The Big Shops

60s pop, things that scare Gary, and Derek's traumatic, pre-show, event.

We recast The Godfather with the Carry On gang, tell you about Gary chatting to bus drivers, and tell you what the best films were of the 1960s. Quite possibly the greatest podcast ever made.

We look at one of the worst top 40 charts in history, plus other nonsense. 

I think the title says it all.

More of the same. You didn't want it, but here it is.

Stick with it. It gets better.

Best Christmas films, songs and Nanny Flo's box. Nuff said.

Nobody would believe... plus the six-week holidays, the films of 1984, and... you know...

Does Spike Milligan still hold up, do you remember Geoff Love and his Orchestra, and how bad a year was 1975 for music? 

Derek has his football rant edited out, and Gary saves the day.  Plus telly from 1979.Here is a link to our next does it stand up, if you want to watch along.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gvCh174-BLI

Is there such a thing as a perfect film?  Of course not.  Plus, do you remember and a very strange chart.

The lost episode.  The summer special.  The weakest effort in a long while.

We talk Pen Pals, Nicknames, and the lovely Nanci Griffith.  Oh yes, and the greatest year in pop!

A whole year of TV from 1978

Gary shows off his football punditry and Derek opines about bears that are hairy and go around like bananas.

A top 40 from 1981.  Nuff said.

We ask the big questions this time.  Were Vic and Bob really any good?  Did Fonzy wear flares?  And is okay to kiss a vibrator?

The second part of this Ep and we talk PE kits, Pop Star crushes, and TV from the 70s.  So, nothing new, eh?

This ep we talk Monkey Magic and Live Aid.  We also explain our new schedule, due to Derek's new job and Gary's Blasphemy trial. 

After our mini winter break, we are back.Short pants, how many albums Derek owned in 1986, and why Michael Grade is a bad man, are all discussed in our latest episode.Enjoy!

its a Christmas miracle!  All the tele and chart chat for Christmas 1982.

Christmas grub.  We all love it, but how did it play out over the festive period (ooh er.)  The Priest boys look back at what we ate from Christmas Eve to Boxing Day. 

This part is for all you ITV fans

There is so much meaty goodness in this episode we had to put it out in two parts.  Enjoy!

Derek finds out what pop culture is, or does he?  Chart Magic and we fill some holes.

Just how "rapey" were the 70s?  We talk The Professionals, Mrs Slocombes pussy, and playing for Accrington Stanley.

Listen in for the worst Rigsby Impression, an all female Carry On Casting, and Gary knows his 60s music

We are back...ish.  We talk Buffy, Sunday TV from the 80s, and we finally find out who is the best reader and who has the best memory.

We fill some more holes, Gaz tells a non tearful story of work related incompetence, more Dolly Birds, and we look at a top 40 from 1989.Have at it!

Pulp Fiction as you have never seen it before.  Dolly Birds and Dishy Dudes, and TV from 1979.You are welcome.

One for the Dolly Birds fan, this time.  Plus Derek tells his worst story yet, and Gary goes all UKIP

What would the Towering Inferno be like if Syd James was in charge of Fire Safety and Kenny Lynch was head of security?  We have the answers.  Plus a Bromance so hot this nearly went out an NC 17

We talk Martin and Lewis, Top forties from 1985, Gary's lost loves, and why are all those Geordies in Germany?

More Bromances, Derek tells his best RnB story, More Telly Talk, and we go back to 1977 for The Rock Follies and Talking Heads.

More Pubs, Parks, and Pickled Onions this week, plus the eagerly awaited Carry On Casting, and the not so eagerly awaited Top 40 run-down.Enjoy!

I never knew there was so much in it!The Park, Pub, and Pickled Onion game that is sweeping the nation, fights for room with a classic Bromance, and The TV Genome.The second part of our bumper 6th edition.

This time it is a bumper edition of Half Pee Chat.  So much so, we have put the episode out in two parts.In the first part we read out all your emails, Derek takes on Paul Macca McCartney in a song writing competition, and Gary works his loaf.The second half of this episode should be in your feed within minuets of this one.

More Pub Game high jinx, We try to quit you, and another days TV

After another lengthy delay we are back.  Go on, you know you want to.

New theme tune, new features, its all change as we are still finding our feet here at Half Pee Chat.

Welcome to the newish show, HP Chat.  Something new and, hopefully, something familiar too.

It is the end of the road for the A to Z of the Ock.  And just as you would expect we go out with a whimper rather than a bang.  But out of the ashes comes the greatest ever game known to Mice or Men.  The Ockendon Pub Game.We salute you South Ockendon.

it is T Time.  Maybe a silly T.We talk telephone boxes, TOTS, the OG TG, and much more.

We try to take a more serious tone, as we talk Scouts, Shaw School, and the State.Come and join us for a couple of hours of nonsense.

We are back already.  We scrape the bottom of the barrel of both Q and R.  Gaz talks record shopping and Del talks nonsense.

We are back.  Did you miss us?  For a change, quite a lot of Ockendon chat.  

We talk hospitals, open days and odds and sods.  It aint pretty, but we just about squeak through.

We talk North Ockendon conspiracy theories, two faced nans, and we noggin our nogs. 

The Thames, The Nile, The Ganges,.. We talk about the last of the great rivers - The Mardyke.  Plus all the usual stuff and nonsense.
