We look at the Rising Damp christmas special from 1975 and see how it measures up to our own miserable christmas experiences.

  • 86 - Please Sir! (film)

    In 1971, the TV sitcom Please Sir! got itself a big screen spin off. We're joined by Sol Harris of Diminishing Returns Podcast to see if it makes the transition smoothly, despite a change in cast member and a distinct lack of Potter.
