Dramarama/Arthur C Clarke's Mysterious World-The Peggy Mount Calamity Hour Fear (feer) noun 1 a distressing emotion aroused by impending danger, evil, pain, etc., whether the threat is real or imagined; the feeling or condition of being afraid. 2 a specific instance of or propensity for such a feeling. The demarcation of the aforementioned is the selected substratum for this week’s episode as Doctor Velvet and Blackout self-immerse and wallow in an ambience of foreboding and trepidation. The inaugural tentative steps begin amidst the bleak and exposed tableau of Romney Marsh following the supposedly-innocent day of schoolboy Peter in Dramarama’s ‘Snap’ before adopting a more global and ambulatory line of enquiry, throwing them headlong into the incongruous and skeptical climate of Arthur C Clarke’s Mysterious World. Are we being watched? What is the socially accepted sine qua non for a 'too-wet mouth’? Could a Smogule™, worn with sky-blue slacks, become the sartorial de rigueur for Summer? Grab a polaroid camera, a crystal Mitchell-Hedges skull and stride on to find out… The Peggy Mount Calamity Hour is a free podcast from iPorle Media, which holds production copyright.

The Peggy Mount Periodical Hour Podcast: Eagle Comic (1982) It's Saturday morning once again, and what would the weekend even be without a trip to the paper shop, a plain paper bag full of unbranded sweets that have all been individually handled by the friendly newsagent, and a comic - nay magazine, surely? - to get stuck into before World Of Sport comes on?

Stories, insights, laughs — hit play! A profane retrospective dissection of the #Eagle comic (1982), on #YouTube:

Spider-Man And His Amazing Friends/Slinger's Day-The Peggy Mount Calamity Hour In this week's friendly, neighbourhood episode we find Messrs Velvet and Blackout ambling in the aisles whilst speculating on the sartorial protocols of a University costume party in Upper State New York, and the flaws and truisms of a decidedly languorous machiavellian scheme pitted against Spider-Man and his Amazing Friends. After a tentative rummage through the 'Bargain Bin', the topic turns to riotous retail mirth in the form of 80s supermarket sitcom Slinger's Day which is thoroughly checked-out. Could a thirty-something Peter Parker web Slinger? Should a thirty-something Peter Parker web Slinger? Is Vicky Licorish as sweet as she sounds? More importantly, can Blackout locate a quality item of sitcom nostalgia? Onward... The Peggy Mount Calamity Hour is a free podcast from iPorle Media, which holds production copyright.

Jonny Briggs/Dick Turpin | The Peggy Mount Calamity Hour Episode on Amazon Music The Peggy Mount Calamity Hour comes perilously close to living up to its doomful nomenclature as 'one' half of the presenting duo (no names) takes against an innocent, well-meaning 1980s children's programme with a gusto normally reserved for the news cycle of the 21st century. The esteemed company of Master Jonathan Briggs is closely followed by that of Mr Richard Turpin Esq, who naturally comes in for similar grumbling scrutiny. There is no pleasing some people (in this case, one person: NO NAMES). Does a deliberately understated fashion accessory make Briggs the subconscious precursor to one William Elliot? Did we ALL have 'those people' in our class who would get away with murder when the teacher wasn't looking? And what is the correct amount of red wine for a 6yr old to be aspiring to drink of an evening? Let's find out...

The Box Of Delights / The Christmas Jottings Of Hinge and Bracket | The Peggy Mount Calamity Hour Ho-ho-holy snowballs, is it that time already? Yes, with the cheese and scotch advent calendars already suspiciously demolished, it's open house and time for the Peggy Mount Calamity Hour Christmas Special! Crackers will be pulled, bottles will be emptied, and two entertainment gems from the past will be lovingly dissected...Professor Lionel Ziggy Zucho pops round for the first grinding of the festive conveyor belt with 1984's The Box Of Delights, which evoked days long gone even upon its first broadcast. Then that sepia glow is retained for a visit from Ozzy Bognops and a huddle round the radiogram for The Festive Jottings Of Hinge and Bracket, bringing with them as they do a VERY special guest star.Will young Kay Harker ever be magicked to a land where working-class people exist? Will footage ever be recovered of Patrick Moore and Deryck Guyler percussioning in the middle of an ice rink in a provincial leisure centre? And will Turkish Delight Vodka curdle the buttered-eggs?Sift through that discarded wrapping paper for the hastily-ignored instruction leaflet on how to press the Play button, and find out...

Russ Abbott's Christmas Madhouse | The Peggy Mount Calamity Hour Episode on Amazon Music It’s Day Five of the constant Christmas content from Velvet and Blackout and the atmosphere is that of an all-night holiday once they step inside Russ Abbott’s Christmas Madhouse courtesy of London Weekend Television in 1984. The titular star is joined by an Avengers assemblage of contemporary vaudevillians to assist in the delivery of quick-fire, slapstick hilarity but is this enough to keep you ‘living it up’, or will it have you reaching for the Basildon Bond to complain? Can the pre-Mavis Riley, comedy impersonation days be looked-upon as golden and precious yet long since forgotten? Does neon and pastel really pass as period set-dressing? Should we forgive all of the above on account of the wearing of silver slacks?

Count Duckula-The Peggy Mount Calamity Hour The hosts of The Peggy Mount Calamity Hour are well known for chasing the boundaries of terror and for crossing the streams, and tonight's lecture illustrates that just because something appears brightly coloured, that doesn't mean it can't also be steeped in darkness. Yes, the new series' exploratory jaunt into televisual devilry begins in earnest, and what better way to brush aside abandoned cobwebs and read ancient inscriptions aloud than in the company of Count Duckula? With vampires, zombies, tomb-looting and light jazz, there's something for fans of all horror... What was the deal with 1980s variety club acts blagging the contracts for kids' TV theme tunes? What was the deal with Brian Trueman hoovering up any jobs that were left over? And how many gags can you pack into a script before the plot is left sitting in the studio next door? Press Play, blow on the enchanted horn, and find out... The Peggy Mount Calamity Hour is a free podcast from iPorle Media, which holds production copyright.

Captain Zep - Space Detective/Manimal-The Peggy Mount Calamity Hour Despite their oft-brash demeanour, it's not all about cold, hard analytical facts at The Peggy Mount Calamity Hour, and sometimes it does a brain well to relax with the more outré elements of vintage entertainment... This week it's 1983, and Doctor Velvet and The Boy Blackout are joined once more by the stabilising (yet unerringly inebriating) presence of Ozzy Bognops, uncovering something rather arresting in the form of Captain Zep: Space Detective, before cycling through as many zoological transmutations as the handlers-budget will allow in the first episode of Manimal. Have we really travelled to the far side of the galaxy only to find out that The French did it? Should Jonathan Chase be given Space Sentinel Astrea's phone number so he can get a few more actual ideas for animals to turn into? And mind, can these three not just enjoy anything?

Voice From The Gallows / The Ice House-The Peggy Mount Calamity Hour Ah, the sound of hooves clopping across the rooftops and a smell of pumpkins and absinthe left out for Father Samhain can mean only one thing: it is truly the most woe-nderful time of the year! The Peggy Mount Calamity Hour’s Halloween Special reaches once more into the casket for only the finest knitwear, slacks and bejewelled shawls, because here we dress for dinner... Our hosts begin by venturing - as is so oft the case – off down the old pub, where a Voice From The Gallows ensures the spirits they find aren’t just restricted to Harry Hewart’s decanter collection. Following these rather alarming events, a check-in at a luxury country spa retreat is called for, with the charming if rather eccentric regulars keeping the gin cooled down at The Ice House. How many eggs does someone have to smash before you realise that RightMove summary may not have been entirely transparent about the history of this house? How many phallic symbols have to be smeared on your bedroom window before you realise that TripAdvisor review may not have been entirely representative of this hotel? And how many times to we have to petition LWT for a Diamond Lady spin-off sitcom?
