Waffle On about Randall and Hopkirk (Deceased)

Hello and welcome to this months episode in which Meds and Kell talk over Skype (sorry but it was either that or no show this month) about the classic detective series Randall and Hopkirk (Deceased). Made in 1969 and coming in at 26 episodes this series tells the tale of Marty Hopkirk coming back from the dead as a ghost and helping his old partner Jeff Randall solve crimes.

As usual we play the classic theme tune, and a surprise theme at the end of the show. Again apologies for the sound quality but Skype can be a bit hit and miss. Thanks for listening and we'll see you next month for our May episode.

We have a Facebook group page if you would like to join (remember to turn off notifications if you don't want to be bombarded by posts etc) you can find that here https://www.facebook.com/groups/waffleon/

"It’s a thing in a thing in a thing…"

In which we hear several crooked love stories, the TARDIS has a hissy fit, Sigma tries to mug himself and problems are solved with a flying head butt…

Reviews: Hide
Air Date: 25th April 2013
Additional notes: Immediately preceding the recording of this episode the Ood Cast consumed an entire Thorntons Easter egg that didn’t even belong to them. See, we’re not all sunshine and smiles … we have an edge. Try not to cut yourself.

This week, Doctor Who done went all spooky. In "Hide" we got a bit of Quatermass, a little Sapphire and Steel and a healthy dose of spam in the walls. Also, listen after the spoiler curtain to hear our review of the new Evil Dead movie.

Star Wars: The Last Jedi is a 2017 American epic space opera film written and directed by Rian Johnson. It is the second film in the Star Wars sequel trilogy, following Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015). The film is produced by Lucasfilm and distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures. It stars Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher, Adam Driver, Daisy Ridley, John Boyega, Oscar Isaac, Andy Serkis, Lupita Nyong'o, Domhnall Gleeson, Anthony Daniels, and Gwendoline Christie in returning roles, with Kelly Marie Tran, Laura Dern, and Benicio del Toro joining the cast. It also marks the final performance of Fisher, who died in December 2016, with the film being dedicated in her memory.

The film was announced after Disney's acquisition of Lucasfilm in October 2012. It is produced by Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy and Ram Bergman, with Force Awakens director J. J. Abrams as an executive producer. John Williams, composer for the previous seven films, returns to compose the score. Scenes that required shooting at Skellig Michael in Ireland were filmed during pre-production in September 2015, with principal photography beginning at Pinewood Studios in England in February 2016 and ending in July 2016. Post-production wrapped up in September 2017.

The Last Jedi had its world premiere in Los Angeles on December 9, 2017, and was released in the United States on December 15, 2017. The film received highly positive reviews, with praise for its plot, ensemble cast, action scenes, visual effects, musical score and emotional weight. Some critics considered it the best film of the franchise since The Empire Strikes Back.

A sequel, provisionally titled Star Wars: Episode IX, is scheduled for December 20, 2019.
