Jekyll and Hyde on Film (1912-2017)

S3E3 New kind of episode today as Adam and Ash watch a tonne of clips from Jekyll and Hyde movies, each depicting a transformation scene of some kind, beginning with the silent movies of the 1910's and ending in the modern day. Apologies - we lost Adam's mic sometime in the 1990's, and funnily enough from then on he sounds as if he was calling from around then.  Title Music: 'Not Drunk' by The Joy Drops.

James Patterson Bingo Part 4

S2E43 Not, as referenced, "a new series" - we thought we'd drop this one a bit sooner as it was recorded in earlier, happier times and sounds more dated by the day. Doesn't stop it being a non-stop thrill-less ride of baffling blandness from the master.  Title Music: 'Not Drunk' by The Joy Drops.
