mercredi 19 novembre 2025 • Duration 38:13
In the episode known under its codename of episode 6, Tom, Craig and Mike discuss their favourite topless models - and decide whether the MGF and the BMW Z3 are worthy members of the Clangers Hall of Fame. Is Rover's cobbled together MGF greater the sum of its (Metro) parts, and was the BMW Z3 overrated?
We also discover what new crate(s) Mr Craig Cheetham has acquired this week. What larks.

Season 1 · Episode 8
mercredi 17 décembre 2025 • Duration 40:53
In the episode we've been advised by the police to call episode 8, Tom, Craig and Mike discuss the pint-sized Clangers that tugged at our heart strings. Among the tiddlers talked about are the Ford Ka, Volkswagen Lupo, Fiat Cinquecento (briefly) and the SEAT Arosa. We also discover how Tom and Craig forged a dubious connection with pop legends A-Ha and why a brown envelope with £4k in cash gave us the scoop of our careers.

Episode 9: Imprezas, EVOs, the turkey tray Volvo and the gravel trap Ghibli
Season 1 · Episode 9
dimanche 18 janvier 2026 • Duration 41:13
In the episode we're defying all logic to call episode 9, Tom, Craig and Mike discuss cars that defined performance car motoring in the late 1990s and early 2000s. The Subaru Impreza Turbo and Mitsubishi EVO took over from the hot-hatch as the ultimate sporting family cars. With supercar performance and actual rally-bred mechanicals, these beasts graced the cover of car magazines for years. This week, we also discuss the most calamitous group test ever and discover why one of Craig's old smokers had the ability to change its own oil....
And, of course, we discover what new crate(s) Mr Craig Cheetham has acquired this week. What larks.
