Lost count of how many times I laughed. Classic Alan. It’s also got the cringe factor back.

[MANI506]

I noticed the heroic music from Trojan cropping up in an advert this week. Think it was for a credit card. As you were.

[MANI506]

The Movie Yeah No Yeah No is a classic of our time I agree.

[MANI506]

My general feeling is that VII was a good idea not always executed well and VIII was just bad.

I get so annoyed by how uncritical the VIII documentary is. Norman is the only voice of sanity in the commentary. The VII DVD is frank and honest and one of the best.

[MANI506]

I’ll be getting drunk alone.

[MANI506]

Just watched it again. Marvellous.

[MANI506]

Lovely stuff! My favourite song of all time.

[MANI506]

Bring back Norman and Hattie for one episode. I’m sure Doug can write around that one.

[MANI506]

They are loving Stoke Me A Clipper!

[MANI506]

I still don’t truly know who Pat Boone is.

[MANI506]

Probably best not to get P2P productions to do a photoshop of that one.

[MANI506]

All the call kids call it REDDwarf

[MANI506]

Really looking forward to the Tikka To Ride episode! The quiz episode was great as well. If you haven’t subscribed then now is the time!

[MANI506]

Surely These Are Pineapple Chunks. Oh, Bit This Must Be Gravy Powder and Bollocks This Is Custard Powder And I’ll Deck Anyone Who Says It Isn’t.

[MANI506]

I was so jealous of my mate’s Atari ST. I used to love Robocod. I was a Spectrum 48K user.

[MANI506]

I’m on episode 8 but this has been a useful reminder as to what is going on. I think one of the reasons I’m not laughing so much is because seasons 1 and 2 were watched with a group whereas these episodes I’m watching on my own. We abandoned season 3 a few episodes in I remember.

[MANI506]

Cheers! I’ll look now….

[MANI506]

Any more Noiseless Chatter reviews Phil? I’m up to episode 7 and I’m enjoying it although I’m only laughing two or three times an episode.

[MANI506]

I make it The Crimson Horror.

[MANI506]

I zoned out and imagined what Pete Part Three would have been like. No worse than Only The Good I guess.

[MANI506]

As a casual viewer I thought the first episode this year was amazing, the Mark Gatiss one (Crimson Horror with Diana Rigg) was his personal best the last episode was very enjoyable.

The others I either can’t remember or didn’t like. One thing I will say is that the theme tune sounds amazing on head phones. This was the first time I’ve downloaded to the iPhone.

[MANI506]

Why not visit John’s excellent Dirty Feed Tumblr to celebrate?

Please… try the fish.

[MANI506]

Listen butter pat head!

[MANI506]

Yeah, I know what you mean. There was no need for the slasher elements in Hot Fuzz or at least they could have been toned down a bit. I’m guessing Edgar Wright just loves a bit of slop.

[MANI506]

Canard beak is evil. Much better off with a bottle of rum and a cigarette.

[MANI506]

Si cleansed the atmos by reminding us of an excellent KLF track.

[MANI506]

Brilliant effort and execution. Looks like this DJ really upped the ante on the Friday and Sunday compared to the years I’ve been.

[MANI506]

I have lots of faith in Ed Bye being hilarious in an interview situation.

[MANI506]

More the merrier! I certainly loved this episode on first broadcast. I was gagging for it and as far as I was concerned it delivered in spades. The rest of the series not so much although there are fantastic moments. As mentioned in the G&T podcast, the opening montage is first class!

[MANI506]

Yeah that’s the one!

[MANI506]

I think there’s an Easter Egg music video on the VIII DVD set at The World’s End in Camden with Craig, Danny and Norman. In fact I’m sure there is.

[MANI506]

My gut feeling is that they’re going to love Tikka To Ride with some reservations about the models.

I also fully expect them to spot the continuity fuck up straight away.

[MANI506]

This has been a very interesting podcast, but it’s about to get a whole lot more interesting as they work their way through 7 and 8!

[MANI506]

Nostradamus and his flighty horse predicts… RDXI filmed towards the end of 2014, RDXI broadcast Autumn 2014, DJ XVIII April 2015.

Some just might say that I just took the RDX, DJXVII schedule and shifted it forward two years.

[MANI506]

I tried to get tickets for series 4 but failed, I’ll try harder this time!

[MANI506]

Paul wasn’t terrible but this should be up to standard because Wright is back.

[MANI506]

Best episodes are The Red Door, The Work Outing, Are We Not Men and The Final Countdown.

I often do a Matt Berry impression when there’s somebody at the door.

Can’t wait to see this! Anyone on G&T blagging tickets to the recording?

[MANI506]

Brilliant, this and the Partridge movie are must sees this year.

[MANI506]

That’s why I did Performing Arts at college, we had the same boy-girl ratio! I failed to get off with any of them or even get one of them to hold it for a bit.

Just got back from the wedding and catching up with latest DJ news. New Dwarf Cast – yes please!

[MANI506]

Seeing the excellent Timmy Moore Trio play their heavy blues in Maidstone tonight. Then off to Cheltenham for a wedding and a bit of a disco. I have already promised myself that I am 100% going to the next DJ!

[MANI506]

Fix him! Fix him with the time wand!

[MANI506]

Looking forward to hearing all your reactions to the weekend. Obviously hoping for big news from Doug. Wish I could be there but through G & T hoping to bask in some reflected glory!

[MANI506]

I made life long friendships at DJ 97. If I hadn’t gone my life would literally be very different. Wonder how my Ace is getting on.

[MANI506]

My wife to be will understand (I am funny).

[MANI506]

ONE WEEK TO GO! I’m not going because of a wedding but I will be glued to this site throughout the wedding service, reception and party. If that’s not rude in any way.

[MANI506]

It was a fucking pleasure.

Goitless is an excellent name for the quiz BTW

If someone could list all of the punny DJ quiz names that would make me a happy man. I remember Smeggheads.

[MANI506]

I find the Father Ted picture hilarious Alex.

[MANI506]

I watched Captain Butler go out on broadcast cos I am cool.

[MANI506]

Oh, I’m slightly gutted that the VHS is a best of but I suppose it’s a good way to ease me into the series. The series one DVD was about thirty quid so I’ve left it for now.

[MANI506]

I just bought series 1 of Stuff on VHS. Unusually for a video released in the late 80s it seems to have the whole series on one tape. Hope the tracking’s ok.
