There's going to be a bonus release in the middle of this week so here's an omnibus to keep you going until then. Since partaking in the podcast - and, I'm sure, entirely as a result of doing so - our special guest Laurence Clark has written a comedy pilot that was aired on Dave recently and is now awaiting the green light for a series. Fingers crossed he gets one. It was called Perfect and featured Juliet Cowan from The Sarah Jane Adventures amongst others. Anyway, as ever the brief with this podcast is to try enjoying even one of Doctor Who's less celebrated stories. And, in this case, one that was actually visited by our guest who, it's fair to say, has gone on to greater things.

The charity, Sense, has made the unusual move of giving out cash directly to households who have a family member with complex disabilities and are struggling with the rising cost of living. Mum-of-two, Kelly, who has MS, tells Nikki Fox and Emma Tracey she and her family are already in debt and, right now spend half their income on energy. And comedian Laurence Clark talks about how the global pandemic finally gave him the time to do what he really loves - write. His debut sitcom, Perfect, is broadcast on Friday 26 August. Produced by Beth Rose, Keiligh Baker and Emma Tracey Recorded by Emma Crowe and mixed by James Beard The editors were Damon Rose and Jonathan Aspinwall
And so we get to the final episode of Terminus, which means only one thing .... that Laurence Clark and host Toby Hadoke have to choose two favourite things this time. So it doesn't mean one thing then... I means two. It's been a funny old trip but it's fascinating to re-explore one of Doctor Who's less discussed stories. But if you, in the course of your quest, choose the same thing as Laurence does for his bonus then we will be so surprised that we'll give you a million pounds*. (*We won't actually give you a million pounds). Toby is running 10k in May 2022 to raise money for medical aid and assistance for the people of Ukraine.

The only episode of this story your host Toby Hadoke got to see when it first went out, for reasons he will probably explain at enormous length. So does it have a special place in his heart? It certainly does - but robbed of that context what will podcast guest Laurence Clark and Toby highlight as the best thing on offer here? Is it the jokes, the pace, the action....? Um, no. But there's bound to be something, isn't there? Isn't there? Toby is running 10k in May 2022 to raise money for medical aid and assistance for the people of Ukraine.

Comedian, writer and disability campaigner Laurence Clark has chosen a much maligned Doctor Who story - is there much fun to be had amongst the ill and the grumpy? Of course there is - there's a fat dog man, Jarvick from Blake's 7 and some kinky boots. But will any of these things make it to his favourites list, or to that of your host Toby Hadoke?

This will surprise a few people. Someone chose Terminus? Yep, comedian Laurence Clark has fond memories of this story, for reasons he will explain in the episode. Unfortunately his memories aren't of watching the episodes go out, so he has a slightly different perspective from the rest of us. As for host Toby Hadoke - he's always had a soft spot for this story, but isn't sure if he actually likes it. So let's see what happens eh?

It’s 1942 and Laurence Clark is climbing into a plane, a Sunderland to be specific. He is part of the Air Force and has been selected to fly within the Australian Squadron, an elite few, flying in England during World War 11But what happens when the fighting stops and you head home after three years abroad? Well, you start working for Australia’s largest aviation company of course. @qantas hired Laurence just moments after his feet were planted firmly on home soil and he continued with them for over 37 years, flying around the world, being a test pilot in some of the worlds FIRST and most notable planes.Just late last year Qantas retired the Queen Of The Skies, the last @boeing 747 in a spectacular farewell flight out of Sydney to California where it was mothballed. The jumbo was extremely familiar to all of us and of course to Laurence - in fact he was one of the first pilots to ever fly a Boeing 747!!! ✈️And he shows us his logbook, clocking up tens of thousands of hours in the cockpit. But his most Notable flight was in 1971, the first flight out of Seattle to Deliver Qantas first Boeing 747 to the Kingsford Smith Airport in Sydney.In this podcast Laurence tells us of his time working alongside Freddy Fox a dear friend and captain. He tells us of growing up during the depression and his time in the war and flying around the world , oh and I forgot to mention ... Laurence had a stint flying for the royal family too.Without much further ado our podcast is now LIVE on Apple and Spotify
Former Blue Peter presenter and father to two-year-old twins Tim Vincent continues to host this comedy discussion programme, featuring regular panellists Mick Ferry and Russell Kane.Tim and The Likely Dads talk about how dads are represented, both in life and in the media. The conversation turns to some of the different stereotypes they've all heard, or even faced, and asks whether or not some of them are grossly outdated or might actually be accurate. One of our Likely Dads shares their experience of participating in a fly-on-the-wall documentary while raising a new-born baby and some of the comments they were faced with as a result. And what is the difference between being a single dad and a sole parent?In our regular feature, we ask one of the children of our Likely Dads a few questions and hear how accurately the respective Dad can guess their offspring's answers. Will it result in happy families or tears before bedtime?Our special guests joining Tim, Mick and Russell this week are anti-racism campaigner and businessman Dominic Bruce and comedian and playwright Laurence Clark.A Made In Manchester production for BBC Radio 4 and BBC Sounds
Being a parent is hard, but when you're disabled it can come with its own unique set of challenges and advantages. From the mum who insisted on building an accessible house extension so her husband had to do night-duties, to the visit to A&E with a child who had jammed his leg a wheelchair spoke after using it as a climbing frame. Three disabled dads on the comedy circuit - Chris McCausland, Steve Day and Laurence Clark - take over the BBC Ouch podcast to talk parenting skills, wins and fails. Produced by Emma Tracey.

The Abnormally Funny People show is back from our month long run at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Steve Day and Laurence Clark, two of the comedians who performed on our show, pop in to the studio to give an insider’s guide to performing at the Fringe. It's a comedy bromance love-in. We talk about it all: the shows that went well and the ones that didn't. The challenge of getting punters in, and the unique experience of a lot of disabled people sharing a flat. How the 'token' non-disabled acts managed our patronising of them. Oh, and the stupidity of doing live improvisation with people who can't hear, can't speak or can't help but talk. We are not the three wise monkeys.
A warning: this show contains some swearing. It's October 2014 and we're speaking with #comedian Laurence Clark and Jess Thom from Touretteshero. We chat about doing impressions of #disabled people, breaking an egg when you have random motion control, cycling on a child’s tricycle when you’re in your forties and why dignity can be overrated. We review two products, a humane spider catcher and egg cracker. Hosts Steve Best and Simon Minty talk about how it feels to be left out if you’re the one who isn’t disabled and the difference between waving and drowning. At the end we delve a little deeper when Jess talks about the going to the theatre and the rest of the audience don’t know how to relax. #disability #comedy #standup Links: Laurence’s blog when Jess came to see his show http://www.wow247.co.uk/blog/2014/08/10/laurence-clark-my-best-gig-ever/ http://www.laurenceclark.co.uk http://www.touretteshero.com
"We used head pointer gadgets before you ever did", Laurence Clark's Edinburgh Fringe show and The Kids of Widney High are our unsigned musicians. Mat Fraser and Liz Carr present.
This month's show is a very special festive extravaganza recorded in front of a live studio audience at the BBC Radio Theatre in London. Liz Carr is the strict question mistress as two teams take part in a disability-themed quiz. Joining Mat Fraser on his team is deaf comedian Steve Day, and they take on Laurence Clark and actress Julie Fernandez. Plus, piano genius and 'human iPod' Derek Paravicini accompanies some carol singalongs, roving Rob Crossan meets members of the audience, and Mat gives the first ever performance of the Ouch Christmas single, 'Cripples at Christmas'.
Liz Carr is joined by guest presenter Laurence Clark in a show featuring Holly Lane's reports from the Liberty disability rights festival in London's Trafalgar Square, a discussion about disability parenting with Jacqui Jackson and Yuen Har Tse, another round of the Podcast favourite Vegetable, Vegetable or Vegetable (with Laurence reading the rules very fast!), music from 'Aussie autie' Donna Williams - and Rob Crossan looking for lurve.
