Of course Farnaby is the best

I've just spent a thoroughly enjoyable lazy Sunday afternoon binge-watching Ghosts. I've never watched it before - typically I think I saw half an episode about five years ago and wasn't that keen so never pursued it - but it is brilliant. Why didn't anyone INSIST on me watching it before now?

"Of course we don't watch the BBC in our house. I rang them up and said "I refuse to pay your tax for rubbish that nobody wants to watch anyway" - what did I say Roy?" "You said "Can you send me a tape of Ross Kemp sweating and shouting?""

Nigel Farage once said his favourite sitcoms were The Good Life, Dad's Army and 'Allo 'Allo. Ok, I wouldn't have expected Glam Metal Detectives or The Strange World of Gurney Slade but there is something drearily predictable about his choices.

I hope the top international comedian's material turns out to be like Bernard Right-On's.

An example of the sort of letters the presenter of Police 5 used to receive.

Roger, I've never heard that before (the story, not the recorded guffers) Where did you pick up that fascinating gobbet?

@goonpod.bsky.socialOct 10, 2026, 5:42 PM

Ah good point

It's someone who's complained in the past, surprised he still listens

I had a message from someone who complained that I brought 'politics' into a recent episode of Goon Pod. Richard Tice was mentioned in passing, we compared him to a strident character in a film who was thoroughly unpleasant "Whilst I enjoy your podcast many of us don't want to be lectured to" (!)

I see Lorraine Kelly has a new podcast in which she speaks to famous people about their lives. I’m not sure I can get my head around such a risky left field high concept idea.

Tbf even I'd consider becoming a Christian if Jesus actually looked like a Rumbelows Area Sales Manager c.1973

One to set the video for.

What do you get if you cross Terry-Thomas with Psycho? An absolute bloody shower

Remember when we used to laugh at these sad saps?

John, John, John. Thinking is woke, didn't you get the memo?
