Sundays as a kid were synonymous with shows like 'The Waltons' and 'Little House on the Prairie', teaching us about family values and being good. 'The Wonder Years' came along later and 'That's Life' spanned two decades. Meanwhile, Bill Cosby was hiding his true nature behind the upstanding Cliff Huxtable, doing his stupid little dance in his Fred Talbot sweater.

We examine some of Britain’s most baffling unsolved murders, where the perpetrators have somehow got away with it. Was the mysterious ‘Mr Kipper’ who met estate agent Suzy Lamplugh on the day she disappeared someone already known to the police? And could the foster father of 13-year-old Billie-Jo Jenkins really have bludgeoned her during a three-minute window of opportunity?

We look at faded fame and track down the familiar names we just don’t see any more. Maybe they've finally got a 'proper' job or become a bad-tempered recluse. Or are they still flogging their celebrity status online or in demeaning daytime telly ads and panto?

We celebrate the Oscar-sweeping classic, featuring one of cinema’s great battles: Jack Nicholson’s rebellious McMurphy versus Louise Fletcher’s chilling Nurse Ratched. With an outstanding ensemble cast, we explore the film’s long road to production and its enduring themes of freedom, conformity and institutional control.

We explore the strange world of doppelgängers—from celebrity lookalikes and historical doubles to bizarre claims that famous musicians have been secretly replaced by their uncanny twins.

Nobody was crying for Argentina at the end of the World Cup Final but why did England act like they were defending The Falklands all over again, choosing to park HMS not-so-Invincible?

From Hootie & The Blowfish and Counting Crows to the whole Yacht Rock genre, we look into those bands people often love but would think twice about wearing the T-shirt. Is the ridicule justified or is it just performative musical snobbery?

We’re as high as Harry Kane’s voice went after England overcame adversity at the Azteca but can we stop Haaland? VAR and Infantino are doing their best to ruin it all but at least Brazil and Ladyboy Ronaldo have been sent packing.

We dissect the over-saturated world of rushed-out, ghost-written celebrity autobiographies, where pun-heavy titles are obligatory and there's more filler than Katie Price's face. Another reason to hate Christmas.

With the World Cup being overshadowed by shameless corporate greed, it's the perfect time for a right old moan about the state of live events where the typical 'fan experience' is getting fleeced to stand on a concrete floor with a crap view.

An offence-filled episode on the status of Brian Blessed, Michael Barrymore and Richard Madeley, with a few honourable mentions along the way. Are they beloved British icons or have they let themselves and the nation down.

The future has been cancelled and we're left with the eerie afterlife of what could have been, retro culture and the ghost of Mark Fisher. We're living in a time out of place where Capitalism has won and A.I. is preparing to kill us but at least we've got Scarfolk to make us all feel better.

We kick off with Raoul Moat, whose jealousy and hatred of the police led to senseless murder and had him hiding out in the woods where he almost encountered Gazza. Then we track other scum who tried to make a break for it, like Constance Marten and her absolute turd of a boyfriend, before heading down the freeway with America’s most infamous scumbag.

An odd pod, this -starting with despicable scum like Cyril Smith and Clement Freud, then drifting into childhood tales of dodgy locals and unhinged teachers, stumbling across discarded dirty mags, and the ridiculous lengths we went to just to watch a proper porno.

A look back at the glory days of Pringle jumpers and Slazenger Sport deodorant, celebrating excitable Emlyn, brawny Bill and Beefy Botham, once touted as a movie action hero before settling for those crap daytime adverts about his knackered legs.
