As usual there will be a lot of vintage Australian TV chat - including which shows they've been rewatching and we are "proud"  to share with you probably the worst Prisoner Cell Block H trivia quiz in the world; all that and we interact with the chat and answer some agony aunt letters! Our next episode, #817 is busy being edited - in fact we're doing two at once - so we're not sure which one will be out next!

Today, in episode 814, things go wrong during the recording of an April Fool's Day episode of The Yeti Spaghetti Show which was originally a test broadcast LIVE from outer space; although sadly things did not quite go to plan. However, as usual the show is introduced by Cromitty and Yeti Uncle John and their special guests are Grizzly and Charlotte! Along the way the gang experienced technology issues and some pre-recorded material was played whilst Ikk put things back together again! This material includes a previously unreleased article recorded with Paul and Toppie Smellie which was originally intended for Round The Archives, before it sadly went on hiatus. There are also some additional agony aunt recordings concerning rollerskating mice!
