Podcast 288: This is our Everest, Part Thirty-Four – Copy Cats (1985)
On This Is Our Everest this week, your intrepid heroes watched the 1985 ITV quickfire comedy sketch and impressions show Copy Cats, an innocuous enough sounding task which actually pushed both men to the limits of human endurance. It's a show designed by history to...

This week on This Is Our Everest, Edward and Ian watched the first episode of the Bay City Rollers' 1975 ITV series Shang-a-Lang and found themselves grimly fascinated by it all. As one of our panel put it, it was the schadenfruede of a jaded middle-aged man watching...

This week on This Is Our Everest, Edward and Ian watched the early 1990s celebrity panel whodunnit show Cluedo. Still reeling from the news that one of their most fervent regular listeners may have been done in with a snooker ball in a sock, your heroes discuss means,...
Podcast 285: This is our Everest, Part Thirty-One – Triangle (1981)
On this week's This Is Our Everest, your heroes watched Triangle, the BBC's North Sea ferry-based soap opera that was one of Auntie's most high profile disasters. It's a programme so glacially-paced, stupid and confusing that both Edward and Ian watched a second...

Podcast 283: This is our Everest, Part Twenty-Nine – The World Disco Dancin’ Championship, 1979
On this week's This Is Our Everest, your heroes get their glad rags on for the 1979 EMI World Disco Dancin' Championships. There's much discussion to be had about whether or not disco sucks (it doesn't) and what the alternative might have been, which brings a sobering...
Podcast 282: This is our Everest, Part Twenty-Eight – Hammer House of Horror (1980)
This week's This Is Our Everest sees your heroes visit the 1980 ITV horror anthology series Hammer House of Horror. Ian has a number of issues with horror, probably caused by his baffling insistence on living relentlessly in the real world. Edward - a gibbering,...
Podcast 281: This is our Everest, Part Twenty-Seven – The Price is Right (1984)
This Is Our Everest returns today, albeit as a far more sensible weekly edition, with Edward and Ian getting their RDA of The Price Is Right. Your heroes - one in particular - are both connoisseurs of the American programme, so how are they going to respond to the...
Podcast 280: This is our Christmas Everest, Part Twenty-Four – Fanny Cooks For Christmas (1975)

Podcast 279: This is our Christmas Everest, Part Twenty-Three – Please, Sir! (1971)
The penultimate day of the This Is Our Everest Advent calendar goes back 50 years to the black and white world of Please Sir! Ian is fascinated by any programme that depicts London in the early 1970s, even if it is just for the social documentary aspect, and as such...
