The Benji and Nick Show is a weekly entertainment podcast that celebrates and chats about vintage television. Topics range from the famous to the obscure, from shows such as Star Trek, Doctor Who, Space: 1999 and The Avengers to Dangerous Knowledge, Lizzie Dripping, Follow Me and Eldorado. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg – the show has been running for over two years already! Every Sunday,

Benji Clifford (composer, singer, sound designer, 1970s style guru and international tangent) and Nicholas Briggs (actor, director, writer, Dalek voice and amateur beard grower) pick a TV show (or even a movie) to discuss. Sometimes they provide a commentary that listeners can sync themselves up to. And sometimes they simply have a catch-up chat about what they’ve been watching recently. They also read out your emails sent to [email protected] and recently have been joined from across the pond by special US guest star reviewer Shelley Dean (artist, face/shoe-painter and the best convention minder known to human kind). Jamie (son-of-Gerry) Anderson often pops in too for some banter or to provide expert background material on his father’s TV career. He is never less than fascinating-slash-sarcastic…

Vintage magazine-style cover artwork is provided by the ever-talented The Mysterious C (aka Colin Smith, undercover man of mystery). Every show begins with the baffling-but-compelling, annoying-yet-disarming Loch Ness Game – which is neither a game nor is it about Loch Ness. It all starts innocently enough with ‘Good Morning’ and then things just get weird…

Many years ago, I took some photos for Big Finish. This is my favourite one. Purely by chance, just as I clicked the shutter, someone crashed some bins into each other just to one side of Sylv, Sophie and Bonnie. 🤣

I'm told that yesterday was the 25th anniversary of my directing The Sirens of Time. The first ever Doctor Who audio drama from Big Finish Productions. What a great ride we're still having! So much more to come.

This is simultaneously breaking my heart and making me very angry. Recommended. ITV knocking it out of the park again.

Received the script today, Karen Henson. It's all flooding back to me. Only hope I feel the same on opening night 5th August this year. 🤣

Here's me having far too much to say for myself. My excuse is that we were told to interrupt and debate with each other, but I was the only one inconsiderate enough to take the instruction seriously. ;-)

Nicholas Briggs, voice of the Daleks, and author/super-fan Beth Axford join the Radio Times team to debate which is the best Doctor Who story from across 60 years in time and space.

I rarely state my personal opinions on social media these days, but ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. The ritual abuse of sprouts at this time of year is shameful and vindictive! I love sprouts, and yes, I'd certainly even be willing to try deep fried battered sprouts! So there! 🤣 I invite all my fellow sprout-lovers to post here.

What would you like Benji, Nick and Shelley to watch for the FINAL episode of the Benji and Nick Show?

ALL GOOD THINGS

It is with huge regret that we’re announcing the end of The Benji and Nick Show podcast. Over the last few years, Benji Clifford, Nicholas Briggs and more recently, Shelley Dean, have delved into the worlds of vintage television – raved about what they love, moaned about what they hate and generally just messed around and had a great time.

But for Benji and Nick their increased workload has been getting a bit out of control and now they need to make time for other projects.

The podcast’s Patreon account will close at the end of this month ensuring that all loyal Patrons will get their full benefits until the end of July. The podcast will then continue throughout August and end with a final edition released on Sunday 5th September.

“It's been a fantastic journey exploring classic telly from all over the world, often thanks to our hugely supportive listenership who have been with us every step of the way. A huge thank you to everyone who has been a part of our podcast. I shall cherish all the TV gems we've discovered but still maintain that The Owl Service is absolutely bonkers…” Benji

“I’d to thank all our loyal listeners,” says Nick. “Particularly those who’ve written in with so many interesting, supportive and hilarious comments. Huge thanks to all those of you who supported us on Patreon too. And another big thank you must go to Colin Smith (aka the Mysterious C) who became our cover artist out of his own generosity and enthusiasm.”

“It has been an absolute delight for me to have been a part of The Benji and Nick Show for the past year. I have been exposed to TV shows that would never have crossed my path if not for Benji and Nick convincing me to watch them! I will never get over the terribleness of The Adventure Game and the amazingness of Nigel Kneale's Beasts. I shall miss our weekly gab sessions and being the representative American. Extra special thanks to our loyal Patreon subscribers – I have enjoyed getting to know you." Shelley
