Terry brings some romance to your ears and tells you all about the love fiction of Veronica Lashford-Burns. This is the first of three parts detailing the story of how Max and Terry adapted romance fiction for the medium screen. It also demonstrates that Terry has been watching just a little too much Scandinavian crime drama.

The super secret reason why there have been so few podcasts remains a mystery for now but keep subscribed and all will be revealed. If we can sort a few things out.

We've been on our hols again but fear not, we've not forgotten you. Terry takes you back to Shepshed this week in a brief but intriguing look at our lives as media consultants. Shepshed was a chip shop loving copper with a rough exterior and an even rougher interior and it was our job to bring some life and magic to the world of crime and mushy peas.

This week Max and Terry get a letter about kids immune systems which inspires them into discussing other horrors – the kind they made as films in the 70s!

They reminisce about such classics as The Horse with No Neck! & Teacher's Pest! - a frightening school set film where Jeff Cheggs (Keith Chegwin’s less famous Brother Jeffrey) played a pupil affected by the Devil’s element, Sulphur!

This inspires them to create a new horror film set in the Fens around Max's home town of Newendyke, CURSES!

Max and Terry get all festive in this special Christmas edition of the Podcast where we learn how to improve the News on Christmas Day.

Max also recalls a witty story he used to tell each Christmas about a Scrooge like Film Producer, before he & Terry discuss Christmas Specials (such as why not bring back variety shows or how to improve the festive edition of Eastenders). Max also treats us to his classic Christmas single from the early 70s plus an incredible impression of Graham Norton.

In it, up and coming film makers will learn that not all the budget needs to appear on the screen, how else will the crew look good?

Max and Terry get inspired by the gift of a Fish Finger cookery book and create a new Celebrity Game Show to find which Celeb can put on the best Buffet.
