  • Not Lillicrap

    A Gareth Hale tribute act and a bald Louis Theroux discuss growing old, local teachers, grout cleaning, You Tube comments, 90s comedy, failing health, gaviscon and things that happen between a very specific time frame. Oh there’s also a You Tube video getting ignored.

  • My Review

    I am writing a review. It didn't specify it had to be about this podcast so... the Remington smooth & silky battery operated ladyshaver.

    Apparently produces perfectly smooth skin, not so, liars. Doesn't shave my skin closely and I am a lady and everything. It's pink because I'm a girl, that's how I know it's for me. Waste your money if you want.

  • Forever a wheeler

    This podcast makes Mondays worth getting up for! Mark and Martyn kick Mondays to bits with their comedy take on nostalgic tv shows and cartoons. Laugh out loud funny, I never miss an episode. They are great guys too but be careful they don’t start drinking your nutrients.
