      That shit medium is James Byrne, and, according to his website, hasn't done a stage show in nine years. He's currently begging for funds on GoFundMe to pay for a new car to help him to get about in his vocation.

      I discovered Talk Radio back in the mid 90s myself. I bought an old pocket radio at a jumble sale and Talk Radio was one of the few channels I could pick up! I used to love James Whale and Cesar. I even wrote to the station and got autographed photos of most of the presenters.

    25:15 Yeah, thanks for that. When I was a child I had the Usborne Book of Ghosts, and that photo used to scare the ABSOLUTE SHITE out of me. So much so I memorised the page number and deliberately skipped that page every time. In fact the whole book traumatised me so much that after a while I got my parents to hide the book from me so I couldn't see it. The trauma just came flooding back instantly on seeing that photo just now.

    I just remember Whale from when he would have lesbians on his radio show
    and it was supposed to be lewd, sexy, but... it wasn't. It was just two women
    being normal, punctuated by Whale saying, "Do you know... I reckon that we're
    _all_ bisexual. I do. I really do." Then he would go on about his wife for a bit.

    I'm sure I've read that the most common house number is 3. Roads with less than 3 houses don't tend to number the houses, they have names. Also some roads with numbers will have the first house or two named (developers may have built a couple of more expensive houses at the end and name them to show they are different.)
    And obviously he didn't rule out the three being part of a two digit number.

    I remember video recording this show on a Friday evening, to watch in the afternoon the next day, largely because I'd just got a new video recorder for myself, and I wanted to use it to record something that was on late at night. Having watched a few episodes of it, I eventually didn't bother recording it and just watched it live instead. Being one of those post-pub type shows shown on late Friday nights, I think it kind of helps to have imbibed a few drinks prior to watching. Watching it cold, stone sober soon highlighted it's flaws. The subject matter in most shows was rather mediocre, only being interspersed with the odd humorous performance/act. (Mr. Methane being one I particularly remember, being able to fart at will, (poor Will), to the effect of doing renditions of songs. Or, at least, the brass section of them. There was also one Charlie Chuck, who looked like Noddy Holder's long lost Dad, who obviously had some mental issues, who'd do a monologue, whilst holding a piece of one by two wood, of something having happened to him and loudly insert the word, 'Monkey', in, for no apparent reason, stating, 'there's nowt wrong with me.'
