I was going to bring this up in Pork (or “Brett’s Special Moment” as Josh and I have now renamed it) but we ran out of time…
You may remember back in episode 155 we talked about Louis Theroux, who is now (rather belatedly) playing on Channel 7. They seem to have bought an enormous package of Theroux, covering everything from his first Weird Weekends series running through to his later stand-alone pieces. Well, if you think too much Theroux is barely enough, there’s a book you can read as well…
The woman who played Diana in V, starred in Falcon Crest and Mission: Impossible, appeared in Murder She Wrote, Fantasy Island… The Wonderful Jane Badler is our guest.
We also speak about Sons of Anarchy, there’s some letters to Boxcutters and a bit of news and pork.
