Hear all about the BFI meetup! 

Sing-along with a classic calypso melody!

And brace yourself for a... brace of reviews... 1937's 'Think Fast, Mr Moto', starring Peter Lorre, an Austro-Hungarian, playing a Japanese secret agent, disguised as an Egyptian... or something, plus  a very early big-screen outing for P.G. Wodehouse's inimitable duo, Jeeves & Wooster, in 1936's Thank You, Jeeves'... but is it worth your time?

Episode 40: Ealing Good

In this week's episode, Adam's going through a midlife crisis! We'll hear a selection of songs with crazy-ass names! And we'll use All-Bran to restore our "regularity" back in tune...

Reviews this week come from England's finest, Ealing Studios, and a trio of films it produced in the early twentieth century, 'The Love Lottery', 'Barnacle Bill', and 'Pink String And Sealing Wax'...

...and utilising some terrible sleight-of-hand, Adam will link the whole boiling lot to a classic piece of radio entertainment...

Episode 18: Heavenly Creatures

This week, we’re in the arms of the angels….

Movieland was obsessed with them in the 1940’s, so we take a closer look at three prime examples of the afterlife, as seen in the movies ‘A Matter Of Life And Death’, ‘The Bishop’s Wife’, and ‘Here Comes Mr Jordan’.

We’ll hear an urbane reaction to the first Film Club choice, as well as details of the newest addition.

Vintage adverts come in the form of Skelly Men, Golden Whistles and Pepsi Cola (“Quiet, Kay”)

The radio play was just too hard to decide upon this week, which led Adam to make a drastic decision…

…and REVEALED! The name and subject of the next special, due in just a few episodes time…
