Look who washed up on the beach... last summer
It’s non-other than stand up comedian, writer, podcast overlord and thoroughly lovely chap Jim Campbell!
This episode was recorded in the summer of 2019 when Jim was gearing up for his Edinburgh show Beef which received great reviews.
Jim is arguably best known for hosting the disgustingly popular (and now daily!) podcast Football Ramble, which has been topping charts for over 10 years.
The Football Ramble gang have toured the UK performing a live version of the podcast and even taken the show over-the-pond to the big old US of A.
Happy Listening…

After a bit of a wobble we’re back with another episode!
Thanks to all the DIC’s for hanging in there. Producer Adam has finally resurfaced with the vault of recordings after moving to a neighbouring island.
The castaway in this episode is award winning stand up comedian, compère extraordinaire and fellow podcaster Rich Wilson.
Rich is beloved not just in Britain’s best comedy clubs but around the globe having toured the USA, the Middle East, Australia and New Zealand where he won the best international artist award at the 2016 New Zealand comedy festival and was nominated again in 2017.
But it is back home in Blighty where our castaway is most loved. He is a stalwart of the comedy circuit and widely regarded as on of the best compères in the game, as well as being a truly lovely human. Frank Skinner describes him as “really, really funny”.
One could say that our castaway is a stand up, stand ups stand up, which is ironic because when he washed up on our beach he was sprawled out face-down, covered in crabs.

Look who’s just crawled out of the sea - it’s only Michael bloody Malarkey, the British-American actor and singer probably best known for his role as Enzo in the television series The Vampire Diaries but also starring in loads of hit US TV shows when he’s not touring all over the world with his band.
Malarkey was born in Beirut, Lebanon to an Irish American father and a British mother of Arab/Italian origin. Malarkey had his beginnings on the London stage appearing in theatre productions such as Spring Storm and Beyond the Horizon at The National Theatre and an adaptation of The Great Gatsby and in the musical Million Dollar Quartet in the role of Elvis Presley in the West End.
He spent almost a decade living and working in the UK before landing his role in The Vampire Diaries which caused him to move back to the States to focus more on TV and Film work.
Michael currently has just finished work on his second season of TV series The Oath and through a mouthful of crisps he talks to us here about his next role in the forthcoming series Project Blue Book where he stars alongside Aidan Gillen.
Let’s hope they don’t need him back anytime soon…

The First Recording.
In this bonus episode of the podcast we hear from Tom and Sam as they make their own eternity-crisp selections. The recording was made shortly after the tragic plane crash which saw the pair marooned on a small island in an endless sea.
In 2004 a Ryanair plane carrying some of Britain’s brightest acting talents and Sam Pamphilon and Tom McCall crashed somewhere in the Caribbean Sea near Puerto Rico. Luckily most of the survivors were picked up by a Japanese herring trawler but Tom and Sam where never found.
Washed up. Abandoned. Stranded…
And now the unlikely pair find themselves on a desert Island with only their conversation to keep them from going insane - that and a couple of sex dolls made from coconuts.
There are many burning questions that face humanity. Why are we here? Are we alone? What does it all mean? But none more pertinent than "What's your favourite crisp?". In fact "What are your 3 favourite crisps?"

Look who’s washed up on our shores this episode, it’s none other than actor, stand-up comedian and writer extraordinaire Aisling Bea.
If Aisling can’t find her way off this god-forsaken island the entertainment industry will grind to a complete standstill…
The Ch4 commissioned series she’s writing with Emmy nominated Sharon Horgan won’t get written.
8 Out Of 10 Cats will be looking for a new team captain. Show’s like Qi (BBC1), Taskmaster (Dave), 8 Out of Ten Cats Does Countdown (Ch4), James Corden’s A League of Their Own (Sky), The Big Fat Quiz of Everything (Ch4), @Midnight (Comedy Central) and The Last Leg (Ch4) will be sending out search parties for their missing regular guest.
She’ll miss her first Netflix special which airs in August.
Accolades like the the prestigious So You Think You’re Funny? award and the British Comedy Award for Best Female TV Comedian will just be gathering dust on her mantlepiece.
The producers of Live At The Apollo (BBC1), The Stand Up To Cancer Great British Bakeoff (Ch4), The Jonathan Ross Show (ITV), Would I Lie To You? (BBC1), Insert Name Here (BBC), Never Mind The Buzzcocks (BBC), Sunday Brunch (Ch4), Russell Howard’s Good News (BBC3) and Ch4’s live 9 hour Alternative Live Election will be thanking their lucky stars that she appeared on their shows before she went AWOL.
We could go on, but we won’t. Instead we’ll just talk about crisps for about an hour…

For several days the island has been battered by a powerful storm causing all manner of debris to wash up on the beach including British actor, writer and producer Nick Blood. Nick is well known for his roll of Lance Hunter in Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Before he hit Hollywood, Nick had a string of roles on UK TV, including Trollied, Misfits, Him & Her and the police satire Babylon. Nick is no stranger to Theatre. He made his professional stage debut in The Priory as Adam, at the Royal Court Theatre. He went on to perform as Sordido in the modern adaptation of the Jacobean tragedy Women Beware Women at The National Theatre. In 2011, he appeared in Backbeat which told the story of the formation and early years of The Beatles. With a string of feature films in development and in production right now it’s clear Nick’s agent will be keen to rescue him from the Island as soon as possible (insert Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D joke here) Until then…. lets talk about crisps baby.

He is probably best known and respected as the presenter of his Channel 5 television series ‘RAD’ and ‘RAD The Groms Tour’ which ran for 10 years and won him and the channel their first BAFTA in the Best Entertainment category. Christian is also a highly respected DJ. He has amassed a huge fan base from his days at Kerrang and XFM as well as DJing and hosting major events all over the world. Christian is ALSO heavily involved in the world of Freesports and gaming. He has hosted Red Bull X Fighters and the Ski and Snow board show and was heavily instrumental in the scripting and soundtrack of the game "Dirt 2" and subsequently featured as a character in "Dirt 3”. Oh, and he also made his acting debut starring in the film “Chalet Girl” alongside Bill Nighy and Brooke Shields. Seems a shame that such a talented man is now destined to a life of solitude with just his three favourite crisps to keep him company.
