Our Guest President this week, leading the members Tony Slattery’s Rambling Club, is none other than the star of EastEnders and cult series Blakes’ 7, Brian Croucher!
Come and ramble with us as guest President Croucher 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 good ship toss!
First stop is destination number 643: Housing and Household Equipment. An opportunity to explore President Croucher’s past. Step back to his early life in London and find out the rather unconventional way he became involved with acting!
Next we're heading toward 398: Folklore. An opportunity to discuss Blakes’ 7. Or it would be if President Croucher could recall the show. As it is we get the chance to romp through the entire subject and there are one or two startling revelations along the way!
Our final destination is 671- Metal Working and Primary Metal Products. Back to school for the chaps on this ramble, with memories of woodwork, metalwork and, from Brian, the story of the time someone shat in the swimming pool. Also a chance to hear about how Brian was in one of the most famous theatre shows of the 20th century. One which was the final nail in the coffin of theatre censorship!
After all that it’s time to head back down the garden path to Tony’s shed, to relax after what is a truly fascinating ramble.
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!
