  • File Under: ‘Nice’.

    Wonderful, undefinable, rambling, often wrong, always nice … imagine a giant junk shop where every item on every shelf triggers shuddering memories of the lovely, English past. Mike and Paul put them there, you fool!

  • A Very Nice Thing

    I accidentally stumbled into this Podcast after enjoying the BBC Archive then searching for old TV, and absolutely adore it. Listened to the first few new episodes and loved NT so much, I’ve now nearly completed the back catalogue, before coming back to new episodes! Loads of wonderful chat about old TV, British history and rather a lot of silly stuff. Wonderful Podcast, please give it a listen and thanks to Sir & Madam Hosts!
