Send us a text We've just had the Oscars and in timely fashion Russ & Mark take the opportunity to audit a Hollywood Special of Tomorrow's World from the summer of 1998, the worst year for cinema in living memory. Grab your bucket of popcorn and overpriced fizzy pop, sit back in your sticky seat and relax while Philippa Forrester and Craig Doyle bring us the following from the

Send us a text Russ & Mark look back to January 1985, when Ronald Reagan had his second presidential inauguration - an event with many similarities to Trump's recent one. This episode of Tomorrow's World from just a few days before strives to keep us warm and cosy on a chilly winter night with the following segments: Maggie Philbin tests out a new electric blanket, plus electri

Send us a text Russ & Mark finally tackle the big beast that they have previously avoided - the classic Tomorrow's World Christmas Quiz. Hosted, as ever, by Howard Stableford, it's a lovely lump of festive fun. Obviously there's the usual crew of Judith Hann, Peter Macann and Maggie Philbin, but because it's Christmas we've also got Moira Stuart, Keith Chegwin, George Takei and

Send us a text We all need cheering up sometimes don't we? And what better way to do that than for your auditors to dig out a brand new tune from the burgeoning Michael Rodd songbook? Sadly, it seems no good deed goes unpunished as the rest of this episode is an absolute dog's breakfast. Feel free to switch off after the opening song - but if you don't, here's what else you can exp

Send us a text We all remember the famous Ronald Reagan speech where he implored "Mr. Hasselhoff, tear down this wall!" But what wall was he talking about? The Berlin Wall of course! And it turns out that Big Ronnie's wishes were granted 35 years ago this very day (if you're listening on day of release). In order to celebrate this classic toppling event, your auditors travel even f

Send us a text As far as TV sitcoms go, no single episode of anything has made Russ laugh more than series 1, episode 2 of Bottom - the one where the gas man turns up. So to commemorate this perfect half hour of television, your auditors take a look at the episode of Tomorrow's World broadcast just two days prior. It's the first in a new series and marks the very start of the 90s "

Send us a text For only the second time ever, your auditors take a special look at an episode handpicked by one of their very favourite people - an actual paying subscriber. Steve wrote to us claiming that he remembered Howard's first ever appearance on Tomorrow's World with a level of clarity and detail that seems humanly impossible for a live programme last seen 39 years ago. So

Send us a text No doubt you're all glued to your televisions, cheering on highly trained athletes performing incredible physical feats in events of which you only have the vaguest understanding. Yes, the Olympics are on at the moment - and rather than listening to the pointless TV commentary, why not stick on our very special Olympic-themed episode of the podcast for a veritable bi

Send us a text As the nation prepares to go to the polls, Russ & Mark journey back a mere 23 years to the last episode of Tomorrow's World to coincide with a UK General Election to see if things have only got better. Hosting in the studio, Peter Snow has forgotten his swingometer - but luckily Philippa Forrester is also there to set off our schwingometers, as she visits Wales t

Send us a text To celebrate the podcast reaching the Big 4-0, Russ and Mark audit a very special episode of Tomorrow's World broadcast on the day that the Channel Tunnel opened - exactly 30 years ago today.
