I år er det femti år siden Monty Python and the Holy Grail kom på kino, og det er femti år siden humorserien Hotell i særklasse for første gang ble vist på BBC. Kulturjournalist Elise Dybvig har vært på Folketeateret i Oslo for å se den 85 år gamle britiske komikerlegenden John Cleese i levende live. Det var en ganske tragisk affære. Det var også en påminnelse om at det fantes en tid da man i en vanlig samtale kunne si at man foretrakk «britisk humor». En kikk på dagens strømmetjenester gir derimot inntrykk av at britene har sluttet å lage humor. Er det – som med alt annet – brexit som har skylden?Britiske humorprogram nevnt i episoden:Peep Show (2003-2015)Monty Python's Flying Circus (1969-1973)Fleabag (2016-2019)This Country (2017-2020)Alan Partridge, figuren spilt av skuespiller Steve Coogan i film, tv-serier og podkast.Aksels anbefaling: Hørespillene De dödas röster og Exorcismen i Eksjö på Sveriges Radio Hosted on Acast.

This week we welcome back our beloved host, Flick Ford! Joined by guests Thomas Caldwell and Cerise Howard.We review Levan Akin's deeply touching film Crossing, about a retired teacher searching for her estranged niece, a trans woman, with the help of a young man as her translator. It raises challenging issues – particularly around people whose identity has meant they have been isolated from family – and yet it is such a warm, inviting film.Then we compare Stanley Kubrick's frighteningly hilarious Dr. Stranglove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb with its filmed theatrical adaptation from London's National Theatre, NT Live: Dr. Strangelove. In the latter, Steve Coogan plays four roles in the world premiere stage adaptation of Stanley Kubrick's comedy masterpiece, often described as the best political satire of the century, about a rogue U.S. General who triggers a nuclear attack.Triple R's April Amnesty is on now!Subscribe and donate to help keep our beloved community radio station on the airwaves for another year!When you support Triple R, you're supporting Really Real Radio – that means no algorithms, no playlists, no nonsense.

Click here to try it out!Welcome back to Bad Dads Film Review, where this week we lock, stock, and double-tap our way into the gloriously over-the-top world of Hot Fuzz (2007), the second film in Edgar Wright's beloved Cornetto Trilogy. With an outrageous body count and a razor-sharp script, it's a love letter to action movies — by way of twee English village life.Directed by Edgar Wright and written by Wright and Simon Pegg, Hot Fuzz stars Simon Pegg as Nicholas Angel, a no-nonsense London supercop who's so good at his job that he's making everyone else look bad. As a result, he's reassigned to the sleepy village of Sandford, where crime seems suspiciously low — and the residents suspiciously Stepford.Teamed up with the bumbling but big-hearted PC Danny Butterman (Nick Frost), Angel initially struggles with Sandford's slower pace — until a series of grisly “accidents” reveals something darker lurking beneath the surface. Cue a rampage of pensioners, hidden agendas, and a spectacular finale with more gunfire than the M25 at rush hour.This is one we could all agree on: Hot Fuzz is a near-perfect comedy that rewards repeat viewings. It's cleverly constructed, endlessly quotable (“The greater good!”), and absolutely packed with details that make it a joy to dissect. Whether you're a fan of action movies, British humour, or seeing Timothy Dalton with a smug smile and a hedge trimmer, there's something here for you.Hot Fuzz takes the quiet menace of rural England and sets it ablaze with blockbuster spectacle and sharp comedy. It's both homage and original, firing on all cylinders from start to finish. If you like your action with a side of Bakewell tart and local shop for local people energy, this one's a must-watch.

James Cameron-Wilson says UK box office is up 83% YoY. He recommends three films in the chart. Ryan Coogler's Sinners at #2 is an outstanding piece of filmmaking which defies caegorisation but brings to mind Tarantino. It's a powerful, sensual and immersive experience that stays with you. #3 The Penguin Lessons isn't the feelgood family film you might expect but a wise, charming and funny political thriller starring Steve Coogan set in 1970s Argentina. At #5 Alex Gardland's Warfare aims to be the most realistic war film ever and succeeds. It's a terrific film but harrowing. On Amazon Prime Holland, with Nicole Kidman, tries to be a comedic black thriller like Fargo but doesn't quite work. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Can you believe that for half a century student bars the length and breadth of the land have resounded to the excruciating cries of "Nii!"? Yes, the film the Spanish call 'The Knights of the Square Table and Their Crazy Followers' turns 50 and to mark the occasion here's a bonus episode with Tyler and writer, podcaster & performer Tom Salinsky in which they talk at length about the film. Tom thinks that Life of Brian has more to say but Monty Python and the Holy Grail is the most consistently funny of their films, with barely a moment left gagless, from the inspired opening titles to the demonic camp of Tim the Enchanter. They discuss highlights such as the cartoonish violence of the King Arthur vs Black Knight sequence; Brave Sir Robin and his minstrel Neil Innes; Gilliam the gatekeeper of the Bridge of Death (later rented out to William Friedkin for Sorcerer?); Dennis the mud-ridden firebrand decrying systems of government; Carole Cleveland as Zoot, Mistress of Castle Anthrax; the weakly insipid Prince Herbert and his overbearing dad; the witch trial; Brother Maynard and the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch and, of course, Frank the TV historian who suffers a violent slaying.Tom also talks of his love for the LP and compares the film to the script book – whither Brian the Wild from the final cut? – and reveals that parts of the original script were later repurposed for the fourth series of Monty Python. He also touches on Spamalot and springing from that there's an interesting overview of the recent Dr Strangelove production starring Steve Coogan.Also: the coconuts for horses gag – A Show Called Fred got there first!

You probably think of a hammock as that flimsy sheet of cloth you string between two trees. The thing that when you get in it you either look lazy and pretentious or you simply flip over and fall to the ground losing what little dignity you have. Well, this is hammock season in show business. It's the time between the big holiday blockbusters and the big summer action movie blockbusters. Judging by the most recent box-office results people are wise to this and very few people are venturing out to the theaters right now. Maybe they're streaming, who really knows? Nonetheless, we've had a look at some of your entertainment options. We start with "The Studio" which follows a legacy Hollywood movie studio striving to survive in a world where it is increasingly difficult for art and business to live together.So it goes and hires someone played by Seth Rogen. We've all seen it and we'll let you know if it's worth your time, Then there's the controversial live action version of "Snow White" starring Rachel Zegler and Gal Gadot. Way too much has been written about it but Bill Bregoli actually ventured out to see it. He's the only one of us brave enough. Bill McCuddy tells us about "Thank You Very Much," which is a documentary about performance artist and "song and dance man" Andy Kaufman. Neil Rosen, who likes to follow around people who wear tuxedos, tells us about "The Penguin Lessons" and his conversation with star Steve Coogan. For spy movie fans we have "Black Bag" from director Stephen Soderbergh which stars Michael Fassbender and Cate Blanchett. For streaming folks there's "Toxic Town" which is based on a true story and stars Jodie Whittaker and Aime Lou Wood. Aimee is also in the current season of "White Lotus" so naturally we drift off into a conversation about that. We also talk about a controversy surrounding Johnny Carson's couch and Bill M tells us about his conversation with Alec Baldwin. So even if none of what Hollywood is offering right now interests you at least you've got us to listen to.

But as the city spirals into crisis, and his students remain unteachable, Tom's life takes an unexpected turn when he rescues an oil-slicked penguin from a nearby beach. The bird's surprising loyalty and unique presence forces Tom to confront his own repressed past and awaken to the responsibilities of both personal and political change.

When Trevor Birney was arrested by the PSNI in 2018, he was thrown in a police cell and told an incredible tale. His documentary No Stone Unturned had named the man many believed was responsible for the Loughinisland Massacre in 1994. Birney was told by the police that this man's business was being damaged by the documentary and for this reason they could charge him with breaching the Official Secrets Act. On Free State today, Trevor Birney tells the story of how he fought the law and won. He talks too about the day a brave former tabloid journalist from London told him he had seen the future and its name was Kneecap.

Nick and Angela welcome their first guest of series 7 to Dish HQ. Legendary actor, comedian, writer and producer Steve Coogan was born in Lancashire. His career began on Spitting Image in the 80s, and he is most celebrated for his portrayal of the iconic Alan Partridge. He has earned critical acclaim for roles in Philomena, Stan & Ollie and The Reckoning, in which he played Jimmy Savile, and is back on the West End stage after a 28-year hiatus for a sold-out run of Dr Strangelove. His new Channel 4 drama, Brian and Maggie, is out now. Nick mixes a non-alcoholic Mother Root for Steve, while Angela prepares one his favourite meals, a potato, cheese & onion pie. The experts at Waitrose pair this with a Le Arenarie Vermentino di Gallura. For dessert, our trio tuck into a rhubarb & pear crumble.

Searching for the Truth on Political TV – which has now been adapted into a two part dramatisation, Brian and Maggie, starring Steve Coogan and Harriet Walter.
