Who would have thought, faced with the daunting prospect of a WHOLE podcast devoted to Mr Entertainment, Bruce Forsyth, we’d ever have found anything to talk about?
Somehow, we managed it – and if you listen to this podcast be assured you’ll be able to fill in any gaps in your friend’s (singular) knowledge regarding the big-chinned wonder should they have any Forsyth-queries.
We cover the tap-dancing maniac’s entire career in nit-picking detail and, whilst we’re on the Brucie cruise, take some time to take in related items of interest… SUCH AS:
- The scenario in which Michael Caine found love
- A structural analysis of Tess Daley
- Whether or not podcasts should feature midi-ambles
- What we had for lunch
It’s all below, but if you’ve got any sense, you’ll go straight to iTunes to SUBSCRIBE!
Or if you’re feeling difficult, you’ll want this direct link, you swines.

What happened to “I’m your biggest fan” James eh?
What happened to “You’re my inspiration”?
You Canadians are so fucking fickle…
Nick – He listened to us and realised you’re a big pile of shit.
I am a big fan of Nick first, but since he isn’t doing anymore podcasts I figured he wouldn’t get jealous about the podcast voting thingy. Clearly I am now in an abusive online podcast relationship!
Um, hello all. Has anyone noticed that WWM and particularly the podcast is featured in today’s Guardian guide? Hmmm…? Thought not. You all really should read more printed stuff now and again… Well done to the podcast team though.
I still love you Nick, I’ve illegally downloaded all your music.
I noticed Watch With Mothers was in the Guardian guide, Mike. I noticed it right after that Guardian-reading, liberal BASTARD Swineshead sent me a text message telling me it was in there. Haven’t read it, mind. I wouldn’t have that socialist shit in my house.
BRING BACK MAGGIE THATCHER!
I never said I wasn’t going to podcast anymore.
You started this abusive side to our relationship, a relationship built on YOUR LIES.
Mike, does it mention the jingle of mine that Napoleon “I never listen to podcasts” ripped of?
*off
What jingle have I ripped off? Having never heard your podcast, I don’t see how that’s possible.
You bummer.
Who ripped off a jingle?
We’ve had a nice bit of coverage, golden toilets are almost within reach and immediately we descend into furious bickering. It’s disappointing, really it is.
I ripped off a jingle, allegedly. I don’t see how, but I did (apparently). Must have been after I didn’t listen to one of Nick’s podcasts.
THIS SICKENS ME.
My gut told me not to mention it, should have listened to old gutty.
Forget I ever mention it and order the gold toilet……
Wow this is really interesting. Where’s Jerry Springer when you need it. *gets attacked by cross dressing - hermaphrodite - drag queen midget (little person)*
So here is the article in question.
If you are adverse to rude men shouting about the brilliance of Traffic Cops (”or any documentary series with the word cops in it narrated by Jamie Theakston”), then Watch With Mothers’ popular podcast is worth avoiding. A relatively smaller number will find its accompanying website disagreeable. It includes lengthy previews of new shows (together with some healthy jousting in the comments) alongside a list of TV’s “least bearable personalities” and regular features such as Newsgush, the Friday Question and Just A Thought, which expertly notes panel show punchline cliches (ie the use of the suffix “on crack” to enhance a comparison).

WTF does he know anyway. First he calls it popular, then says you better avoid it. He’s on crack!

Who is Johnny Dee?
Possibly Greg Hard? Should I leave this alone? Has this publicity brought you guys more visits? downloads? listens?
Ha Nick, that’s the best. But we don’t sound like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sv9hOH2vAuM&feature=PlayList&p=D9FD8E7718377189&playnext=1&playnext_from=PL&index=74
*arrives at party late*
WOWEE! That’s brilliant. Well done Swines and Naps and Piqued.
*claps*
Will we have to go all la-de-da now we’ve been in The Guardian?
Huzzah! My first mention – even though Naps said I was mad.
*counts germs*
No that was actually a very bad review. It shall become the review that will not be mentioned (which I can see will probably be in your next podcast). So I can’t wait to hear what you have to say about it. On a lighter note, the other night I was at work taking apart a print for the movie 9. I made a slight error and the whole print went flying off the table…. It was pretty late in the night, and I had great fun trying to put it all back in it’s original form.
You ARE mad, Clarry. Barking bloody mad.
And where’s your mother gone? I moved house, and when I got back on this here internet she’d disappeared.
Dunno Nap – I tell you she is a mysterious woman, that mother of mine.
*resumes counting germs*
P.S Riveting anecdote there
I’d say James’s anecdote is up there in my top ten favourite anecdotes of all time.
Why was it a bad review? I think it was a comically grudging recommendation.
It didn’t strike me as a bad review.
Or a review, for that matter.
No, I agree – it was just a mention. And we’ve jumped back into the iTunes comedy chart at 49 on the strength of it, which is a turn up. Shame it had to be on the occasion of the Brucie episode which saw us trundle into areas of such dubious comedy I was almost in tears of pain when I listened back to it.
Dubious comedy?
I think it was kind of a bad review. And since I have never been reviewed I guess I can’t comment on it. SO I am going now but last Podcast was great. The end was funny.
Actually a first WWM is alive and well on a Sunday. Is this our new Church?
Well – maybe not dubious. Ropey.
I have really itchy balls.
(One for the Guardian readers visiting the site for the first time)
I think that is a brilliant review! He refers to all knows all the elements of the site “Friday question” “News Gush” etc as well as the contents of a few of the pod-casts. If he thought it was crap , he wouldn’t have mentioned it at all!
When shall we start the jousting?
Coo. That is all.
Give our gig a definite miss
Who the hell does Jeff Dreadnought think he is
*Pops in VERY late*
I have had Nappers’ internet afflicctions this weekend.
I especially liked this bit of the review ‘It includes lengthy previews of new shows (together with some healthy jousting in the comments)’
Well done guys!
