Join Joey and Tim as they come up with their pitches for the silver screen!

Should I stay or go now? Is it time to give up on Blighty? #JonGaunt #BrokenBritain #IllegalMigration #UKPolitics #Blighty #SmallBoats #UKCrime #CostOfLiving The sentiment on Jon Gaunt TV has never been clearer: people are fed up. But is it time to give up on Britain entirely? Tonight we're having the conversation everyone else is too afraid to have. I've seen your comments—you're telling me the country is "broken," "lost," and that the social contract has been shredded. From the "Two-Tier" policing and the disaster at our borders to the feeling that our identity is being erased, the frustration is at boiling point. Tonight, we're asking the big questions: The "Fed Up" Factor: What was the final straw for you? Is it the NHS, the cost of living, or the political betrayal of Brexit? What Would You Miss? Is there anything left of the "Original" British spirit worth staying for, or has the "once proud G.B." been destroyed for good? The Grass is Greener? We're looking at the reality of moving abroad. One viewer says they'd leave tomorrow for £40k to start a business in Thailand—is he right? Is life actually better as an expat, or are you just swapping one set of problems for another? This is an interactive show. I want to hear from those of you who have already left, those with a one-way ticket booked, and those who are staying to "Reset" this nation. Don't just moan in the comments—join the debate. Jon Gaunt, Jon Gaunt TV, Jon Gaunt Live, Should I stay or go now, Is it time to give up on Blighty, Broken Britain, Illegal Migration, Small Boats, Border Control, Crime in UK, Two-tier Policing, Cost of Living Crisis, UK Politics, Moving Abroad, Expat Life, British Identity, UK News, The Clash, Interactive Debate, Blighty. #JonGaunt #BrokenBritain #IllegalMigration #UKPolitics #Blighty #SmallBoats #UKCrime #CostOfLiving #StayOrGo #BritishIdentity #LiveDebate #shouldistayorshouldigo This is political blogging and hard-hitting social commentary from Triple Sony Gold Award-winning talk radio legend, Jon Gaunt — former host on BBC, Talk Radio, and Sky News. On Jon Gaunt TV, we cut through the noise and say what others won't. No political correctness. No censorship. Just real conversations that matter.

Most people think they understand what urban legends are — but what if some are closer to the truth than we realize? In this episode, we explore bizarre, intriguing stories with roots that might go deeper than folklore. Tim and Joey bring their signature humour and curiosity to stories about mysterious sightings, legendary figures, and the curious truths hidden behind the hype.You'll discover:The chilling tale of the “Porcelain Phantom,” an urban legend involving a ghostly figure in a university bathroom that could be more than just a creepy story.The bizarre but bizarrely plausible story of “Raining Ellie,” a rural American myth about a vengeful spirit who preys on stormy nights — and the lessons it teaches about respecting the storm.The wild narrative of “Train Men,” a spooky train station story set in London that's so weird, it just might be real.How urban legends reflect cultural fears and social anxieties, whether they're true or just tall tales.Perfect for lovers of folklore, thrill-seekers, or anyone who enjoys a good scare laced with humour. This episode isn't just about myth — it's about the stories we tell ourselves and what they might mean.Join Joey and Tim as they blend humour, skepticism, and a dash of fright to uncover the mysteries nestled within our collective imagination. Whether these stories are just tricks of the mind or something darker, you'll walk away questioning what's real — and what's just a really good story.Tune in for a fun, spooky ride into the heart of urban legend storytelling — entertaining, thought-provoking, and just a little bit terrifying.

In this episode we explore the incredible story of Machine Gunner Robert Hynd, whose dead body was identified during the Battle of Arras and buried by his comrades. But it wasn't him…he had been taken Prisoner of War and was in Germany. For 3 long months his parents thought he was dead until they received a post card from him. How did this happen? What was the impact on the family? We find out through the words of Robert himself. We also meet the sister of a casualty who describes, and draws, the battlefield in 1919. Helen McKie later became the only woman, in 1931, to sketch the future Fuhrer. We also discover some other incredible stories on the Arras battlefields.

Josh and Alex watch another movie and talk over it. This time, we're... celebrating..? 25 years of 'Lara Croft: Tomb Raider.' You can watch Lara Croft: Tomb Raider (2001,) too and suffer with us.

Trump's regretting a war he can't explain, his own counter terrorism chief has walked, and even his podcast fanboys are starting to wobble. Meanwhile, here in Blighty, Starmer's juggling Mandelson fallout and the Trawl ladies are horrified by the creeping Palantir influence, as tech billionaires get a little too comfortable playing politics. Marina and Jemma can't believe what one Palantir boss is admitting out loud.Then, Richard Tice talks patriotism while taking full advantage of perfectly legal tax structures which means he can shave 600K off his bill. Lucky him! And so interesting given what he had to say about Angela Rayner's 40K discrepancy. Hypocritical much? Meanwhile, Reform's finest are busy monetising outrage on Cameo. It's chaos, hypocrisy and a hefty dose of buyer's remorse.

Over the holidays, we were in Canada's Royal City - Victoria, BC - and Erik suggested we take on The Kinks song of the same name. She reigned for 63 years so her impact was large, on both Ray Davies and the city of the newly wed & nearly dead! Mexico's Los Rockin Devils covered the song the same year and we don't speak Spanish, but we think they changed the lyrics to make it a love song. If it has a [Tex-]Mex-style organ, we don't care! In the US, Little Roger & The Goosebumps made a bubblegum/powerpop version which leaves us kinda konfused? Back in Ol' Blighty, The Fall authored a rendition that seems to amplify the satirical elements of the original, but that's mostly seen in the video and not heard. Finally, Victoria's own The Hanson Brothers did the song and it travesties the Canadian city - if you've ever been to the Empress, your monocle might pop out when you hear these locals have to say! Lucky us!!!

This week, the final episode of the year, Tim and Joey place bets on things happening in 2026! Play along at home!

Love, Hypocrisy and a Rob Reiner Tribute It's the Friday episode and Marina Purkiss and Jemma Forte are running on festive fumes so prepare for rage, tears, laughs and a post Rob Reiner tribute snotty nose. It's a rollercoaster of an episode.The Trawl ladies start with the small lies we tell children (Father Christmas logistics remain shaky) before moving swiftly to Trump's grotesque response to tragedy which has sparked a proper reckoning and proves that the the late, great Rob Reiner was right about him all along.Jemma and Marina pay proper tribute to the wonderful movies he made and discuss why decency, humour and romance feel increasingly radical amidst the backdrop of modern politics.Then it's onto Trump's apparent desire to lead Europe (spoiler: Europe says absolutely not), before Jemma and Marina head back to Blighty where Reform UK continue their unstoppable streak of rank associations, racist dog whistles and jaw-dropping hypocrisy — from Bonnie Blue to Nigel Farage framing multilingual children as a “cultural threat”.They finish with a few glimmers of hope, and the usual much-needed palette cleansers, dad jokes and utter nonsense.Side effects may include sighing, eye-rolling, despair and the sudden urge to rewatch The Princess Bride and believe in true love all over again.Thank you for sharing and please do follow us @MarinaPurkiss @jemmaforte @TheTrawlPodcast Patreonhttps://patreon.com/TheTrawlPodcast Youtubehttps://www.youtube.com/@TheTrawl Twitterhttps://twitter.com/TheTrawlPodcastIf you've even mildly enjoyed The Trawl, you'll love the unfiltered, no-holds-barred extras from Jemma & Marina over on Patreon, including:• Exclusive episodes of The Trawl Goss – where Jemma and Marina spill backstage gossip, dive into their personal lives, and often forget the mic is on• Early access to The Trawl Meets…• Glorious ad-free episodesPlus, there's a bell-free community of over 3,300 legends sparking brilliant chat.And it's your way to support the pod which the ladies pour their hearts, souls (and occasional anxiety) into.

We discover how he arrived on the Somme battlefield during the final stages of this iconic battle, and was then awarded the Military Medal following an unknown attack in March 1917. We then follow his journey to the Passchendaele battlefield and onto the 1918 German Spring Offensive, where a “Blighty” wound ended his war. But what was the tragedy that Fred and his wife suffered during the 2nd World War?

They delve into recent positive political developments in the US, touching on gerrymandering and election outcomes. The conversation shifts to media reviews, particularly a critique of the show 'Son of a Donkey' and a discussion about the film 'The Long Walk', which explores dystopian themes and human relationships. The episode concludes with a humorous segment titled 'Am I the Karen?', where they analyze social dilemmas and personal anecdotes. In this episode, the hosts delve into various scenarios that challenge the boundaries of customer service and personal expectations. They discuss a hospital visit that turned frustrating due to long wait times, a cake order gone wrong, the complexities of emotional attachments to AI companions, and the ethics of writing reviews for services received. Each scenario raises questions about entitlement, patience, and the nature of customer service interactions, leading to a broader discussion on what it means to be a 'Karen' in today's society.

After 16 years away, husband and wife Liz and Brian have returned to old Blighty, England, for a three-month stay. Today, the couple reveal a few home truths, including misconceptions about England, how Britain compares to New Zealand, an in-your-face struggle they encountered at a café, and what they think will happen if their young adult children decide not to come home to New Zealand.  We know you'll love this episode.  At the end of this week's podcast, Liz also shares another reading from her soon-to-be-released book on grief, loss and healing. If you are struggling with any kind of loss, this book will help you. I will let you know as soon as it is available. Until then, know that our hearts beat with yours, and remember. There is so much you know. Kia Kaha, Liz and Brian x PS: If you haven't yet joined my inner circle of friends, my life-letter readers, thousands of trusted confidants, please do.

This week on The Trawl, Jemma and Marina wade through a global cesspit of power, propaganda and, quite literally, poo.From Donald Trump's unhinged AI fantasy, featuring himself as a crowned Top Gun pilot dropping actual sewage on protesters, to the real-life horror of leaked GOP group chats filled with racist bile, America is plumbing new depths. Meanwhile, back in Blighty, Tesco's being called out, M&S thinks it's Harrods, and the Palace is in a PR panic as Prince Andrew's name re-enters the headlines ahead of Virginia Giuffre's posthumous memoir.Thank goodness for characters like Zohran Mandami who aren't afraid to hold powerful men to account for their sleazy misdemeanours and indeed crimes.

This week, husband and wife, Brian and Liz, share their recent married life podcast shenanigans. Recently returned from their two-month summer in Greece, they have been in their beloved birthplace, Blighty, for 48 hours and have somehow managed to get ripped off. Twice. Not that Liz is bitter. No. As she reminds Brian many times, marriage isn't just about love and laughter and making podcasts about pigeons. It's about carrying the weight together. Honest... Thank you, as always, for being here with us. You are what makes this podcast so special. Yours, ripped off but still together and laughing, Liz and Brian. Husband and wife. x PS: If you haven't yet joined my inner circle of friends, my life-letter readers, please do. You will be the first person I share everything with. I'd love to have you.
