Ho‑De‑Ho and Flowery Twats: An 80s Sitcom Showdown with Tony Goodman

Broadcasts live every Wednesday at 7:00p.m. uk time on Radio Soapbox: http://radiosoapbox.comIn this lively episode of the Shelley Tasker Show, I’m joined by my brilliant co‑host Mallificus Scott and our special guest, YouTuber and all‑round raconteur Tony Goodman, for a sun‑kissed catch‑up and a nostalgia‑packed quiz night. We kick off with summertime vibes, London weekend tales (Speakers’ Corner, Marxism walking tour, and a hilarious night at The Book of Mormon), plus life updates ranging from driveway deadlines to gym returns and the sanity of not beating ourselves up. Then it’s full throttle into 1980s British sitcoms—Only Fools and Horses, ‘Allo ‘Allo!, Hi‑de‑Hi!, Are You Being Served?, Fawlty Towers, Some Mothers Do ‘Ave ‘Em, The Young Ones, Red Dwarf, and Blackadder—where Tony fields everything from character deep‑cuts to impossible air‑dates with wit and encyclopaedic recall (and a few glorious misses). We round off with Tony’s wry takes on “clean pants” wisdom and the mystery tribe who sprint to airport gates, celebrating the heroes who queue so the rest of us can finish our pints in peace.Music shout‑outs include gems from the Jeff Nichols archive on YouTube, and we look ahead to more guest laughs and listener quizzes. If you love classic British comedy, good company, and a dose of real‑life chaos, this one’s for you.
