THE JOHN DREDGE NOTHING TO DO WITH ANYTHING SHOW - SERIES 2, PROG 5

John Dredge says goodbye to 2012, also known as the Chinese Year of the Accoutrement, with yet another one of those crazy end-of-year round-ups of the year’s most shocking household implements.

There will also be odd noises of all shapes and sizes, plus an argy-bargy of aquatic goodies including the sound of a very large splash, courtesy of our friends at Thames Water.

All this, plus Leighton Buzzard in Color - whoopee!

With Richard Cray, Anna Emerson, Greg Haiste, and James Shakeshaft.

THE JOHN DREDGE NOTHING TO DO WITH ANYTHING SHOW - SERIES 2, PROG 4

The omnipresent John Dredge returns – or does he?  Some say he’s never been away - but tune in to find out anyway.

Listeners in New Malden should take note that our roadshow team of one is also in the area, so please stand well back and allow her to pass along Coombe Road unhindered.

Also this week: Who's behind the cartoon door? Is it Lord Hailsham? Or is it Richard Cray, Mark Davison, Anna Emerson, Greg Haiste, and James Shakeshaft? It's difficult to tell in this light.

THE JOHN DREDGE NOTHING TO DO WITH ANYTHING SHOW - SERIES 2, PROG 3

In the thrid of six new podcasts, John Dredge invites our crack team of announcers to announce what's in this week's announcer-packed programme, with each and every single announcement lovingly frosted with audio glucose.

We welcome back agricultural song stylist Farmer Collins for some reason, and there's other things both here and there.

If you'd like to swap this podcast for a game of Ker-plunk with half the accessories missing, give Noel (pictured above) a call on 01-811-8055. Otherwise: biscuits!

With Richard Cray, Anna Emerson, Greg Haiste, and James Shakeshaft.

THE JOHN DREDGE NOTHING TO DO WITH ANYTHING SHOW - SERIES 2, PROG 2

In this week's edition, sideboards rule the roost and there's cubes a-plenty when Reigate comes into the picture - yet all is not as it seems (observe the conundrum as our theme tune is marched straight out of the studio).

Pop personalities and phone-ins galore are also very much in short supply tonight, so grab your armchairs and await further instructions / know-how.

Plus Trip Advisor's Peter Pilbeam tells you where to go...but not why, sadly.

With John Dredge, Richard Cray, Anna Emerson, Greg Haiste, and James Shakeshaft.

In her fourth and final consultation with comedians, award-winning comic and former psychotherapist Taylor Glenn talks to 24-year-old Nigerian Christian stand-up Idris Olawale Gbaja-Biamila, thankfully better known to MCs as Ola, about race, religion, and finding fun amidst his ambitions.

He's also found time to write his first e-book, Dear Future Wife (available at www.blurb.com/bookstore/detail/3052558). Keep abreast of what Ola does next by visiting his Facebook page at www.facebook.com/olathecomedian.

THE JOHN DREDGE NOTHING TO DO WITH ANYTHING SHOW - PROGRAMME 6

This week's indie comedy special includes the new single by Fractious Nit and an interview with pop twinnock Rex Twix.

Madonna and Morrissey (pictured above wearing masks of each other in a jolly little jape) will be arguing in the kitchen, and there's another mention of New Malden as well as an uncanny reference to steam engines.

We're still looking for people to take part in our Get in the Sideboard with a Crazed Lion feature, so do contact us on this number.

Lion and sideboard pictured; Contestant(s) not

There's also the first episode of an amazing new science fiction adventure serial, so it's very unfortunate that this is the last programme of the series.

THE JOHN DREDGE NOTHING TO DO WITH ANYTHING SHOW - PROGRAMME 5

The memories come flying back, swoop down, and steal all my fish...

On this week's programme, there's a very special interview which we can't tell you too much about because we've forgotten who it's with.

Acclaimed non-Frinton-based actress Anna Emerson will also be saying several words, and guest star Reg Chimpolomew will be doing very little.

There's also the ongoing adventures of Basil the Cylinder, the answer's to last week's holdall-based quiz, and a whole host of other fabulous things which we've also forgotten about.

THE JOHN DREDGE NOTHING TO DO WITH ANYTHING SHOW - PROGRAMME 4

On this week's show, you’ll not only hear a combine harvester but also a specially-built giant catapult.

Guests include acclaimed actors Greg Haiste and Anna Worthington, as well as the less acclaimed Crazy Eric and Leonard Aircraft.

There's extensive information about shoe shop logistics, and a feature on bark.

Wrong sort of Bach.

Wrong again.

Correct.

Plus: will the gasman read the meter in time?

The programme also comes with a free hat stand for all your hat standing needs. Lucky you.
