The first recording today starts with the end of some Diddy Dick and Dom.
There’s a trailer for Desperados.
Then, there’s an episode of Raven: The Secret Temple. My kids used to love this show. But I almost fell out of my seat when I noticed that Raven’s arch enemy Nevar (clever wordplay there) is played by The Unknown from that Glasgow Willy Wonka thing. I mean look at him.
