The Exciting Hellebore Shew: Rambling Special
Pilfering through the voices of today’s logicians… First Broadcast on October 23, 2003.
- Begins with nose-picking complaint, instructing listeners not to listen to the Hellebore Shew.
- ‘Bring me a hail of slow-motion on a plate please (followed by the aerial bombardment of your head)’ – Ray Stispozeille, an atempt to subvert the ‘think before you talk’ ethic. Unintentionally tedious.
- Commentary: The rights and wrongs of tape-dropping fodder.
- Ripe, Ripe Vegetable
- Intermission by poet and musician Mr Legge, in which he interrupts his own performance with an ad-hoc poetry one-man convention.
- Makeover – recorded betwixt the 20th and 21st centuries in Hertfordshire.

Hooting Yard: Curd
Back in the days of Stalin, it was a brave soul who mocked the Comintern. Uncle Joe and his myrmidons tended to get attacks of the vapours when ridiculed.

For one thing, she mocked the Comintern from the comparative safety of a radio shack hidden in a village in the English fens, which she pronounced “fence”.
This fun-packed episode of Hooting Yard was first broadcast on the 26th January 2004.

“Geb. Hapi. Anubis. Khnum. Ra. These are gods. They are not toys or trinkets, plastic figurines or dolls made out of scraps of wool or straw. They are gods. Maat. Aten. Sekhmet. Hathor. Horus. These too are gods. Mighty, imperious gods. Geb is the Great Cackler, Hapi the Father of the Gods, Anubis the Jackal, Khnum the Lord of the Cool Waters, Ra the Sun God, Maat the Goddess of Truth, Aten the Lord of All, Sekhmet the Mighty One, Hathor the Mistress of Heaven and Horus He Who Is Above. Bow down before them for they are powerful deities.”
