Welcome back to the Pod, joining me this time around is my good friend Tom, of One Foot in the Podcast, The 3 Comidos and Flat as a Fart.

We discuss the middle of the Gary-Dorothy crisis trilogy.

Any comments or feedback, please get in touch at mbbpod@yahoo.com

Cheating partners and acts of kindness are the main strands of this episode, one of my favourite in the entire series run.

The first in a mini trilogy of sorts.

Lots to discuss here, and it was a pleasure to do so with long time MBB fan Joe.

So Series 4 is upon us. A very strong run of episodes ahead of us. Vintage MBB some might say.

I am joined this week by my great friend Tom; co-host of The Three Comidos, host of One Foot in the Podcast and co-host of Flat as Fart. (https://shows.acast.com/flat-as-a-fart-podcast)

Gary and Dorothy decide to start a family, however will Dorothy’s concerns over his suitability as a parent throw a spanner in the works.

Meanwhile Tony has to let a workman into Debs’ flat, what could possibly go wrong?

So Series 3 draws to a close, and we are left on something of a cliffhanger.

If only Gary had moderated his drink down at the Pasta Pig, he wouldn't been in this mess....

My brother Tim joins me to round out the third series, and its an episode we are both fond of.

Thanks for listening.

There's trouble in store for Gary when a cleaning lady is called in to deal with the state the flat has gotten into.

Meanwhile, Tony is fed up with his job as a barman, and decides a new career path is just what he needs to cheer himself up.

A weekend away is just what Gary and Dorothy need to spice up their relationship. A bit of country air will send them back to London fully invigorated, surely?

Tony embarks on a new career at The Crown, and spies an opportunity to get even with Deborah's new boyfriend.

I am delighted to be joined this week by Nic Bowden, of Ant and Nic Press Play. Nic is a very knowledgeable MBB fan, and I am very grateful to him for talking through this episode with me.

"Tell me lies, tell me sweet little lies"

So said Fleetwood Mac.

When Gary tries it, it lands him in hot water.

This week the issues of dealing with damp, cooking with socks, and navigating the pavement whilst avoiding falling literature crop up.

Enjoy the podcast.

Series 3 of MBB is in full swing over on the BBC.

We join the gang on a windy night in London. After an evening of cooking and trouser folding, Gary is in the mood for love, whereas Dorothy needs to shift her indigestion.

Meanwhile, Tony is dabbling with self help tapes...

Hope you enjoy the show.

So we reach the end of Series 2. It's farewell to ITV, and the 25 minute episodes.

This week, the offer of a free holiday test everyone's resilience to the max. We also discover the most effective way to break up a game of Twister in a hurry.

Thank you to everyone that has listened to the pod. It has been a huge pleasure to review these episodes.

Dandruff, vinyl records and digestive biscuits- just some of the challenges facing our heroes this week.

Tony makes progress with Deborah, and Gary tries to scam Dorothy. Surely at least one of these scenarios is going to end badly....

Thanks for downloading the podcast. 

I hope you find it as enjoyable to listen to as I do making it.

This week on the pod, we tackle keeping a flat in tip-top condition, as well as how to delicately rid yourself of a relationship that is heading south, with our experts Mr G Strang, and Mr T Smart.

As ever, it is a joy to produce these pods, and I hope you continue to enjoy them.

Tony is settling into life at the flat, and trying to impress Deborah with his bilingual abilities. Gary is a little unsure about one or two things about Tony, so does a little investigating. Surely the lads can't be over before they begin? We also met Nev, the lazy bastard roadie, for the first time. Oh, and crosswords crop up a lot...

Enjoy the pod.

DFYGG welcomes it's first guest, Mr Nick Maloney, known to MBB fans as Dermot's nemesis Mr Trembly.

Nick joins me for a fascinating chat about his career on radio, stage, TV and film.
He really is a fantastic individual, who was so kind to spare his time to share his experiences.

I know any sitcom fan will love to hear about his life on screen.

Sit back, get yourself a cold Binky, and enjoy the podcast.

So, a new era is upon us. It’s time for Gary to find a new payer of the rent. An advert in the local paper should do the trick….then it's just a case of whittling the list of applicants down....

Neil Morrissey makes his debut in the show as Tony, a part he will become famous and renowned for, and is still recognised for today.

Tom, from One Foot in the Podcast, a great podcaster and a close personal friend of mine, joins me this week.

We talk at length about Dermot’s departure, Tony’s arrival, the genius of Dave Atkins, as well as a whole host of other topics.

Enjoy the show.

Don't Forget Your Goodbye Gherkins is thrilled to welcome it's first guest, John Lush, of the Monkeys and Dogging Peter Kay's Car Share Podcast. 

John and I chat through this last episode of Series 1, which is also Harry Enfield's swansong. It's a real pleasure to be joined by a fellow fan and podcaster.

Gary feels the time is right to move on, but how can it break to George and Anthea they too could be losing their jobs?

Dermot lands a job and a chance to impress at the same time. Surely even he couldn't make a mess of being a restaurant waiter?

It is sad to say goodbye to Dermot, but all good things must come to an end. And of course, the space on the sofa is not empty for long....

Enjoy the episode.
