To celebrate the brilliant 70s/80s UK tv show, 'The Tales of the Unexpected' we're going to watch them all and just chat about them... and whatever else pops into our minds

In a behemoth episode we introduce a new voice to the podcast. Yes, joined by Charles, we smash through the 2 hour mark and discuss his favourite episode... it's been a few years in the making and was a pleasure to record. Plus, Damo goes all Columbo and unearths evidence of how this episode lies at the centre of one of Dahl's last, and controversi…

Back again... I really enjoy typing that. Very satisfying. This one is all about the tiniest hotel, the tiniest swim shorts, and the tiniest reception desk. There's also (as usual) some unexpectedness - however well it works... or not. Along the way, Chris and Damo will venture into a smattering of 80s related trivia with only the briefest mention …

There's been a bit of a gap between this and the first episode - it has been very busy... Head like mom's spaghetti - and it's complete coincidence that this episode is about a memory man because a lot of the gap was caused because I kept on forgetting to upload. Join Chris and Damo for today's episode, The Memory Man.…

It's the start of a new era... the (much missed) Robless chapter, but a new chapter at least. Damo and Chris dig out the notepad and pens, and get stuck into this return to form, potentially Norwich based, tale. With regular features like: too much ramble lots of nonsense and a flagrant disregard for the interest of listeners Settle down for nearly…

The train pulls into the final station! We are back for the final part of this anthology so before Season 6 can begin properly, we need to let this behemoth of a special run it's course... or track. Quick reminder for anyone just tuning in. We have a plan and we are actually back but we probably need a bit of practice and maybe you need a reminder …

You'll noticed this is the second part (of two) so please catch up with part one first. As previously stated, when we started recording, the idea was purely just to practice again - so splitting up the episode was all done as an afterthought... hopefully the transition isn't as jarring as I make it out to be in my waffle. Podcasting will resume, so…

Not so much a tale from the Tales... more a possible inspiration for what the Tales became. It's Lady Killer featuring Jesus and we decided to take on one of the episodes from Thriller - if you're a fan of TOTU, you'll love this - watch along on youtube (here's a link to the episode) if you want and it'll save you searching out the boxset online...…

The last episode of season 5 is upon us. It's gone on for ages (S5 recordings began long before lockdowns) but this season has provided a podcast show so much closer to how I wanted the episodes to sound and feel. And we found Damo too. Every part of this has felt brilliant so the fact we have any sort of listener base is just a dream. Thank you an…
