The 1980s may have only ran for ten years, but that isn't going to stop The Peggy Mount Calamity Hour's neon-themed look-back series from leaving no deceased equine in an unflogged state. Because if you can't Bring 'Em Back Alive, all that remains is to pick over the carcass and determine the cause of death (or cancellation after seventeen episodes)...

Yes, it's pistols and pith helmets at the ready in this Soundcloud EXCLUSIVE, as we cast an eye over the decade's other icon of khaki and derring-do, Frank Buck (quiet at the back). Working tirelessly to thwart poachers and assist the circus industry, our hero's first valiant efforts come under the alcohol-fuelled and often profane scrutiny of Doctor Velvet and Blackout.

How far through the cacophony of this episode will our hosts make it before reaching for the Migraleve? How many times will they hit rewind to fully appreciate the immaculate wardrobe choices of G.B. Vonturgo? And will someone - anyone - please take away Frank Buck's hats..?

Bring 'Em Back Alive

In the spirit of camaraderie, co-operation  and consideration, those kind gentlemen at Mountpeg Towers have lent their facilities to an up-and-coming rival podcast (albeit on strictly limited Soundcloud-only terms). And in the spirit of agile, responsive and seat-of-their-slacks media production, The Margaret Rutherford Misadventure Marathon chose the subject-matter of their copycat drunken analysis on the results of a Twitter-poll. Democracy continues to have much to answer for...

There are, as is traditional, two televisual treats under the microscope, the first of which could not be covered on PeggyMountPod for predictably practical reasons. Yes, Mister T finally makes a full animated appearance as 'The Cap Cod Caper' (or 'Mystery', if you prefer) is chosen for dissection. It's certainly a way to work up an appetite of course, and how better to sate this craving than dropping into Robin's Nest for a bite to eat and some light farce?

How bored and easily distracted are the New England staff-reporters at a gymnastics convention? How much comedy-milage can two sitcom writers be expected to wring out of a Chinese restaurant? And will Proctor Helmet and Cackout be allowed back in Pod Producer Ken's studio after the way they went on?

Press Play and see what you think...
