You may remember that Rob and Guy covered Peter Cook in quite some detail in our episode on the Rise & Rise of Michael Rimmer with our guest, Tom Salinsky of Best Pick Pod. Well, now we are talking about Cook & Moore as a duo, focusing mainly on Not Only But Also and, of course, our film for this week, Bedazzled. Rather neatly, another host of Best Pick joins us for the 1967 Faustian adaptation. John Dorney gets involved with our Pete & Dud-centric episode. Bedazzled, also starring Eleanor Bron, Raquel Welch, and Barry Humphries, is the first film we have covered on Britcom Goes to the Movies, which has a Hollywood remake. Much as the idea of a Tom Cruise-starring remake of On The Buses would excite us, it simply doesn't exist! To Rob and Guy's shame, they didn't watch the remake, but luckily our guest did and was more than happy to fill us in on that as well.  Tom Salinksy and Jess Regan (the other two presenters of Best Pick) had chosen movies that shot straight to number one on our League table (although neither Michael Rimmer nor Sightseers stayed there), so could John continue this trend? Could Guy eat into Rob's quiz lead with John's questions on Cook & Moore? Find out by listening to episode 3!

What does it mean to be truly funny? We often associate the word ‘funny' with comedy and making people laugh. But it can also mean being witty, incisive ironic, playful, teasing, or delivering little moments of truth. On this episode, I'm speaking to comedy writer Paul Dornan, whose new company, True Funny, helps people discover what makes them funny — in the loosest sense of the word — and how they can maximise that in the way they present themselves. Not to make them artificially funny in an [inster funny joke here] type way, but naturally and authentically.In our discussion, we explored how Paul came to become a comedy writer, working with comedy legend Barry Humphries. He explains how comedy was an inherent part of his family and how that led him to his career. We explore what makes comedy work and why being funny is all about being human.Paul shares some of his thoughts about how being more authentic can make us more engaging and how the increasing power of cognitive technology means we all need to be more human.To find out more about Paul and his company, True Funny: https://truefunny.co.uk/During our discussion, Paul referred to a number of comedians and comedy shows:Barry Humphries and Barry's comedy alter ego Dame Edna Everage: https://www.dame-edna.com/A clip that Paul referred to where Dame Edna speaks to former UK Prime Minister Ted Heath.

As we hit record, the official trailer for S02 of “And Just Like That” (aka the Sex and the City reboot) has dropped. Do we care? Of course we do. Next door on HBO, a new Harry Potter series is brewing with some changes afoot. The death of Barry Humphries has drawn different reactions from all corners. Sammy J captures the complexities of farewelling the comic who said some crook stuff in his final years. And we've got an update from Matthew Perry and his relationship with Keanu after the weird stuff he said in his memoir. The rom-com is well and truly back, with 37 coming out this year alone! But they're looking a bit different in 2023. And it's a double dose of FARSHUN as we preview the Met Gala and farewell Palazzo Versace.

Two thirds of the earth is covered in water, the rest is covered by London Calling. But this week we've left London behind as James and Toby find themselves on opposite sides of the world – Toby in Canada, James in Hong Kong – and whether jet lag gets worse as you get older.James says Hong Kong may not be a democracy any longer, but then, neither is the UK, while Toby tells him how much he's enjoying being in Canada, not least because there are plenty of conservatives in rural areas who have no time for their Prime Minister.Then it's on to discuss the news of the hour – Tucker Carlson's departure from Fox News – with James claiming it's because he's too Team James and Toby thinking it's because the Murdochs were embarrassed about having to settle the Dominion law suit.They aslo pay tribute to the late Barry Humphries, briefly discuss the candidacy of Robert Kennedy Jr, explore the pro-natalist movement (to which James is sympathetic, although he gets sidetracked into talking about his new theory that Greta Thunberg is a small, hairless man.)In Culture Corner, they discuss The Playlist, The Night Agent, and The Whale. Falling off the bookshelf is Anna Karenina, which James is reading in Hong Kong, and Andrew Roberts's magisterial Churchill biography, which Toby is listening to in Canada.Opening sound this week is the Canadian Prime Minister rewriting history on the vaccine mandates.
