With a thump and a grinding of gears, Tony's magic bingo machine has kicked back into action.
Yes, normal service has finally been resumed at the Presidential Shed, and, as if to make up for lost weeks, it's a double guest episode today. Alternative comedy icon Rowland Rivron and actor Jess Mann have both vaulted the outer keep and made their way inside the shed, just in time to go a-rambling.
And it's just as well we have four heads as the bingo machine is in a particularly brain-stretching mode today. The first number is the distinctly cerebral
221.32: Specific Subdivisions for Historical or Geographical Narratives Within the Old Testament. Straight into the good stuff! We delve into the religious upbringing of our guests, mull the higher matters, and ponder the question of why Paul keeps finding himself in a wicker statue full of candles.
But there's no time to castigate Paul for his pagan idolatory! The bingo machine moves us on to 843: French Fiction. Our idiots four can barely read, let alone master the belles lettres of la belle France. We swerve onto safer intellectual ground immediately, wavering through musicals to Adrian Mole and finding time to share stories of the much-missed Rik Mayall. Both our special guests worked with that comedy legend and one of them even lived with him, but maybe not the one you think.
Then we stagger on to 334: Cooperatives. Does the bingo machine mean the economic model or the supermarket? We know which one we're more comfortable chatting about - and it's neither of them, it's funerals, graves, death and other hilarious matters.
Come and join us for a conversation that covers a lot of ground, in such a wafer-thin layer than you might finish it thinking you've learned nothing at all...
