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

Danny Dyer is a wazzok. A massive one.
Is there a song in it?
Good point! Will edit.
I heard an interview with Jim’ll once after it was alleged he hated kids. He said this, I paraphrase, ‘I don’t hate kids, but it’s good to give the impression you do because it prevents other sorts of rumour mongering.’ I met him when I was 7 after seeing a ‘Jim’ll’ at the TV studios. He’s all right by me (hung like a baboon)
…actually that quote may have come from that brilliant Louis Theroux doc on him
Hello!

For reasons that I won’t go into, I have been following this blog post for a while…

Good grief…
Cheers guys, I’ve applied for a job in Leeds -now I know it stinks I’m not sure I want it any more.
oh-Dutch Oven, it’s a sort of crock-pot thing that you stick hot rocks on -really good for ribs, and barely any farty smell at all!
It still amazes me that people listen so closely to this shit – heartwarming but baffling.
That’s because it isn’t SH….
So what is up for next week guys? Good podcast, I was laughing most of the time.
Number 90 with a bullet, guys ‘n’ gals!
How’s about that then?!
Where do you stand on Andy Kershaw?
His head.
Is everyone dead?
I definitely am, Nappers. Are you?
I think maybe everyone is just mentally preparing themselves THE EXECUTION OF GARY GLITTER tonight on 4.
He definitely did it.
Allegedly.
I’m preparing myself for a gig tonight.
Gary Glitter tribute band?
I’m a bit worse for wear, Mel. As I’ve been discussing with my nemesis, Piqued (via e-mail, no less), I had a poor quality Italian meal last night and it’s given me a dicky belly.
oh dear, NC, I am sorry to hear that. I am a bit worse for wear today, but that is entirely of my own making. I am supposed to be pitching something to the BBC today as well. Oops.
Out on the sauce, were you? I had a couple of beers over a game of Scrabble with the missus at our local pu … FUCK! I’M THE ELDERLY!
NPA!
yup, an ill-advised boozy dinner at a friend’s house. ON A SCHOOL NIGHT. tsk.
Shame on you, Mel.
