Our Guest President this week, leading the members Tony Slattery’s Rambling Club, is none other than television icon and Doctor Who assistant extraordinaire Sophie Aldred! Come and join in as guest President Aldred leads us on a ramble through three special destinations chosen entirely at random with the use of Tony’s enchanted bingo machine. As ever, the omniscient voice of Sir Stephen Fry is on hand to keep a hand on the lead of the Alsatian of ignorance!

First stop is destination number 779: Photographs. Sophie has seven garden sheds! Which is quite handy as she has a huge archive of photographs she’s working through. Time for a ramble through the magic of photographs as we seek an answer to the question: matt or gloss?

After that we’re off to number 733 awaits- Greek, Etruscan and Roman Sculpture. No problems for our intrepid ramblers with this one, which encounters a work of art so depraved that it features trigger warnings in the British Museum!

Number 376 is our final destination-The Education of Women. A rather pompous sounding subject, but a passionate ramble awaits, alongside a chat about the legendary Acton Hilton, the rehearsal rooms of BBC Television!


After all that it’s time to head back down the garden path to Tony’s shed, to relax after rather a packed show.

If nothing else it should offer some protection from the Nitro-9!


Tony Slattery’s Rambling Club is a free-associating conversation, involving very special guests. It drops every Friday on every podcasting outlet known to man. We’d love it if you came along for the walk. If nothing else, it’ll help you get your steps in!
