In deze aflevering hebben we het over nogal opvallende energie-vergelijkingen van marktwaakhond ACM. En over hoe we hier nú al slachtoffer worden van de Amerikaanse heffingen, met een duurdere PS5.Verder in de Bright Podcast: de zelfhandelende thuisbatterij levert nu al minder op dan voorheen, mogen we van Microsoft een bepaald mapje niet verwijderen en heeft Tim Cook een nieuwe obsessie.Sponsor:Krijg 60 procent korting op een abonnement op Incogni, een dienst die je online-privacy verbetert. Incogni laat jouw gegevens verwijderen bij datahandelaren. Ga naar: incogni.com/brightTips uit deze aflevering:Serie: The Last of Us S2 is begonnen, op HBO. Ook de officiële podcast is weer fijn, met Troy Baker als host: de stemacteur die in de games de rol van Joel speelt. Hij praat in de eerste aflevering met maker van de games Neil Druckmann en maker van de serie Craig Mazin.Vacature: EasyPark zoekt nieuwe PR-manager. Ga er maar aan staan, na het nieuws van onlangs.Serie: Last One Laughing UK op Amazon Prime Video. Zelfde opzet als in Nederland: 10 comedians moeten het zes uur met elkaar volhouden zonder te lachen. Wie twee keer lacht is af. De Britse cast kent een paar best bekende comedians, waaronder droogkloot Richard Ayoade en ouwe rot Bob Mortimer. Leuk voor wie de Britse comedy een beetje volgt maar sowieso grappig. Ook leuk om de verschillen te zien: de Nederlandse acts zijn sterker, maar de Britse versie heeft een paar leuke maar gemene spelletjes. De presentatie is in handen van Jimmy Carr.Zie het privacybeleid op https://art19.com/privacy en de privacyverklaring van Californië op https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this episode we welcome Fast Show legend Simon Day to downtown Hammersmith and ask him about his musical passions and the immortal Life Of Rock With Brian Pern. We start with our guest's misspent youth in south-east London, where he frequently saw bands such as Dr. Feelgood and local lads Squeeze and even fronted his own punk combo Simon & the Virgins.

After a brief mention of featured writer Dorian Lynskey and his new book Everything Must Go, Mark quotes from newly-added library pieces about Mötley Crüe's Nikki Sixx and Beatles hairdresser Leslie Cavendish before Jasper talks us out with his thoughts on M. People's Heather Small and a particularly cantankerous Van Morrison. Many thanks to special guest Simon Day.

Welcome to a bonus episode of Tired and Tested! Join Sophie as she delves into her dusty old box to discover a nostalgic gem from her youth. This week, she remembers MSN Messenger. Listen up for a brush with Bob Mortimer and an unfortunate incident with a sugared almond Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Tom Sutcliffe talks to director Ridley Scott about his new film Napoleon - a subject that takes him back to an actor who's played an emperor for him before – Joaquin Phoenix was Commodus in Gladiator – and back to the period in which his very first film. The Duellists was set. A fifth of the seats at the Royal Albert Hall are owned by just over 300 people - who can choose to enjoy performances or sell the tickets on at a profit. We hear from Richard Lyttelton, a former President of the Royal Albert Hall who believes that making money out of the seats doesn't really align with the original vision of the venue. A Gloucester Old Spot pig has been named The Satsuma Complex - in honour of comedian Bob Mortimer's first book, which has won this year's Bollinger Everyman Wodehouse prize for the best comic novel. He's joined by fellow comedian and member of the judging panel Pippa Evans to explore what makes fiction funny.

He's the star of the iconic Little Britain, Bridesmaids, Come Fly With Me and soon to be seen on the big screen in Wonka. This week we have the one and only Matt Lucas joining us for dinner. Matt has recently written his first children's book and with all his wonderful stories from growing up you can see where all the inspiration comes from! We discovered that he was given his first big break by Bob Mortimer, he's notorious for his very own Chicken Soup recipe (which takes him 36 hours!), his first flat deposit was paid for by a Creme Egg advert and the story of the real life 'Marjorie Dawes' from Weight Watchers is fabulous. Matt, next time you come round we promise to have a Viennetta on ice for you, but you've gotta bring the soup! Matt's children's musical novel ‘The Boy Who Slept Through Christmas' is out now.

"Ribs and Pipes and Penises (oh my!)" Our voyage of re-disc-overy continues, as we tackle a most unusual release; the one that was out in the US before the UK, and that Young Cappsy managed to review before Young Ian for once. We rake over this bitterness as well as embarking on not one, not two, but three commentaries, forgoing the tradition of focusing on one big extra in favour of covering a handful of little bitty ones, the regular features that would otherwise be glossed over. Once again, we ensure that every single aspect of the release is discussed, and along the way we re-evaluate Hattie Hayridge's return to the role of Holly, try to get to the bottom of why the cast commentaries are so difficult to get through, and attempt to comprehensively solve the issues of both war and racism.Show notes Contemporary reviews from Cappsy, Ian and Ian again. Series IV Deleted Scenes commentary (2013) TOS article (via The Unofficial Archive) on stock footage in Red Dwarf The Smeg Ups Rough Cut The history of feral parakeets in Great Britain Sexual assault of men played for laughs Vic Reeves and The Wonder Stuff (and Bob Mortimer) perform Dizzy on Top of the Pops Can't Smeg Won't Smeg commentary (2011) Pip Madeley's remastered trailers The TV watershed was introduced in 1964, just twenty odd years earlier than we guessed during the discussion

For all of its faults, the one thing you can say about Crime Boss: Rockay City is that Vanilla Ice is in it. Which reminded us of a thing that happened a while back: it was called "the nineties", and it had loads of good stuff, like the Amiga, Fido Dido, and Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. But the nineties were a great time for personalities. Snoop Dogg. Pamela Anderson. Tony Blair. Loads of them. Chyna from the wrestling. The Churchill insurance dog. Bob Mortimer. I could go on. But it was a long decade and there were literally billions of people involved (George Clooney, there's another one). The question we're asking today is: what is the best video game that features a 90s star? As ever, the game is in how you interpret the question. To find out which game (and 90s Sleb) gets inducted into the VG247 Hall of Fame, you'll have to listen to our podcast. Luckily for you, this is it here. Just FYI, not a single person said Rise of the Tomb Raider, which would obviously have been the winning choice, given that it's excellent, features possibly the most 90s star imaginable in Lara Croft, and represents a late 20th century new-media fusion of art and personality the likes of which we had never experienced before, but nowadays we have vtubers and Damon Albarn pretending to be a cartoon, so.

Sign up for the bookmark newsletter here Welcome to 2023 and to 'season two' of Steph's Business Bookshelf. ICYMI, this year I'm experimenting with a slightly different style of episode, featuring reviews of what I read over the last month. There'll still be occasional 'three big idea' episodes popping up throughout the year, and the four years and 197 other book based episodes will still be in the back catalogue to be enjoyed.  January is always a more book-heavy month, and this one was no exception. This month I'm talking about... And Away by Bob Mortimer (audiobook) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Waffle On about Vic Reeves & Bob Mortimer Hello and welcome to our Christmas edition and its a bumper bonus episode full of fun and Waffles. On this episode Meds and Kell chat away about two of their favourite comedians (and light entertainers) Vic and Bob. They hit our screens back in the late 80's and our two Wafflers were in sixth form at school at the time (and nothing seems to have changed in their childish minds) so it left a lasting impression.  Along with the main topic of chat the lads talk about the new Avatar film, some recent movie news and they read an email from our resident man in the asylum Rob K.  Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you all. 

I interview Brian Bilston and discuss his latest book “Days Like These”. I also review “The Satsuma Complex” by Bob Mortimer, “Maureen Fry & The Angel Of The North” by Rachel Joyce, “Rock Paper Scissors” by Alice Feeney and “Affinity” by Sarah Waters. Hosted on Acast.

We enter on the boiz discussing Vic Reeves and Bob Mortimer's iconic BBC panel show Shooting Stars, a program that introduced the world to Matt Lucas and Mark Lamarr. While trying to keep their heads above water, Tim and Guy are informed of the exciting future of Mattress Pikelet King's 'And Just Like That' series and the fact that Paul Blart Mall Cop 2's Neil McDonough is on TikTok now. The pair (Tim and Guy, not Neil and TikTok) have been working on spelling and porn respectively and gently guide any interested parties to a live show in Auckland to celebrate the success of the Did Titanic Sink?

#410 Saggy-Faced Satsuma - Richard has narrowly avoided a dinosaur based disaster, but never mind because a RHLSTP favourite is returning - the incomparable Bob Mortimer. They talk about holding dominion over the animals, whether questions are necessary in an interview, what prompted Bob to write his first novel and whether satsumas are the best small orange fruit, the adoration for Bob and Paul that the team behind Gone Fishing clearly have, why a double act of two nice men works, what it's like being below average height, aspiring to watch TV, the treatment centre for phone addiction and how to take down coniferous trees. Also how many Bob Mortimers might there be out there and why his book imagines an alternate world for him?Bob has also brought along his joke book for emergencies.Buy Bob's excellent book here - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Audible-The-Satsuma-Complex/dp/B0B5YBZP5JSUPPORT THE SHOW!Watch our TWITCH CHANNELSee extra content at our WEBSITESee details of the RHLSTP TOUR DATES Become a member at https://plus.acast.com/s/rhlstp.
