It can only be a delight to hear a knock at the shed door and discover that the legendary Ted Robbins is stood there, ready to ramble! Pull your boots on, get outside and come for a ramble with us as President Robbins leads us to a very special destination, chosen entirely at random with the use of Tony’s enchanted bingo machine. As ever, the omniscient voice of Sir Stephen Fry is on hand to keep a firm hand on the tiller of toss!

Our only destination this week is 440: Romance Languages (French). Well it doesn’t take long for this to go off topic, and you can discover exactly how Terry Nutkins lost several fingers! Luckily Ted is not also a remarkable comedian, but he’s very knowledgeable as well. A fascinating ramble through Ted’s own story as well as both Rabbie Burns and Shakespeare is on the cards!

Then before you know it, we’re back in the shed. However that’s not all as Ted worked with our lovely and much-missed Tony Slattery back in the day. That means it’s time to share some memories and stories of our fabulous guest President!

If nothing else it’ll keep you from sticking your fingers in any otters.

Tony Slattery’s Rambling Club is a free-associating conversation, involving very special guests. It drops every Friday on every podcasting outlet known to man. We’d love it if you came along for the walk. If nothing else, it’ll help you get your steps in!

From law graduate to presenter of the legendary Play School to running the remarkable charity Mama Biashara, working with Kenyan women who face extreme poverty, could there be a better person to ramble with other than this weeks Guest President…Kate Copstick!

Join us for a ramble as guest President Manning leads us on a ramble through three special destinations (stopping briefly at the Top Of The Pops studio) chosen entirely at random with the use of Tony’s enchanted bingo machine. As ever, the omniscient voice of Sir Stephen Fry is on hand to keep a hand on the recliner of ridiculousness!

First stop is destination number 372: Elementary Education. Well you would be right to assume that a former presenter of Play School has some strong views on this subject…though maybe not the ones you would expect!

After that number 625 awaits- Engineering Of Railroads. Where will thoughts of trains lead our team? To Kenya, is the answer, as Kate tells all about her remarkable charity Mama Biashara. You can find out more by following the links below…

Number 722 is our final destination- English Drama. A subject you would imagine would cause no consternation for our ramblers. Well…

After all that it’s time to head back down the garden path to Tony’s shed, to relax after what is a very interesting ramble.

Who’s that lurking outside the shed? Why it’s none other than Mitch Benn, joining us to ramble through two special destinations chosen entirely at random with the use of Tony’s enchanted bingo machine. As always, the omniscient voice of Sir Stephen Fry is on hand to keep an eye on the ripple of rubbish!

First stop is destination number 216. Here’s a strange one: No Longer Used- Formerly Evil! Excellent. Confusing and terrifying all in one. Stand by for tales of gigs and a rather large amount of Columbian marching powder!

Then we’re off to 776- Computer Art. A controversial subject with some controversial views, as you might expect!

After all that it’s time to head back down the garden path to Tony’s shed…but it’s not all over yet. The chat never ends, as you’ll see here…

Hi-De-Hi Ramblers! Yes, our guest President this week, leading the members of Tony Slattery’s Rambling Club on their weekly wander, is none other that the legend that is Su Pollard!

Join us as guest President Marsan leads us on a ramble through two special destinations chosen entirely at random with the use of Tony’s enchanted bingo machine. As ever, the omniscient voice of Sir Stephen Fry is on hand to keep a finger on the button of bullshit!

First stop is destination number 129: The Origin & Destiny of Individual Souls. An opportunity to philosophise about the human condition arises for our intrepid explorers.

Then we’re off to 012- Biographies of Individuals (except it isn’t. Mr.Carmichael needs to remember to put his reading glasses on. Too late now!) Tales of Hi-De-Hi, Perry and Croft and Don Estelle await you in this ramble that takes us behind the scenes of some of the most loved sitcoms ever made in Britain.

After all that it’s time to head back down the garden path to Tony’s shed, where the kettle is bubbling away, ready to provide a relaxing brew after quite the ramble.

If nothing else it’ll keep you out of the beady eyeline of Miss Cathcart!

A knock on the door of the Presidential shed and an offer to step foot in the Boxing ring?

What can this all mean?

Well, our Guest President this week, leading the members Tony Slattery’s Rambling Club, is none other than star of the screen, both big and small, Eddie Marsan!

Come and join in as guest President Marsan leads us on a ramble through three special destinations chosen entirely at random with the use of Tony’s enchanted bingo machine. As ever, the omniscient voice of Sir Stephen Fry is on hand to keep a hand on the lead of the Alsatian of ignorance!

First stop is destination number 305: Social Groups. This could well be the chance for a call to arms and a demand for change in the world of theatre!

After that number 663 awaits- Beverage Technology. It really doesn’t take the team long to realise they know very little on this subject, however a few behind the scenes secrets from Ted Lasso make up for that!

Number 815 is our final destination- Speeches. This one provides no problems whatsoever!

After all that it’s time to head back down the garden path to Tony’s shed, to relax after rather a packed show.

If nothing else it beats doing a few rounds in the ring!

Our Guest President this week, leading the members Tony Slattery’s Rambling Club, is none other than Graham Seed, actor and star of The Archers! Come and join in as guest President Seed leads us on a ramble through three special destinations chosen entirely at random with the use of Tony’s enchanted bingo machine, as well as reflecting on his remarkable career. As ever, the omniscient voice of Sir Stephen Fry is on hand to keep a firm hand on the battleship of bemusement!

First stop is destination number 641: Food & Drink. A nice easy subject, but it doesn’t take that long for everything to become rather lavatorial!

After that we take a stroll toward 937: The History of the Ancient World-Italy and adjacent Territories. Hmm…if only we had an actor from the famous I Claudius to hand…

Then number 367 awaits- General Clubs. Aside from the Rambling Club, is there any other club to belong to

After all that it’s time to head back down the garden path to Tony’s shed, to take it easy and reflect on how well placed that trampoline was! But will Paul manage to avoid bringing up Crossroads…?

If nothing else it’ll fill the weekend whilst this damned heat continues!

Two guest Presidents? Well why not! Joining us this week we have both Robin Ince and James Felton! Can the bingo machine, as ever soothing the way with its voice which isn’t entirely unreminiscent of Sir Stephen Fry, cope with transporting four ramblers into the great outdoors?

First stop is destination number 494: Altaic, Uralic, Hyperborean, Dravidian languages. Well could it be that the bingo machine is playing a trick as Allan is convinced they’ve wandered down that pathway once before! That certainly doesn’t stop our ramblers.

After that surely the machine will be kind to us with her next selection?

886: Not Used. Hmm…well, let’s see what they manage to do with that!

After all that it’s time to head back down the garden path to Tony’s shed, to get the kettle on and give those legs a rest.

If nothing else it’s better than a kick up t’pants!

After all that it’s time to head back down the garden path to Tony’s shed, to relax after rather a packed show.
