Waffle On Podcast from Meds

[Feathers]

Good podcast, it brought back a lot of memories which surprised me.

Interesting that we all remember the music. It was obviously a key feature of the show.

I'm staggered that it ran for nine years though. I think I must have enjoyed the original series and then faded out after the cast change occurred and so missed the follow on stuff. I have only vague memories of the horse for example.

I was also saddened to note that I'm the only one who remembered the first series. What does that say about my age? ;) Plus, I thought Davenport was brilliant. Still, it was a show about ghosts so I'm not sure why death would have stopped him returning :D

LOVED this epsiode! Memories hey? More like a lack of! You got it just right when you said you remembered the show, but non of the storylines! That was one of the reasons I couldn't do a comment. Biggest shock....9 years!!!???!!! I would never have thought that.

I have a vague memory of there being a cast change, but can only remember the secondary list of characters. One memory I do have that wasn't mentioned was to do with Claypole. Didn't he have a mini head of himself on a stick that used to crack jokes and such?

Apart from that, I recalled everything you said...but not until you said it. Apart from the theme music. Reminded me of a cross between the Chortle and the Wheelies theme and The Goodies...

[Feathers]

Yes! The head on a stick! I'm sure I remember that too although it could just be because you mention it :)

and as for not commenting because you remember nothing...Kell loves comments from people who have nothing to say :)

I can't get the theme tune out of my head, been the same all day after listening!

Great show as usual.  :)

[Meds]

Everyone loves the theme tune lol. Hope i pronounced your surname right mate, sorry if i got it wrong. :)

Sounded about right to me!

Just like the footballer but he's no relation. ;)

Loved the YouTube link someone (cosmonaut) found for the first episode. The guy I couldn't remember in my comment was obviously the one who'd only just died. All I could think of was the silly witch but I knew she was only series two onwards.

Oh, I also forgot to say that I wasn't sure about the 'Waffle on about Mike' segment ;). Is that going to be a regular? Actually, I think you gave out enough information in that show for anyone with access to directory enquiries to find me. :(

[cosmonaut]

I was in luck someone made the effort to put it on youtube. Never seen the show, so it was great to have a look.

The pilot:
Rentaghost 1 of 3

And I have seen the witch, but didn't like the episode (s4e1):
Rentaghost S04E01 Part 1

I still have trouble understanding Meds&Kell, pretty fast and the dialect is a bit too much for me! :)
But don't worry, I'm getting there!

Finally finished your episode Mr. Meds.  EXCELLENT!  I had never heard of this before, and now I am well educated.  :)  Nice contest by the way, I wonder if folks will participate?  I am curious now.  :)

Anyway, keep up the brilliant shows.  VERY NICE!

Suggestion for a future show.

How about an episode that covers a selection of kids shows that don't warrant having a full Waffle On thier own. I'm thinking along the lines of.....

Chorlton and the Wheelies Intro Theme - 80scartoons.co.uk
Jamie And The Magic Torch
Look And Read Titles & Credits - The Boy From Space (1980) Look and Read: Dark Towers (1 of 10)
Heads and Tails


I'd LOVE this kind of episode....I could be bias though as, being about the same age as yourselves, this would just be a self fullfilling trip of nostalgia! :)

[Feathers]

Hmmm. That would make me too old for that episode then! Don't ask for my list of little viewed shows...before your time mate ;)

[Meds]

Antony we're doing just that. We talked about it at the nec earlier and to add to your list Mr Ben, Cosgrove Hall eg Danger Mouse and classic foreign kids stuff likevthe boy who lost his smile. Antony fancy doing a mp3 for us on one of your suggestions ;)

[Feathers]

Mr Benn? Now you're in my era!

A chance to revisit Feative Road. Lovely.

[Meds]

Mike would you like to do a comment on Mr Ben ?

[Feathers]

Is this the next waffle?
