Now we get to read his thrilling tale of witchcraft, murder, and stalking - and meet George Spooner: the parvenu with nowt to do.

Worst Writer - George Spooner & the Woman who Loved a Horse, Part 7

For the first time ever, we invited a guest onto the show - writer and comedian Joz Norris.

Joz kindly brought us a wonderful TV sitcom pilot he wrote years ago, and we - slightly less kindly - gave it the full Worst Writer treatment.

It's the story of Damien Rice (not that one) - a time-travelling private detective who is not very good at time travelling, or being a detective - and the case of the missing mayor.

Worst Writer - Welcome to Underspace

Wake Up, Fleepyheadf. It's 11.55am on 17th December and as a Christmas treat/punishment Rich is returning to the Stocean after a 10 month absence for another Stone Clear. Will the field still be there? Will there be any stones? What medieval songs shall Richard sing? How many plastic bags will be mistake for stones? Has the Stone Stasi been lulled into a false sense of security? Will you be able to listen to him doing a wee? These questions will all be asked. Plus another victory for the Brexit ditch and a surprisingly modern attitude is revealed for a traditional stone clearer.

Stone Clearing with Richard Herring - Chapter 184

6,7. Twitch of Fun is BACK in this non-canonical episode to celebrate the end of another horrible year and to attempt to tempt some temporary temps to this zenith of Richard's work. There's an attempt to extract an apology from our most perverse character (that could be any of us), plus Henry Hippo's New Year's Resolution and Ally and Rich look back at the Coldplay couple and who we are to judge them, a Thai woman who rose from the dead, the evil plan of Labubus and Katy Perry in space. And if you time this right you get a countdown to the new year at the end. What more do you want?
