'Allo 'Allo Special, with Kim Hartman, Guy Siner and Richard Gibson
This week’s guest Presidents are Kim Hartman, Guy Siner and Richard Gibson, otherwise known to generations of television viewers as Helga, Lieutenant Gruber and Herr Flick from the much-loved BBC sitcom, ’Allo ’Allo!Now, there’s a rather familiar picture lurking in the Presidential Shed, and it seems our visitors have come looking for a certain Monsieur Leclerc and a rather special work of art: the Fallen Madonna with the Big Boobies by Van Clomp. Naturally, we couldn’t possibly let them leave without joining us for a ramble.So, give the enchanted bingo machine a spin, listen out for Sir Stephen Fry’s familiar narration, and join us as we head into the great outdoors for three rather unexpected destinations.Our first number is 394.1 – Eating and Drinking Customs. And what better place to begin than the extraordinary culinary traditions of ’Allo ’Allo? We discover the importance of comedy egg and chips, the cast’s pre-recording rituals, Kim’s legendary hospitality, and the rather substantial quantities of gin that can accompany a podcast recording. There’s also talk of sausages, soup, musical performances and the curious business of keeping a cast happy.Next, the machine takes us to 910.4 – Travel Accounts. We explore the international success of ’Allo ’Allo, its extraordinary reach around the world, and why a sitcom set in a fictional French town became such a treasured part of British family life. Our guests discuss the warmth of David Croft’s writing, the affection between the characters, the extraordinary production values, and the importance of playing comedy truthfully. We also discover why Lieutenant Gruber was such a groundbreaking and sympathetic character, and why Herr Flick needed to be genuinely frightening.Finally, we arrive at 929 – Genealogy and Family History. This takes us back to the beginnings of three remarkable acting careers, the childhood experiences and theatrical encounters that inspired them, and the extraordinary world of repertory theatre and the BBC’s great production departments. We hear about the people who shaped their ambitions, the ensemble spirit of ’Allo ’Allo, and the special bond that has kept these three friends laughing together for decades.And, because this is Tony Slattery’s Rambling Club, we couldn't possibly finish without talking about our President himself. Kim, Guy and Richard share their memories of Tony: his extraordinary improvisational talent, that wonderfully naughty twinkle, and the gentle, humble man behind the performance. It’s a lovely reminder of why we miss him.So, pull on your gloves, join us for a little French adventure, and enjoy the company of three very special guests. Just remember: listen very carefully!Presented by Paul Carmichael & Allan Lear with Sir Stephen Fry as the voice of the Bingo Machine.Special Guest Presidents: Kim Hartman, Guy Siner & Richard GibsonMusic composed and performed by Michael Livesley & Andy FrizellThe voice of Pwfthhh- Michael Livesleywww.michaellivesley.comSeries Researcher- Soula CarmichaelSeries Producers- Erica Lear and Mark HutchinsonProducers- Alan Dyebing & Stuart MorrisExecutive Producer- Mark StricksonJoin the rambling club and receive your club membership card, badges, exclusive content and access to early release episodes, an exclusive extra podcast you won't hear anywhere else and exclusive club-only perks!www.patreon.com/SlatteryLiveOfficial Website- www.tonyslattery.comTwitter/X: @SlatteryLiveInstagram: tony_slattery_officialBlueSky: @ramblingclubPaul's Threads: @paul.carmichael.1213Paul's Bluesky: @paulcarmichaelukYou can hear Kim, Guy and Richard's wonderful Allo Allo podcast by searching for 'Listen Very Carefully' on your podcast app.Instagram: listenverycarefullypod© Fanfaronade Productions 2026 Hosted on Acast.

Alex Armitage- “People Could Have Used Tony’s Foot as a Colander”
This week’s guest President is Alex Armitage, Chief Executive of the legendary Noel Gay agency, and a man who knew Tony Slattery for much of his professional life, not least as his agent!This is a particularly special meeting of Tony Slattery’s Rambling Club marks what would have been Tony’s 67th birthday on November 9th.And who better to join us for the occasion than someone who witnessed so much of Tony’s extraordinary career from close quarters?Alex takes us back to the early days, when he and his father recognised the remarkable talents emerging from Cambridge: Tony, Stephen Fry, Hugh Laurie and Emma Thompson. He recalls the first time Tony caught his attention, in a sketch with Stephen Fry that demonstrated just how naturally, and unexpectedly, funny he could be. From there, we explore Tony’s remarkable versatility: the actor, the comedian, the musical performer, the improviser and the entertainer who seemed capable of turning his hand to almost anything.There are stories from Me and My Girl and Radio Times, and some wonderfully revealing memories of the man behind the applause. Alex speaks candidly about Tony’s extraordinary gifts, his self-doubt, his occasional talent for shooting himself in the foot, and the particular challenge of being the person who sometimes had to tell him not to do it again. But above all, there is affection. Alex remembers a man who could be utterly brilliant, gloriously unpredictable and, despite his fame, wonderfully human.There are tales about Tony's performance in a production of Romeo and Juliet for which Tony recorded the Prince’s speeches in a single take, and we reflect on the extraordinary emotional truth he brought to his improvisation. Alex would have loved to see him tackle Shakespeare, and believes he had the ability to reach the very highest levels of classical acting.And, of course, the enchanted bingo machine has its say. Sir Stephen Fry provides the familiar narration as Alex joins Paul and Allan for two rambles: one on the subject of housekeeping, and another involving explosive technologies, a topic that proves rather more relevant to Tony’s theatrical history than we might have expected!So, pull on your gloves, join us out in the great outdoors, and spend some time with a man who knew Tony not just as a performer, but as the extraordinary, complicated and much-loved person he was.A very special birthday ramble, in memory of our President.We miss you, Tony.Paul's new podcast, A Life with Paul Carmichael, is out now on every podcast app!iTunes-> https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/a-life-with-paul-carmichael/id6819710823Spotify-> https://open.spotify.com/show/1aUTKyq2vZ1v9BGTEZCAmB?si=2Fc39XxgRsqzlhH6uaOb-Q&utm_source=copy-linkPresented by Paul Carmichael & Allan Lear with Sir Stephen Fry as the voice of the Bingo Machine.Special Guest President: Alex ArmitageMusic composed and performed by Michael Livesley & Andy FrizellThe voice of Pwfthhh- Michael Livesleywww.michaellivesley.comSeries Researcher- Soula CarmichaelSeries Producers- Erica Lear and Mark HutchinsonProducers- Alan Dyebing & Stuart MorrisExecutive Producer- Mark StricksonJoin the rambling club and receive your club membership card, badges, exclusive content and access to early release episodes, an exclusive extra podcast you won't hear anywhere else and exclusive club-only perks!www.patreon.com/SlatteryLiveOfficial Website- www.tonyslattery.comTwitter/X: @SlatteryLiveInstagram: tony_slattery_officialBlueSky: @ramblingclubPaul's Threads: @paul.carmichael.1213Paul's Bluesky: @paulcarmichaeluk© Fanfaronade Productions 2026 Hosted on Acast.

Paul Bazely- "I Thought That Was for Posh People”
This week’s guest President is the splendid Paul Bazely, the actor best known to many as Troy Ramsbottom in Benidorm, but whose career has taken him everywhere from Doctor Who and Black Mirror to Pirates of the Caribbean, Star Wars and the National Theatre. He’s also a man who, as we shall discover, should probably be kept away from superglue and flat-pack furniture.Tony’s enchanted bingo machine is warmed up, Sir Stephen Fry is standing by to provide his usual authoritative narration, and we’re off into the great outdoors for three rather unexpected destinations.Our first number is 684 — Furniture and Home Workshops. Paul has always fancied himself as a bit of a carpenter, but enthusiasm and practical ability are, sadly, two very different things. There are childhood memories of his Uncle Ted’s shed, a spectacularly unsuccessful attempt to build a cardboard robot, and the small matter of becoming superglued to ones own decking. We also discover the perils of assembling a trampoline on Christmas Eve, why flat-pack furniture is really an elaborate test of a relationship, and why one should always have somebody nearby who can bring tea while ignoring the screams.Our second destination is 387 — Water, Air and Space Transportation. From childhood dreams of travelling into space to the sobering prospect of spending years in what amounts to an airport on Mars, Paul has some thoughts on the future of humanity beyond our own planet. But he would much rather be near the sea, where swimming in cold water has become one of life’s great pleasures. Along the way, we talk about growing up in south-east London, discovering Manchester, and why there is considerably more to British culture than the South-East.Finally, we arrive at 823 — English Fiction, which gives us an opportunity to talk about the craft of acting, the importance of finding the truth in a character, and the particular genius of British drama when it turns its attention to ordinary lives. Paul explains how a single detail from a writer can unlock an entire character, why even a pirate fighting mermaids is still a human being having a difficult day at work, and why the domestic worlds of Pinter, Chekhov and Shakespeare can contain absolutely everything.So pull on your gloves and join us for a ramble through carpentry, space travel, the North, the mysteries of acting and the remarkable things that can happen when you let your imagination run away with you.And then, as ever, it’s back to the Presidential Shed, hopefully without anybody having to be prised off the decking.Paul's new podcast, A Life with Paul Carmichael, is out now on every podcast app!iTunes-> https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/a-life-with-paul-carmichael/id6819710823Spotify-> https://open.spotify.com/show/1aUTKyq2vZ1v9BGTEZCAmB?si=2Fc39XxgRsqzlhH6uaOb-Q&utm_source=copy-linkPresented by Paul Carmichael & Allan Lear with Sir Stephen Fry as the voice of the Bingo Machine.Special Guest President: Paul BazelyMusic composed and performed by Michael Livesley & Andy FrizellThe voice of Pwfthhh- Michael Livesleywww.michaellivesley.comSeries Researcher- Soula CarmichaelSeries Producers- Erica Lear and Mark HutchinsonProducers- Alan Dyebing & Stuart MorrisExecutive Producer- Mark StricksonJoin the rambling club and receive your club membership card, badges, exclusive content and access to early release episodes, an exclusive extra podcast you won't hear anywhere else and exclusive club-only perks!www.patreon.com/SlatteryLiveOfficial Website- www.tonyslattery.comTwitter/X: @SlatteryLiveInstagram: tony_slattery_officialBlueSky: @ramblingclubPaul's Threads: @paul.carmichael.1213Paul's Bluesky: @paulcarmichaeluk© Fanfaronade Productions 2026 Hosted on Acast.

Second Anniversary Spesh! "What's A Podcast?"
Would you believe it? Two whole years of Tony Slattery’s Rambling Club! And to celebrate, we’ve invited a few friends into the shed for a special gathering.There is, however, a slight hitch. The bingo machine, having served us faithfully for two years, has finally decided to take a well-earned rest. The gears are grinding, the balls have stopped rolling, and the great outdoors will have to manage without us for once. So, with no numbers to guide us and no particular destination in mind, we settle down for a good old-fashioned natter.Joining Paul Carmichael and Allan Lear are Erica Lear, Mark Hutchinson, James Payton, Jessica Mann and our very own mayor of the village, Rowland Rivron. Together, we look back at how the Rambling Club came into being, how a slightly mad idea became a podcast, and how Tony’s extraordinary ability to talk about absolutely anything gave the whole thing its heart.There are stories of first encounters, improvised mayhem, unexpected friendships and the sheer joy of being on stage with a man who could take a conversation somewhere nobody else could possibly have anticipated. Mark shares memories of Tony away from the spotlight, while James and Jess recall the delight, danger and occasional impropriety of performing alongside him.We also reflect on Tony’s remarkable talent, his kindness, his generosity towards fellow performers, and the importance of keeping his work and spirit alive. There are laughs, a few poignant moments, and at least one story involving a rather spectacular misunderstanding at a funeral.So pull up a chair, make yourself comfortable, and join us for a special anniversary gathering. The bingo machine may have gone quiet, but there’s certainly no shortage of things to talk about.And this time, we’re staying in the shed.Paul's new podcast, A Life with Paul Carmichael, is out now on every podcast app!iTunes-> https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/a-life-with-paul-carmichael/id6819710823Spotify-> https://open.spotify.com/show/1aUTKyq2vZ1v9BGTEZCAmB?si=2Fc39XxgRsqzlhH6uaOb-Q&utm_source=copy-linkPresented by Paul Carmichael & Allan LearWith their special guests Mark Hutchenson, Roland Rivron, Jessica Mann, James Payton and Allan Lear.Music composed and performed by Michael Livesley & Andy FrizellThe voice of Pwfthhh- Michael Livesleywww.michaellivesley.comSeries Researcher- Soula CarmichaelSeries Producers- Erica Lear and Mark HutchinsonProducers- Alan Dyebing & Stuart MorrisExecutive Producer- Mark StricksonJoin the rambling club and receive your club membership card, badges, exclusive content and access to early release episodes, an exclusive extra podcast you won't hear anywhere else and exclusive club-only perks!www.patreon.com/SlatteryLiveOfficial Website- www.tonyslattery.comTwitter/X: @SlatteryLiveInstagram: tony_slattery_officialBlueSky: @ramblingclubPaul's Threads: @paul.carmichael.1213Paul's Bluesky: @paulcarmichaeluk© Fanfaronade Productions 2026 Hosted on Acast.

Guy Siner- “You Bloody Colonials”
This week’s guest President is the wonderfully entertaining Guy Siner. A ctor, raconteur, accidental international man of mystery and, of course, the man who brought Lieutenant Gruber magnificently to life in ’Allo ’Allo!Once safely installed, Tony’s enchanted bingo machine does its usual work, conjuring three numbers from the Dewey Decimal System and sending us off into the great outdoors. And our first destination is…213 — CreationWhat do you believe happens when all of this begins? Guy was brought up as a Christian, confirmed at eleven so that he could become a godfather, but eventually arrived at a rather more humanist philosophy: we are here, we have been created somehow, and while we are here we might as well enjoy ourselves.That leads us into faith, atheism, the emotional nature of belief, and whether you can ever actually argue somebody into or out of faith. It also leads, inevitably, to Guy’s considerable love of the natural world. Animals, trees, meadows, landscapes and the simple pleasure of being alive all feature prominently although, as Guy cheerfully admits, he loves animals rather more than he loves people.There is also the small matter of cats.379 — Educational PolicyOur second number gives us an excuse to go back to the beginning. Guy is Anglo-American, born in New York to an American father and English mother, before being brought back to England at the age of five and educated here. That experience of belonging simultaneously to two countries and, in a sense, to neither of them completely. is one of the fascinating threads running through his story.From there we arrive at the extraordinary training ground that was the old repertory system. After drama school, Guy was sent away to learn his trade and, in just thirteen months, appeared in twenty-two plays. Drama, comedy, musicals, old men, young men, singing, dancing- the lot.It was an apprenticeship in the fullest sense, and Guy is passionate about what that kind of training taught him: that everybody in a theatre or studio matters. The actor cannot do their job if the person operating the cable cannot do theirs.940 — History of EuropeAnd now, surely, we must talk about Europe.There is Doctor Who, where a young Guy Siner terrified a generation as General Raven. There is his extraordinary work in television and film. There is That’s My Bush!, where he discovered that the supposedly German dialogue had been translated into complete gibberish and decided, brilliantly, that the best thing to do was simply perform the nonsense exactly as written.And then, of course, there is ’Allo ’Allo!Guy takes us behind the scenes of one of Britain’s most beloved sitcoms, explaining why the writing of David Croft and Jeremy Lloyd was so extraordinarily precise, why the cast worked so well together, and why the programme could make virtually everyone the butt of the joke without giving anybody the moral high ground.Presented by Paul Carmichael & Allan LearWith their special guest President Guy Siner and Sir Stephen Fry as the voice of the Bingo Machine.Music composed and performed by Michael Livesley & Andy FrizellThe voice of Pwfthhh- Michael Livesleywww.michaellivesley.comSeries Researcher- Soula CarmichaelSeries Producers- Erica Lear and Mark HutchinsonProducers- Alan Dyebing & Stuart MorrisExecutive Producer- Mark StricksonJoin the rambling club and receive your club membership card, badges, exclusive content and access to early release episodes, an exclusive extra podcast you won't hear anywhere else and exclusive club-only perks!www.patreon.com/SlatteryLiveOfficial Website- www.tonyslattery.comTwitter/X: @SlatteryLiveInstagram: tony_slattery_officialBlueSky: @ramblingclubPaul's Threads: @paul.carmichael.1213Paul's Bluesky: @paulcarmichaeluk© Fanfaronade Productions 2026 Hosted on Acast.

David Schofield- "I’ve Paid £32.50 For You To Make Me Feel It”
Would you believe it? This week’s guest President is the magnificent David Schofield and after a brief encounter with darts, Yorkshire tea and a suspicious-looking path through the shed, the enchanted bingo machine sends us off into the great outdoors once again.Our first destination is 324 — Political Processes, which turns out to be a surprisingly good place to begin. Does an actor have to be political? David thinks not. His job, he tells us, is to interpret the writer and director, even when the character’s views are entirely opposed to his own. We wander through Valkyrie, Our Friends in the North, corrupt policemen, the responsibilities of an actor and the dangers of being told, particularly on social media, what you ought to think. But politics also takes us back to David’s childhood in Wythenshawe, and to his father, a committed socialist who worked on the railways and found his political convictions in a very simple realisation: being ordered to stand on a mat so that his working boots didn’t mark the boss’s carpet was, quite simply, wrong.Then the machine gives us 470 — Latin and Classical Languages, which provides our rather tenuous but entirely legitimate route from Rome to Julius Caesar, Shakespeare and the Royal Shakespeare Company. David talks about iambic pentameter, the extraordinary musicality of Shakespeare’s language and the way the rhythm itself can carry an actor through a speech. We hear about his love of Henry V, Michael Bryant’s extraordinary ability to make pentameter sound like ordinary speech, and the strange magic of knowing that Shakespearean text can remain lodged in the memory for decades.Finally, the machine produces 024 — General Reference Works, Libraries and Books, and we find ourselves talking about acting itself. David remembers the extraordinary Michael Bryant, the dangers of trying to “show” the audience how much acting you are doing, and the importance of remembering that the audience is paying to feel something, rather than simply watch an actor feeling it. There is room for Chekhov, The Cherry Orchard, Pirates of the Caribbean, the difference between theatre and enormous Hollywood productions, and David’s feeling that the industry has perhaps become rather too serious about itself.And then, back in the shed, comes perhaps the most revealing moment of all. Asked whether his extraordinary career turned out as he expected, David remembers the advice of his first proper agent, who asked what he wanted from acting. He could have said fame, money or stardom. Instead, he said he wanted to make a living out of it for the rest of his working life.Presented by Paul Carmichael & Allan LearWith their special guest President David Schofield and Sir Stephen Fry as the voice of the Bingo Machine.Music composed and performed by Michael Livesley & Andy FrizellThe voice of Pwfthhh- Michael Livesleywww.michaellivesley.comSeries Researcher- Soula CarmichaelSeries Producers- Erica Lear and Mark HutchinsonProducers- Alan Dyebing & Stuart MorrisExecutive Producer- Mark StricksonJoin the rambling club and receive your club membership card, badges, exclusive content and access to early release episodes, an exclusive extra podcast you won't hear anywhere else and exclusive club-only perks!www.patreon.com/SlatteryLiveOfficial Website- www.tonyslattery.comTwitter/X: @SlatteryLiveInstagram: tony_slattery_officialBlueSky: @ramblingclubPaul's Threads: @paul.carmichael.1213Paul's Bluesky: @paulcarmichaeluk© Fanfaronade Productions 2026 Hosted on Acast.

Paul Clayton- "Fermenting Gases"
Would you believe it? This week’s guest President is the wonderful actor, director and writer Paul Clayton, and the enchanted bingo machine has once again decided that our ramble should take us somewhere we really weren’t expecting.Paul joins us in the great outdoors, where our first destination is 396 — formerly used classifications relating to women’s position and treatment, now part of the great Dewey wilderness of customs and etiquette. And this turns out to be rather a good place to begin, because Paul has some very definite thoughts about manners, politeness and the little customs that help us navigate the world. From the wonderfully theatrical tradition of hearing “Mr Clayton, standby” over the tannoy, to the lost art of saying thank you without immediately being asked to complete twenty-seven boxes about your customer experience, we find ourselves considering whether modern life has given us rather too much access to one another.And then Paul reveals that his own childhood was rather extraordinary. He was adopted as a baby, and grew up in a family-run village shop in Thrybergh, South Yorkshire. His memories of life behind the counter are wonderfully vivid: miners arriving after the night shift, customers sitting down for a chat, his father becoming mortified when women asked for sanitary products, and Paul himself hiding in the shop window to be admired by passing customers. It seems that a lifelong fascination with people, characters and human behaviour may have begun right there.Next, the bingo machine transports us to 355 — Military Science, specifically siege warfare. Cue battering rams, trebuchets, petards and exploding livestock, before we discover that Paul’s remarkably detailed knowledge of siege engines comes largely from playing Worms on the PlayStation. Which is as good a reason as any to discuss one of the most important theatrical connections in Paul’s life: Tony Slattery.Paul directed Tony in Privates on Parade, having first encountered the play as an actor himself. He tells us about Tony becoming Carmen Miranda for the publicity photographs, the chaos and joy of rehearsals, Tony’s return to the stage after the Olivier Awards controversy, touring with the production — and the extraordinary generosity he showed towards the young actors around him. It is a particularly lovely recollection of Tony: mischievous, funny, occasionally difficult, but fundamentally generous.Finally, the machine produces 024 — general reference works, libraries and books. This leads us into Paul’s life as a writer, his dislike of suspense, his love of Pinter and Orton, the importance of simply allowing great writing to do its work, and his belief that “the art is in the hiding of the art.” We discover how voice-activated software rescued him from his hatred of typing and illegible directing notes, and how he has gone on to write books, thrillers and his forthcoming autobiography.And then, having wandered through village shops, social etiquette, siege warfare, Tony Slattery, theatre, writing and exploding cows, it is time to find our way back to the shed.Presented by Paul Carmichael & Allan LearWith their special guest President Paul Clayton and Sir Stephen Fry as the voice of the Bingo Machine.Music composed and performed by Michael Livesley & Andy FrizellThe voice of Pwfthhh- Michael Livesleywww.michaellivesley.comSeries Producers- Erica Lear and Mark HutchinsonProducers- Alan Dyebing & Stuart MorrisExecutive Producer- Mark StricksonJoin the rambling club and receive your club membership card, badges, exclusive content and access to early release episodes, an exclusive extra podcast you won't hear anywhere else and exclusive club-only perks!www.patreon.com/SlatteryLiveOfficial Website- www.tonyslattery.comTwitter/X: @SlatteryLiveInstagram: tony_slattery_officialBlueSky: @ramblingclubPaul's Threads: @paul.carmichael.1213Paul's Bluesky: @paulcarmichaeluk© Fanfaronade Productions 2026 Hosted on Acast.
