Neil mentioned the apostrophe when we recorded the podcast but like a lot of other stuff it didn't make the edit.
It triggers me every time.
I think the problem was he kept picking up different props on different takes, destroying any sense of continuity.
A new episode of World of Telly is now available wherever you get your podcasts. This month we're watching UFO, the sci-fi classic from 1970. The video version of this episode is currently in a copyright dispute so please watch it while you can! youtu.be/kgpJJzg_1S4
I remember Absurd Person Singular as being excellent, but I've only seen it once. It's the one with the interrupted suicide attempt in the kitchen isn't it?
We can only resist for so long.
In case you missed it...
Season 2 of World of Telly starts next week... youtu.be/MB-MZfhFUjQ
World of Telly returns on Thursday February 26th with an episode dedicated to UFO. We'll also be releasing details of all the shows we hope to cover this year very, very soon.
MST3K is coming back for four episodes with Mike and the Bots, which is very exciting. If you are unfamiliar with the show, why not check out our World of Telly episode: youtu.be/yGAvtdAcCzA?...
World of Telly returns next month. If you missed anything from season one, I've put together a YouTube playlist: www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...
Love this podcast - informed and entertaining discussion about one of my favourite subjects. Think “The Rest is History” for telly nerds - bliss!
Once again, thanks to everyone who listened to and/or watched the World of Telly podcasts in 2025. There’s much more to come in 2026, but in the meantime you can dip into the back catalogue wherever you get your podcasts, or at youtube.com/@worldoftelly. See you next year with UFO.
We're currently existing in a haze of eggnog, Baileys and Skol, but we have found the time to move all of 2025's newsletters into their new home on Patreon. Thanks for your support this year - it means a lot.

A bump for our Christmas special and Yuletide Felicitations to you all.
Our special Christmas episode is now available wherever you get your podcasts. A video version of this episode will be out early next week.
This week on Goon Pod with John from @world-of-telly.bsky.social we've been watching Spike's two appearances on THIS IS YOUR LIFE - the first one with impish, chaotic Spike; the second one with Spike much older and slower but still with that twinkle!
Listen here: pod.link/1569929507
I'm back on the estimable Goon Pod, this time to talk about Spike Milligan, This is Your Life, and Seamus Android.
Another bump for this, and a reminder that our festive podcast will be out just before Christmas. After that we'll have a break in Jan, and then we'll be back with our regular podcast and newsletters throughout 2026 and beyond. It's been a fun year and thanks for listening and watching the podcast.
A Sunday lunchtime bump for this.
The video version of our latest episode is out now: youtu.be/ijlnPXmBDrY Please like, subscribe and share the video around, as it really does help us out. Thanks.
