Now then! Now then?
It’s Podcast time again, WWMers! We abandoned the notion of a conceptual ‘cast revolving around the topic of violence in favour of something more traditional. That’s right! An entire podcast devoted to the King of light entertainment – Mr Jimmy Saville!
Whilst discussing the great man’s early life, radio career and decades of appearing on the box, we also manage to call him, at different points in the recording:
- A king
- The inventor of disc jockeying
- A minor war hero
- A coward
- A dinosaur
- A bastard
Not only that – there’s also time for a song, with musical accompaniment from the multi-instrumental Nick Tann!
With such a varied approach to the life of a living legend – it’s no wonder we’re currently in the iTunes top 90 comedy podcasts. At number 90. Until tomorrow, when we’ll probably slip back out again. Have a listen if you enjoy grown men discussing:
- Wasps! (again)
- The most important electrical appliances
- Nye Bevan
- The pros and cons of every Radio 1 DJ ever
- Linda Lusardi
- The thickness of Englebert Humperdink’s sideburns

Friday Night TV wouldn’t be the same without Jonathan Ross.
It might go mercifully faster.

Have you been watching the current series of Nevermind The Buzzcocks, which is halfway through its run on BBC2? Have you noticed how, in the manner of Have I Got News For You, they’ve managed to spice the gags and tweak the dynamic so that the presenter is close to arbitrary?
