The Whole Damn Show Retrospective

Episode 65

Sunday 28 December 2025

In (slightly late) honour of the 44th anniversary of Gauda Prime day, we’ve reconvened to look back on the series as a whole. The gang’s all here, except for Mark who’s holding the door open for us when we’re ready to leave. He’ll be fine.

Join us as we pit our heroes together in a series Death-Watch matches, chuck Nation, Boucher, Maloney and Lorrimer into a slave pit on Ursa Prime with nothing but a nappy full of mangan to defend themselves, and finally decide once and for all that the Michelin Man suits were an act of high dramatic design.

We also discuss how Blake’s 7 might be brought back (and if it should be), which GIFs have been the most appreciated, and our own highlights from four years of making this podcast. And if that sounds too soppy, don’t worry: we also have the traditional jokes about ropey direction, puzzling acting choices, and genitalia.

Thanks for 65 wonderful eps, folks. Be seeing you.
