Hello listeners,

This week, we wonder at the morals of fairy tales. You know, the stupid underlying 'meaning' that spoils the fun of a far-out fictional confection, and ensures that kiddies absorb some very dubious life lessons. There are probably some very dubious life lessons in AMT216, but at least we're not pretending we have any morals. 

Today we contemplate:

round robin letters
Keeping Up Appearances
Roy Clarke
Compo vs. Prometheus
basket cases
dominatrixes
non-alcoholic beer
hospital flowers
<a href="http://www.quackwatch.org/01QuackeryRelatedTopics/Cancer/grape.html" target="_blank">the grape cure</a>
governess porn
sexy pizza
sexy Travis Bickle
American Apparel
why we don't do shout-outs
and
<a href="http://youtu.be/ZBB4h1Kagc4?t=8m21s" target="_blank">the only thing that happens in 31 series of Last of the Summer Wine</a>.

Plus: Olly would like Aesop's Fables to be more like a Choose Your Own Adventure book; Helen is the Sookie Stackhouse of AMT; and Martin the Sound Man gets quite emotional about the tale of the Elves and the Shoemaker. Thankfully he recovered sufficiently to launch a contest for under-18 songwriters, which you can find out about by <a href="http://sociablephysics.wordpress.com/2012/05/19/are-you-a-young-science-songwriter/" target="_blank">clicking here</a>.

This week's Bit of Crap on the App (available for <a href="http://tinyurl.com/amtapp" target="blank">iDevices</a> or <a href="http://tinyurl.com/androidAMT" target="blank">Android</a>) is a question from a couple of chaps on their way to Alton Towers. Cue a blast of Mann Rage directed at theme park rides that blatantly used to be other theme park rides. Oh God, why dost thou torment him thus?

What is not a torment is asking us a <a href="http://answermethispodcast.com/questions" target="_blank">QUESTION</a>! (Though reading some of them is a torment for us.) Send an email to <a href="mailto:answermethispodcast@googlemail.com">answermethispodcast@googlemail.com</a> or leave a voicemail on the Question Line (dial 0208 123 5877 or Skype answermethis).

And assuming the elves will step in to finish off our chores, we will see you again next week for AMT217.

Helen &amp; Olly
