41. Cannon(s) Through The Ages (The Galloping Major)

Published: April 8, 2020, 5 a.m.

b"We open this week after a very exciting trip to Taco Bell (the official restaurant of podcasts, according to Em at least) and a question around the plural of cannon. Or is it cannons? We're discussing an absolutely delightful episode, starring Leslie Philips (ding dong!) as a flaky arms dealer and Harry Landis as an argumentative yet apologetic old gent, as we see an Anxious Tinker and Lovejoy flirts with a magnificent lady mullet. Grab a cup of tea, or a glass of wine, and settle down with us to learn all about the 17th century equivalent of those magic eye pictures from the 90s, the point of paperweights and just what the difference is between bricks and cats. The original Lovejoy episode was written by Terry Hodgkinson and directed by Baz Taylor. Antique of the Week: Anamorphic pictures and a mummified rat."
