In these clips from five years ago, we were NOT looking forward to Christmas, The Thing was still among us and The Tangerine Scream had just lost the election

In these clips from four years ago, we were talking about a very silly car, Bodger was making noises with his face about freedom and I go on an unhinged rant about the catastrophic clown show of a government

It was four years ago and a TV presenter had been mean about the size of Robert Jenrick's flag, Putin was acting nice and Donald Trump was not the President of the USA.

In these clips from three years ago, a woman calls with a hedgehog tale, I wondered about an MPs hair-don't and we talked about comedy overseers.

In these clips from Spring 2022, the government said it was giving us money, fines were being doled out to the little people (not leprechauns) and Will Smith had a moment at the Oscars.

In these clips from Spring 2022, England were drawn against the USA in the World Cup, there was an update on promises made by those that who said everything would be better if we only did what they said and I had to dump a nice lady for builders' language
