Hello Shite

Marc and Edward declare war on the obscure in this episode, by cruelly mocking a weak - and largely forgotten - Channel 4 documentary series from the 1990s. 'The Next Big Thing' follows the fortunes of top indie-style band FMB: from gigging in London's fashionable Islington (and supporting erstwhile rock behemoths Guns N' Wankers), all the way to the 1993 Reading Festival. There are ups and downs for Hello Shite's hosts too. Due to the long gap between episodes, Marc introduces Edward to his replacement - before setting out on the road to chock out some serious power chords...

Hello Shite’s listeners’ ghost stories. Recorded live. At Halloween. In a haunted location. With a séance. There were technical difficulties, a drunk presenter, a 1986 Sam Fox calendar – and a lot of weirdness.

The first of our Halloween specials: in which Edward and Marc fondly remember Stephen Volk's remarkable 1992 mockumentary Ghostwatch – on its 25th anniversary! Expect shell suits, Ade Edmondson impressions, gloryholes, professional Yorkshiremen, curtain lurking, drawn-on willies, cupboard capering – and, of course, scattered dog foetuses! Mr. Pipes will see you now…
