In this episode, the gang takes a nostalgic stroll down memory lane, exploring the quirks of old-school technology, eccentric TV personalities, and the comfort of familiar films. From blinking answer phones to telephone seats in hallways, and from the delights of "Two Fat Ladies" to classic feel-good movies, we cover it all.

Plus, we dive into the peculiar joys of bingo, VHS discoveries, and the autobiographies (and biographies) that capture our imagination—or frustrate us.

What We Talk About:

Answer Phones & Telephone Seats: Remember the thrill of seeing a blinking light on your answering machine? Hayley, Tommy, and Duncan reminisce about landlines, hallways, and how messaging has changed over time.

Dial-a-Disc: A retro blast from the past—listening to pop songs via a telephone service from the '60s to '90s.

Eccentric TV Personalities: Celebrating legendary presenters like Keith Floyd, David Bellamy, and the iconic Two Fat Ladies, Jennifer Patterson and Clarissa Dixon Wright.

Bingo Memories: From Butlins to industrial bingo halls, the hosts share tales of bingo calling, dabbers, and rowdy crowds.

Comfort Films & Rewatchables: The movies we return to for warmth and nostalgia, including Home Alone, The Blues Brothers, Withnail & I, The Italian Job, and Groundhog Day.

Missed & Overrated Films: Hayley confesses she's never seen blockbusters like Titanic or Jurassic Park, while Tommy and Duncan debate cinematic classics.

Books We Love (or Hate): From Boris Johnson's autobiography to Jeffrey Bernard's Low Life, the hosts discuss the power of storytelling, self-deprecation, and occasionally frustrating reads.
