Two guest Presidents? Well why not! Joining us this week we have both Robin Ince and James Payton!

Well could it be that the bingo machine is playing a trick as Allan is convinced they’ve wandered down that pathway once before! That certainly doesn’t stop our ramblers.After that surely the machine will be kind to us with her next selection?886: Not Used. Hmm…well, let’s see what they manage to do with that! After all that it’s time to head back down the garden path to Tony’s shed, to get the kettle on and give those legs a rest.If nothing else it’s better than a kick up t’pants!Tony Slattery’s Rambling Club is a free-associating conversation, involving very special guests.

Surely any podcast would make sure if they had a star of a certain famous sci-fi show as their guest the day before a brand new series, the hosts would at least talk about it said show?Not the Rambling Club!Our Guest President this week, leading the members Tony Slattery’s Rambling Club, is none other than television icon and Doctor Who assistant Katy Manning!

A lesson awaits here- the actress and the character are not the same. One day we’ll discuss spooky things with someone who believes in such things! However, two tales of non-existent appendicitis? Surely that’s a bit spooky? Isn’t it?Number 791 is our final destination- public performances. And we don’t mean having a wee in the street.

What influence did that have on his life?After that number 910 awaits- Geography & Travel. Tales of travel and geography teachers abound along with a glimpse behind the doors of Inside Number 9! It doesn’t take too long for this to wander off course and, before you know it, Leonard Rossiter is playing Hitler in a Brecht piece!

This could be taken any way but the big question is, will Paul manage not to bang on about bloody Shakespeare.  Then we’re off to number 383- Postal Communication.
