Runaround/Family Fortunes | The Peggy Mount Calamity Hour The energetic arrival of our eponymous hosts Doctor Velvet and Blackout is heralded this week amidst chaotic, trauma inducing cacophony, extraneous luminosity and (to adopt the apt regional parlance), some bang-on Callard and Bowsers, courtesy of Mr Michael Reid and his Runaround programme. After enjoying a harmonious recital by pop quartet The Jags, we move swiftly onward to prime time entertainment that tests the genius of the genes where the Killeen and Price families contend with each other in the inaugural episode of Family Fortunes hosted by Mr Robert Monkhouse O.B.E. Have you ever wanted to learn about the mechanical intricacies of a three-wheeled Lambretta fire engine? Or perhaps you’ve wished to immerse yourself in the subtle nuances of silhouette portrait creation? What dish is associated with Spain? Why don’t ATV acknowledge the geographical existence of Welsh towns?

Grange Hill/The Gaffer | The Peggy Mount Calamity Hour Ever keen to show willing and set a tentative foot outside of what their therapist tag-team refers to as a 'comfort zone', the hosts of The Peggy Mount Calamity Hour bite the bullet and wade into the unmitigated squalor of vintage televisual entertainment, pegs on noses and smelling salts at hand.The first stop on this week's voyage of absolute judgement is Grange Hill comprehensive, where the curriculum appears to be taking second place to evening-jobs, underage drinking and non-sterile medical facilities (yes, it's THAT episode). Then it's a foray into grotty working life under the auspices of Wilberforce Maynard as The Gaffer, at which point it appears that alienating friends and developing a near-lethal narcotics habit actually had more laughs after all...How many other podcasts start laying into sitcom continuity before the programme has even started properly? How many other presenters eschew All The Issues to fixate on Greater London bus routes of 30+ years ago and moshing to Status Quo? How many times does one have to Just Say No?There's one way to find out, and it involves Just Pressing Play...

Knightmare/QED-The Peggy Mount Calamity Hour What a ride it's been, you lovely lot, as The Peggy Mount Calamity Hour has stopped off at each year of the 1980s to sample memory-stirring merriments and televisual treats. And there's one more riddling foray to be had before we pull the curtain and hope the theatre doesn't inexplicably catch fire... This week it's 1989 and THE FUTURE™ of immersive gaming is in its absolute prime as we don a horned helmet and stumble around an empty room while our friends enjoy themselves in Knightmare. Any danger is all virtual of course, so safe in that knowledge we relax to put the kettle on and watch a bit of telly. And it's getting a bit stuffy in here, so we'll see if we can make it as far as opening the window before suffering A Case Of Spontaneous Human Combustion. Is Gavin Gillespie's brand of bawdy, working-class rhetoric really suitable for Friday afternoon sword-and-sorcery broadcasting when there are children watching? How many scientists arguing over the possibility of involuntary auto-incineration would it have taken to assuage the permanently-on flammability fears of three youngsters in the 1980s? And for the last ruddy time, does anybody want an apple? Take one step forward, and find out... The Peggy Mount Calamity Hour is a free podcast from iPorle Media, which holds production copyright.

Transformers/The Larkins | The Peggy Mount Calamity Hour It's early mornings and late nights this week on The Peggy Mount Calamity Hour, as our hosts test the theory that the greatest things arrive at either end of a day's scheduling.The first stop on today's televisual trek comes hiding in plain sight, as TVAM's premiere episode of The Transformers comes in for some arch reminiscence and critical scrutiny. And later, what better way to round off a long week than with Peggy Mount boldly waving the flag for sitcoms still to come, as we meet The Larkins?Have we voyaged far enough across the galaxy for a being shaped remarkably like a re-arranged Freightliner FL86 to finally fit in? Have we travelled far enough back in time to find A Farce™ that Doctor Velvet can stomach?

Wizbit/Odd One Out | The Peggy Mount Calamity Hour Episode on Amazon Music Ever keen to test the contemporary legitimacy of old idioms, The Peggy Mount Calamity Hour has noted that while good things may come in small packages, it does not stand to reason that all small packages are good. And there are few things smaller and with more questionable good-ness than the subject of this week's podcast... In a Daniels-centric outing, Doctor Velvet and Blackout are joined by Ozzy Bognops to cast a critical eye over the seminal children's fantasy series Wizbit, before ramping up the tension with a nail-biting edition of the prime time quiz show Odd One Out. How many excuses can three people give for watching programmes which really are not aimed at them? How many questions does Michael want to get right before he gives someone else a chance to play the ruddy game? And how many other podcasts do you know that would cover a Paul Daniels double-bill where neither of those is his magic show? It's fingers on Play Buttons and first to find out wins...

Spider-Man And His Amazing Friends/Slinger's Day-The Peggy Mount Calamity Hour In this week's friendly, neighbourhood episode we find Messrs Velvet and Blackout ambling in the aisles whilst speculating on the sartorial protocols of a University costume party in Upper State New York, and the flaws and truisms of a decidedly languorous machiavellian scheme pitted against Spider-Man and his Amazing Friends. After a tentative rummage through the 'Bargain Bin', the topic turns to riotous retail mirth in the form of 80s supermarket sitcom Slinger's Day which is thoroughly checked-out. Could a thirty-something Peter Parker web Slinger? Should a thirty-something Peter Parker web Slinger? Is Vicky Licorish as sweet as she sounds? More importantly, can Blackout locate a quality item of sitcom nostalgia? Onward... The Peggy Mount Calamity Hour is a free podcast from iPorle Media, which holds production copyright.

Buck Rogers in the 25th Century/Duty Free-The Peggy Mount Calamity Hour It's all go round at MountPeg Towers as Doctor Velvet and Blackout limber up to slip in a quick one before Christmas (quiet at the back), and end up rolling out the welcome mat for Simon and Ken from The Exton Moss Experiment podcast. Because what could be more self indulgent than two middle-aged men mulling over the slightly bitter taste of eighties reminiscence, than doubling that up for a foursome? (really, keep it down) First up, the boys are out of this world in excitement over Buck Rogers' 25th Century romp on the Planet Of The Amazon Women, before coming right back down to earth (and hard) with some Duty Free as the San Remo Hotel gets a bit of extra oomph when a famous - and flirty - guest arrives. All of this might sound sexy, but unfortunately the only sauce on offer here is the hard liquor (some of it positively medicinal) required to sit through it all. Is there a German word for that feeling when the future looks way cheaper than the present when it's filmed in the past? Is there a Spanish word for the year-on-year diminishing returns of a massively successful but oddly era-specific sitcom? And is there any word at all for the incandescent umbrage one feels at being the only person in the room to have actively enjoyed what everyone's just sat through? The play-button will reveal all...

Dramarama/Arthur C Clarke's Mysterious World-The Peggy Mount Calamity Hour Fear (feer) noun 1 a distressing emotion aroused by impending danger, evil, pain, etc., whether the threat is real or imagined; the feeling or condition of being afraid. 2 a specific instance of or propensity for such a feeling. The demarcation of the aforementioned is the selected substratum for this week’s episode as Doctor Velvet and Blackout self-immerse and wallow in an ambience of foreboding and trepidation. The inaugural tentative steps begin amidst the bleak and exposed tableau of Romney Marsh following the supposedly-innocent day of schoolboy Peter in Dramarama’s ‘Snap’ before adopting a more global and ambulatory line of enquiry, throwing them headlong into the incongruous and skeptical climate of Arthur C Clarke’s Mysterious World. Are we being watched? What is the socially accepted sine qua non for a 'too-wet mouth’? Could a Smogule™, worn with sky-blue slacks, become the sartorial de rigueur for Summer?
