Goon Pod

Hey. Take a listen to our new show!

New episode of Goon Pod drops tomorrow!

Just remembered that time a few years ago in Lymm bakery when the queue was being held up by a grey-haired nutcase at the counter who was telling the staff that "the Japanese fought until it was last man standing!" Reader, it was Ian Brown.

Michael, we're not going to fight about this, okay? Paul, I think I told you, I'm lover not a fighter. I've heard it all before, Michael... she told me that I'm her forever lover, you know, don't you remember? Well, after loving me, she said she couldn't love another...

Robert Robinson looking like he's just ordered his boys to bounce you off the wall for being a thieving slag

"Remember what your father told you, Hansel - never trust someone the same colour as your dungarees."

"You can stuff your novels, chum. I read the OED. It's all in there"

It's 55 years since Michael Caine beat up Alf Roberts

That time Bruce Forsyth climbed Everest with Sherpa Tenzing

We talked about Vic & Bob on GP with MJ Price of Quite A Boast podcast! www.youtube.com/watch?v=JRIG...

I'd be quite happy with Cliff releasing a reggae song for Christmas if it was dedicated to the memory of Donald J Trump

Every bit as good as you expect. And I definitely used to get the Sunday Fear when I heard that mournful trumpet.

So proud to be involved with this in a small way - can't wait for it to come out! shop.bfi.org.uk/the-goons-at...

I can’t stand the “That Was Before My Time” lot, especially when they’re inconsistent. My 20-yr-old son can tell me what the diet of the stegosaurus was yet stares at me blankly when I mention Winifred Atwell

Totally missed this had been released. I wish I'd come up with this idea! Bastards :D

My nervous system is having difficulty taking this in

The first episode of EN9 dropped today, in which we look at a 1981 episode of Open All Hours and also discuss the Roy Clarke sitcom universe, replete with repetition and brassy Northern women. The burning question is of course: well, DID they? Take a listen: podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/e...

I'm sure the cast are still alive, it's not too late to commission a series, BBC!

My reaction to absolutely everything right now

"His Wife Retweeted Andrew Neil" (Edward Muir-Gorton, 1865)

My wife has just admitted, after nearly thirty years together, that she only pretended to like the Carry On films to please me when we were courting. Grounds for divorce?

Just a gentle reminder that EN9 debuts tomorrow and you can also follow updates on the Bluesky account @episodenumbernine.bsky.social

I hate to be down on the BBC, but Christ in shitty underpants WHAT THE HELL ARE THEY THINKING?!

Get to know me by the book I keep in my lavatory

Just showed the chaps the worst TV ad ever made, an abomination from my childhood in Nil Zilund www.youtube.com/watch?v=UTT2...

Also featuring @bobfischer.bsky.social and @georgyjamieson.bsky.social on the Fireworks Code plus appearances from @stillanygood.bsky.social, @goonpod.bsky.social, @herring1967.bsky.social and @iammilliam.bsky.social. timworthington.org/2026/03/06/t...

It wouldn’t surprise me at all if James Blunt and Rory Stewart turned out to be the same man

Here's a quick trailer for the new show (out on Wednesday) which features a music bed grandma might object to and a clip of Tyler & Chris talking about a Roy Clarke sitcom podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

OUT WEDNESDAY! Episode One of EPISODE NUMBER NINE in which we look at OPEN ALL HOURS! * Was Lynda Baron the sexiest woman on British television? (yes - Ed.) * See how many 'Roy Clarke-isms' we can tick off * Stammering for comic effect: the case for the defence * And... lubricated Rubiks Cubes?

New! THE GREAT REGENT'S PARK SWIM pod.link/1569929507 A convoluted plot involving green liquid, the invention of Regent's Park Canal and the word "Help!" for people who are drowning, this week's show also suffers from unfortunate timing as Moriarty falls foul of a tiger. Also: Eurovision jollies

I'm sick of biopics about people who may be famous to other people but are nonentities as far as I'm concerned Give me two hours on the life of Geoffrey Palmer called I Want My Sausage

"Yes, I do look rather startled, don't I? I was in a photo booth and somebody poked an eclair through the curtain."

Walter Matthau. Every time he popped up in a film on TV she'd wail, "Ugh, his FACE!"

Which Fast Show character do you most identify with?

I so want to believe my wife’s story that when she was working for John Lewis she took a call from someone on behalf of Professor Stephen Hawking who was complaining because a freezer delivery was late. She could hear him in the background: “Don’t... let...them... fob...you...off.”

From the Sioux City Journal, July 1930 - Goofey Movies comic strip, including a character called 'Spike Milligan'

Next week our first show drops, hosted by Chris Diamond and Tyler Adams and it's looking at an episode of OPEN ALL HOURS from 1981. Here's a picture of Nurse Gladys Emmanuel reacting to a ribald crack from a r-randy shopkeeper

"Of course we don't watch the BBC in our house. I rang them up and said "I refuse to pay your tax for rubbish that nobody wants to watch anyway" - what did I say Roy?" "You said "Can you send me a tape of Ross Kemp sweating and shouting?""

Nigel Farage once said his favourite sitcoms were The Good Life, Dad's Army and 'Allo 'Allo. Ok, I wouldn't have expected Glam Metal Detectives or The Strange World of Gurney Slade but there is something drearily predictable about his choices.

An example of the sort of letters the presenter of Police 5 used to receive.
