DwarfCast 178 – Re-Disc-overy: Series VIII

"Birds don't have balls" We may not be fast, but we get there in the end. Just shy of a year later, our voyage of Re-Disc-overy continues as we reach the mammoth collection that is the Series VIII DVD. And there is much to discuss, such as the inter-cast beef evident in the commentary track, the brilliance of the guest stars' contributions to the documentary, a reappraisal of Chris Veale's work on the series, the beginnings of the show's web presence, the moment that secured this fledgling fansite's future, and buffet car food. Oh, and there's always time to discuss the merits of the series itself, because we haven't done that enough over the last twenty-six years. All this, plus not one but two commentaries, on the Children In Need sketch and the collection of PBS idents. You lucky people. Show notes Contemporary reviews from Cappsy and John Hoare What's Funny About..? , the radio equivalent of Comedy Connections Bill Pearson's Christmas special script , via Gazpacho Soup Whatever You Want , and its Pearson-built Starbug Terry Wogan's penis Swirly Thing Alert and Smegheads in Seattle Back In The Red Xtended - commentary and Xtended Revisited
