What can be done about a BBC announcer who has gone over to the dark side? Find out this week as we welcome Heather Wainwright, co-host and beating heart of the ever-popular RetroTube podcast, who popped along to talk about the absolute stone cold classic The Phantom Head Shaver (of Brighton). As Nugent Dirt enters the annals of criminology as the Phantom’s first victim and Wallace Greenslade’s tobacco business begins to thrive, so this taut 30-minute thriller builds to a nail-biting climax with barely a dry seat left in the house. We examine the episode, along the way taking many conversational detours and ask the really BIG questions: What man can tame Minnie Bannister? Was Tom Cruise the Phantom Barber of Mississippi? Why is Seagoon a ‘big div’? Who WAS that heavyset bus driver? How exactly did Ellington the Hamster meet his end? Why did Sellers forget Ruxton Hayward? Just how cuddly is John Thaw? These questions and many others are barely answered in this week’s show – tune in now!
