Episode 218
Bloopers, Blunders & BACS
Show broadcast on 5 May 2018
It was everyone's favourite type of show this week: The fabled 'giddy' show. Classic. In a week where Elis James became the focus of many a PCD meme-maker, the lads took to the airwaves with panache and a firm eye on the blooper reel. John gives an impassioned monologue on education and Elis defends his favourite films. All this plus the Humblebrags, Paper Review and shame-a-plenty.
John's introduction of Elis
"To my left, a star of the screen: the presenter of 5 Star's 'Greatest Ever Movie Blunders', which, in a vaulting three-star review, the Daily Mail calls "amiable" and "a good choice" while the Radio Times opts for the more straight-forward "New series where Elis James points out mistakes in movies.""
