  • Rhys Thomas Returns!

    Rhys Thomas Returns!
    Apr 6 2026
    Our guest this week is the returning fan favourite, the comedian, director, writer and actor - Rhys Thomas. His last appearance on the podcast was one of the highlights of last year and yet we’d barely scraped the surface. So we had to have him back! We talk rabies, piranhas, ghosts and more in this sprawling medley of scars. For over 30 years, Rhys has been making, and starring in, some of the UK’s most inventive comedy, picking up BAFTA, Emmy and Royal Television Awards along the way. He’s appeared in shows such as The Fast Show, Sirens and Star Stories and he’s also the creator of Dodger, The Kemps and the character Brian Pern, along with countless others.

Instead of being a tongue-in-cheek nostalgia trip, the content is discussed and approached in a serious but entertaining way, taking in a fascinating period of mixed media and looking at the society and environment that created it and the impact it has had on subsequent generations. A great listen.

Engaging and conversation-starting

Wonderful show, on the back of the amazing books that the chaps patiently and lovingly put together. Their energy and passion comes across so well. The guests are great.
If you're a child of the 70s/80s this is an absolute must. It's a lovely trip down memory lane that turns into the highway to hell as we look back at the terrifying culture of yesteryear! Do have nightmares!

A nostalgic reopening of old wounds

Love everything about this, thanks guys. Especially Alice Lowe and Peter Serafinowicz. Keep bringing them out, PLEEEEASE.

People talked about Jan Svankmajer, Czech God of scarring, and check out Down in the Cellar if you haven’t seen it. Our parents used to show it to us for the lols. Never have potatoes looked so sinister.

Creepy and lovely

The flow of conversation works really well and no podcast is the same. I’m going to buy the books now after listening to these podcasts and will probably (most likely) listen again. Perfect of you’re 40+ and want to remise about life as a child in the 80’s and 90’s when we had a lot more freedom and adventures.

A great listen and brought back some things I had wiped from my memory
