We have a confession to make. Our guest President, taking the reins for this weeks edition of Tony Slattery’s Rambling Club us none other than the legendary Robin Askwith! Come and join us as Robin leads us on a ramble through three special destinations chosen entirely at random with the use of Tony’s enchanted bingo machine. As ever, the omniscient voice of Sir Stephen Fry is on hand to keep a hand on the tightarse of the duck of bullshit.

First stop is destination number 616: Diseases. A jolly one to start with but would you believe our guest president spent almost a year in an Iron Lung as a boy? What influence did that have on his life?

After that number 910 awaits- Geography & Travel. Tales of travel and geography teachers abound along with a glimpse behind the doors of Inside Number 9! It doesn’t take too long for this to wander off course and, before you know it, Leonard Rossiter is playing Hitler in a Brecht piece!

After all that it’s time to head back down the garden path to Tony’s shed, the roaring fire providing welcome relief after possibly our longest ramble yet before President Askwith bids us a fond farewell.

If nothing else, it’ll keep allow you to ignore the podcast tariffs we are introducing.

Tony Slattery’s Rambling Club is a free-associating conversation, involving very special guests. It drops every Friday on every podcasting outlet known to man. We’d love it if you came along for the walk. If nothing else, it’ll help you get your steps in!

Prepare yourself! Our Guest President this week, leading the members Tony Slattery’s Rambling Club, is none other than Britain's number one Battleaxe, Christine Hamilton! Come and join us as guest President Hamilton takes us rambling three special destinations chosen entirely at random with the use of Tony’s enchanted bingo machine. As ever, the omniscient voice of Sir Stephen Fry is on hand to ensure it doesn’t all get out of hand!

First stop is destination number 002: The Book. This could be taken any way but the big question is, will Paul manage not to bang on about bloody Shakespeare.

Then we’re off to number 383- Postal Communication. Does our intrepid band miss the days of waiting for a letter or are they more at home with instantaneous messaging?

Finally we arrive at number 638- Insect Culture. Now one of our merry band has had quite the insect experience but did you know our lovely Tony was almost a contestant on I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here? If only he hadn’t brought religion up…

After all that it’s time to head back down the garden path to Tony’s shed.

If nothing else, it’s better than a kick in the pants!

A knock at the door heralds the return of an old friend. Yes, it’s the Reverend Robin Ince here to lead the members Tony Slattery’s Rambling Club on another wander through a special destination chosen at random with the use of Tony’s enchanted bingo machine. As ever, the calming voice of Sir Stephen Fry is on hand to maintain good order.

Our only stop this week is number 748: Glass. Is there really that much to say about glass? Who knows, because the ramble heads off in all manner of directions and before you know it you’re looking at the corpses on the set of Eldorado.

After what you encounter today you’ll want to head back down the garden path to Tony’s shed, the roaring fire awaiting us as our ramble concludes for this week. If nothing else it’ll make yer eyes water!

Hello, and here is the news. Our Guest President this week, leading the members Tony Slattery’s Rambling Club, is none other than news anchor extraordinaire Simon McCoy! Come and join in as guest President McCoy runs free from his television news cell and leads us on a ramble through three special destinations chosen entirely at random with the use of Tony’s enchanted bingo machine. As ever, the omniscient voice of Sir Stephen Fry is on hand to keep a hand on the tiller of the boat of incompetence.

First stop is destination number 390: Customs, Etiquette and Folklore. That’s an odd combination to start with. When it comes to etiquette you can be sure that the former Royal News Correspondent of Sky News will have a tale or two.

After that number 432 awaits- German Etymology. Nobody present can speak German ( and we don’t count Paul’s “over the level crossing”). This could be a bit tricky.

Finally we find ourselves at number 532- Specific Celestial Bodies. Simon has bought telescope. Off we go…

After all that it’s time to head back down the garden path to Tony’s shed, the roaring fire providing welcome relief after quite a ramble before President McCoy must be resealed in his studio.

Hello, and welcome to Tony Slattery’s Rambling Club! Come and join in as our guest President, the one and only Les Dennis, takes us gently by whatever extraneous bits he can and leads us on a ramble through three special destinations chosen entirely at random with the use of his enchanted bingo machine. As ever, the omniscient voice of Sir Stephen Fry is on hand to keep a hand on the tiller of the boat of incompetence.

First stop is destination number 130: Paranormal Phenomenon. Well the only way this could go wrong would be if the guest President, despite years of working in theatre, had never experienced anything spooky at all! Fingers crossed that won’t happen!

After that we’re off to number 757- Human Figures and their Parts. This section is the reason we almost titled this episode “There’s An Arse Shot”. You can imagine what follows…

Finally we find ourselves at number 797- Aquatic and Air Sport. Stand by for a memory from our Guest President that really is truly touching.

After all that it’s time to head back down the garden path to Tony’s shed, where the fire is roaring and the kettle is whistling. If nothing else, it’s something to do whilst we await the end of the world.

Hello, and welcome to Tony Slattery’s Rambling Club! Come and join in as our guest President, the legendary Sylvester McCoy, takes us gently by the dangly bits and leads us on a ramble through three special destinations chosen entirely at random with the use of his enchanted bingo machine. As ever, the omniscient voice of Sir Stephen Fry is on hand to keep a hand on the tiller of the boat of incompetence.

First stop is destination number 471: Classical Latin Writing & Phonology. An easy start for our merry band!

After that we’re off to humber 351- The Law of Central Government. Acting President McCoy has a few words about the current state of the world!

After coping with that more cosy territory awaits us with number 920- Biography, Genealogy, Insignia! Hmm...

After all that it’s time to head back down the garden path to Tony’s shed, where the fire is roaring and the kettle is whistling. If nothing else, it’ll put hairs on your chest, regardless of whether you want them or not.

Hello, and welcome to Tony Slattery’s Rambling Club! Come and join in as President Tony takes us gently by the externals and leads us on a ecclectic ramble through three special destinations chosen entirely at random with the use of his enchanted bingo machine. As ever, the omniscient voice of Sir Stephen Fry is on hand to keep a hand on the tiller of the boat of incompetence.

First stop is destination number 584: monocotyledons. This could be tricky, seeing as our merry band of wanderers can’t even pronounce the word. And as for all that stuff about Peter Cushing…

More familiar turf is discovered as our team head toward destination 825: English speeches. Thankfully something they know something about!.

After managing to get somewhere with that let’s see what awaits us with destination 757- human figures and their parts. "Parts".

Hmm...

After all that it’s time to head back down the garden path to Tony’s shed, where the fire is roaring and the kettle is whistling. If nothing else, it’ll put hairs on your chest, regardless of whether you want them or not.

Hello and welcome to Tony Slattery’s Rambling Club!

This week Tony is rather excited as he has a very special friend visiting. It’s none other than Richard Vranch, Tony’s friend and double act partner all the way back to their Footlights days!

Of course, there is still the small matter of a ramble to be had and (once anyone can get a word in) it’s time to call upon the omniscient voice of Sir Stephen Fry who is on hand, as always, to direct our quartet in the vaguest of ways.

First stop is destination number 395: manners and etiquette. Surely the presenter of P’s & Q’s will know a thing or two about this. But what’s all this about Richard and Tony performing for royalty?

Next up and number 127 awaits: unconsciousness and subconsciousness. This one will take some thought. Or not…

Finally we find ourselves at destination 782: vocal music. Familiar turf for Tony and Richard and a glimpse behind the doors of the Whose Line studio circa 1989!

After all that, and this is quite a ramble, you’ll be needing to head back to the presidential shed to take stock and decompress. If nothing else, it’s an alternative to reality. And that’s no bad thing…
