  • "Just One More Time, For Old Times Sake"
    Feb 21 2025

    Hello, and welcome to Tony Slattery’s Rambling Club! Come and join in as President Tony takes us gently by the externals and leads us on a ecclectic ramble through three special destinations chosen entirely at random with the use of his enchanted bingo machine. As ever, the omniscient voice of Sir Stephen Fry is on hand to keep a hand on the tiller of the boat of incompetence.

    First stop is destination number 584: monocotyledons. This could be tricky, seeing as our merry band of wanderers can’t even pronounce the word. And as for all that stuff about Peter Cushing…

    More familiar turf is discovered as our team head toward destination 825: English speeches. Thankfully something they know something about!.

    After managing to get somewhere with that let’s see what awaits us with destination 757- human figures and their parts. "Parts".

    Hmm...

    After all that it’s time to head back down the garden path to Tony’s shed, where the fire is roaring and the kettle is whistling. If nothing else, it’ll put hairs on your chest, regardless of whether you want them or not.

    Tony Slattery’s Rambling Club is a free-associating conversation, sometimes involving very special gusts. It drops every Friday on every podcasting outlet known to man. We’d love it if you came along for the walk. If nothing else, it’ll help you get your steps in!

  • Richard Vranch- "How Dare You Recall That Monstrosity"
    Feb 14 2025

    Hello and welcome to Tony Slattery’s Rambling Club!

    This week Tony is rather excited as he has a very special friend visiting. It’s none other than Richard Vranch, Tony’s friend and double act partner all the way back to their Footlights days!


    Of course, there is still the small matter of a ramble to be had and (once anyone can get a word in) it’s time to call upon the omniscient voice of Sir Stephen Fry who is on hand, as always, to direct our quartet in the vaguest of ways.

    First stop is destination number 395: manners and etiquette. Surely the presenter of P’s & Q’s will know a thing or two about this. But what’s all this about Richard and Tony performing for royalty?


    Next up and number 127 awaits: unconsciousness and subconsciousness. This one will take some thought. Or not…


    Finally we find ourselves at destination 782: vocal music. Familiar turf for Tony and Richard and a glimpse behind the doors of the Whose Line studio circa 1989!

    After all that, and this is quite a ramble, you’ll be needing to head back to the presidential shed to take stock and decompress. If nothing else, it’s an alternative to reality. And that’s no bad thing…

  • Nigel Planer- "The Tossem Hat?"
    Feb 7 2025

    Hello, and regardless as to whether you like it or not, welcome to Tony Slattery’s Rambling Club!

    Come and join in as President Slattery is joined by a very special guest.

    Yes, it’s the one and only Nigel Planer and he’s here to investigate the faeriefolk at the bottom of the Presidential garden!

    Still it won’t be long before Tony drags him, and us, on an exuberant ramble around three special destinations chosen entirely at random with the use of his enchanted bingo machine. As ever, the omniscient voice of Sir Stephen Fry is on hand to chart a path of logic through the quagmire of cobblers.

    First stop is destination number 146: naturalism and related systems. It would help if our merry ramblers could agree on what ‘naturalism’ is.


    After that surely destination 385 will provide some points of interest. So long as the President’s lurid thoughts surrounding a much loved icon of children’s television and literature don't get the better of him!


    Finally we end up at destination 098: Prohibited works, forgeries and hoaxes. We can be sure that the star of The Young Ones knows a thing or two about being censored!


    After that it must surely be time to collapse next to the fire back in the Presidential shed and take stock of what’s just happened. If nothing else it’s a chance to find if faeries lurk at the bottom of your garden.
