Cuthbert is on hand to help, but we also have a brief chat recorded recently with Paul, Nick and Toppie Smellie about restoring and preserving old tapes! Thanks to everyone who sent me their tapes so many years ago - I bet you never expected them to appear on a podcast in 2023! Our next show, #608 sees us coming face to face with Coconut Jim - on more than one occasion... And it's all very odd! Thankfully Uncle Warren is on hand to try and make sense of this encounter!

The actual archive audio clips were originally recorded somewhere between 1988 and 1992 Please note: Due to the age of these audio tapes - the sound quality is a little faded in places but should be perfectly listenable if you're not an overly fussy audio snob. Thank you.
