Tony Slattery's Rambling Club

• Terry Molloy- "I Decided To Never Become Famous"

  Before we even get a chance to give the machine a whirl we've behind the scenes secrets from Beadle's About!

Terry played in a band, in The Cavern, in Liverpool, in the sixties. What more could you want? Next we're heading toward 645: Household Furnishings. Terry has a beautiful home. How easy is it for him to summon up Davros, the quintessence of wickedness, when surrounded by such beauty? This leads us on to the story of how Terry got started in the world of Acting and why, from an early age, he was determined never to be a star! Our third and final destination is 358: Other Specialised Forces and Services. It all goes a bit Boys Own Adventure on the Rambling Club as we find ourselves with a very young Master Terry Molloy, facing a sandstorm in the middle of the desert! After all that globetrotting it’s time to head back down the garden path to Tony’s shed and relax! Tony Slattery’s Rambling Club is a free-associating conversation, involving very special guests.

As ever, the omniscient voice of Sir Stephen Fry is an eye on the proceedings! First stop is destination number 115. Time. Is time a construct? "No", we learn. Punctuality, however, is very important. And what about timing in comedy and music? All this plus an appreciation of Mr.Ringo Starr!Next we're heading toward 781: General Principals and Musical Forms. Excellent. An excuse to dive into Punk. Is it even possible to define Punk? Who better to lead us on a horizon-broadening ramble than our guest President this week? Our third and final destination is 070- News Media, Jornalism, Publishing. Ed takes us through the perils of publishing as well as his enjoyment of writing. Then we return to a time when music was a reactionary force!

We're lucky here, If you want facts about language then Sinha's your man. An international ramble awaits! Our third destination is 324- Constitutional and Administrative Law.

Never mind, because an extra special ramble awaits...Our fourth and final destination is 843- French Fiction.

• Michael Fenton Stevens- "Ain't It Exciting?"

  Our Guest President this week, leading the members Tony Slattery’s Rambling Club, is none other than the star of Radio Active and KYTV, Michael Fenton Stevens! Why not pull your walking boots on and join us for a ramble as guest President Fenton Stevens leads us 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 513: Arithmetic . That’s arithmetic and certainly not Maths. How can two things so similar be so different? A right old ramble is incoming here as we travel to infinity, but not beyond.Next we're heading toward 906: Organisations and Management. Being arty types this isn’t the best subject for them, but luckily we manage to swing this around to Oxford University and the same Edinburgh Fringe as our President Tony attended. There’s even a surprise Kate Bush waiting in the wings! Our final destination is 422- English Etymology. Michael’s wife would be the perfect person for this ramble, as you’ll find out, but as she isn’t walking with us it’s left to our fearless ramblers to get to grips with the subject. Luckily the subject soon turns to safe territory with Shakespeare...After all that it’s time to head back down the garden path to Tony’s shed, relax and share some memories with Michael about our lovely President Tony Slattery.
