Where Are They Now?
We look at faded fame and track down the familiar names we just don’t see any more. Maybe they've finally got a 'proper' job or become a bad-tempered recluse. Or are they still flogging their celebrity status online or in demeaning daytime telly ads and panto?

One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest
We celebrate the Oscar-sweeping classic, featuring one of cinema’s great battles: Jack Nicholson’s rebellious McMurphy versus Louise Fletcher’s chilling Nurse Ratched.

God-awful Autobiographies
We dissect the over-saturated world of rushed-out, ghost-written celebrity autobiographies, where pun-heavy titles are obligatory and there's more filler than Katie Price's face. Another reason to hate Christmas.

F*** The Fans!
With the World Cup being overshadowed by shameless corporate greed, it's the perfect time for a right old moan about the state of live events where the typical 'fan experience' is getting fleeced to stand on a concrete floor with a crap view.

National Treasures & Errors
An offence-filled episode on the status of Brian Blessed, Michael Barrymore and Richard Madeley, with a few honourable mentions along the way. Are they beloved British icons or have they let themselves and the nation down.

Hauntology & Lost Futures
The future has been cancelled and we're left with the eerie afterlife of what could have been, retro culture and the ghost of Mark Fisher. We're living in a time out of place where Capitalism has won and A.I. is preparing to kill us but at least we've got Scarfolk to make us all feel better.
