Just stumbled across a new reaction vid for ep 5 of Catflap (TVAM) and it was great to see an old fave through new eyes. https://youtu.be/70cfGfl38L8? The Yorkshireman Reacts channel only has ep 6 left to do, so there's 5 available. I'll give them a watch!

Thanks for watching! Don't forget to check out the Patreon! First timers will get their first seven days on the Patreon for FREE! You'll then be asked if y...

Heaps of new info, including a recorded-but-cut 'subplot' with Filthy stealing Richie's non-existent cash!

Happy new year Loobies & thank you for listening in 2024. Mmmmmwah!

If you fancy some Halloween action, here's a chat about The Young Ones 'Nasty' with me and my literal bro Steve ... where we praise everything except Alexei Sayle, who we dump on for justifiable reasons 😁😁😁

Hey guys, well I'm sorry to say the podcast releases will be unpredictable and sporadic for the next few months. There's a bunch of non-podcast things happening that I have to prioritize (though I'd rather be spending my time on Catflappo for sure) so I can't guarantee regular pods for the next little while.
My apologies, you wonderful loobies!

Hey loobies, Catflap costume legend Inez Nordell Vard Art has some pieces being exhibited in Wexford, so now is your chance to get along and check it out, if you're nearby!
If you're continents away like me, liking a few posts is a top way to give a thumbs up to festivals showing off Inez's stuff. Tres bona.

Daughters, my apologies for no episode this month. I'd mostly completed the second part of the 'A to Z of Catflap' (the I to Q!) but in the end was well displeased with it. Needs going back to the drawing board tbh, tres tres bo****ks.
Soz for any letdown, will be back soon enough, all being well.
