We will leave the rest to John, who will take you through it in the ex...

Yes, it certainly is well only in Old Git World. We visited the home of Mr Christmas UK, and the big man was there, ready and waiting for us. It was our visit to the home of Andy Parke, who is officially Mr Christmas, and what a wonderful surprise and great day out it was for us. As we arrived, the Queen's speech was on TV; Mr Christmas runs this EVERY single day of the year and alternates be...

Yes, as the title suggests, we are still working on hitting the road with our very own unique 'fast food' offering. This is actually the audio version we put out on our YouTube channel (what do you mean you didn't know we had a YouTube channel)? Just go to YouTube on any device; mind you, we look surprisingly wonderful on widescreen TV. Mind you, I think that's thanks to Hair,...

For those of you who haven't caught up with our YouTube channel, this is one of our latest videos. (Incidentally, it's easy to watch on mobile, tablet, computer, or even your TV. Just go to YouTube and type in Old Gits and Hits). Anyway, for those that just can't be bothered, like the true Old Gits we are. We decided to deliver it as a podcast as well, so here it is. Now as you know...

Yet another money-making opportunity that we have, and believe it or not, this one definitely has legs, well, actually wheels. This story came about when a leading lady 'luvvie' announced that her mother fed her rubbish food by giving her crisp sandwiches. Now, being Old Gits, we took umbrage with that as we are totally convinced the crisp sandwich is a British food institution that need...

As a team, we always endeavour to put the fun into each of our shows. Occasionally, there is a subject that needs serious consideration, and a segment of this week's show did exactly that, under the guidance of Chris Criddle, who speaks candidly about the issues he encountered himself. As a reminder, we can all be one small step away from suffering from mental health issues, not just for a we...
