We chat to Alex Skerratt, a friend of Lizzie's who not only writes the Sooty and Sweep show, but whose life has been intertwined with Emmerdale since the 80s! From growing up in real-life Hotten to living with an Emmerdale scriptwriter, Alex shares his Emmerdale memories, as well as behind-the-scenes insights into the writing process and how the show has changed over time.
After quickly debriefing the highlights of Simon's 40th birthday party, we talk about the 3 recent special episodes of Emmerdale as well as expressing our frustrations at everyone gaslighting Eve, discussing why Ray and Celia's horrible barn accommodation has better interior design choices than most other Emmerdale properties, and wondering which new young male character is secretly Kev's son.
We relucantly address the April/Dylan misery-fest, but not for long... cos we are swept away by our favourite new house share, which cast members we'd talk to, and the return of Lydia Watch! Do get in touch at dinglealltheway.pod@gmail.com - we love hearing from you.
Cain is spiralling and, in many ways, so are we. As well as discussing the latest highs and lows (mainly lows) in Emmerdale Village, we also had the chance to interview Waseem Mirza, who appeared on the show this month, about his experience on the Emmerdale set!
It's a crossover special babyyyy! Today, Simon and Lizzie are joined by the very funny Sunshine and Scooter from the Robron Podcast - to talk the history of Robron, our favourite and least favourite Robron moments, and what we hope for the future. Do get in touch at dinglealltheway.pod@gmail.com
In our most hectic and tangenty episode yet, we talk about the release of Bunker Boy, the latest Robron developments, and the time Lizzie walked past Ned Porteous in Leeds. Simon also has a complete inability to say the phrase 'Hotten Bypass Crash'. This may be the first and last time we attempt to record an episode after 10.30pm. Get in contact - we'd love to hear from you! dinglealltheway.pod@gmail.com
John and Aaron's cliff plunge! Mack's eternal bunker and eternal candles! Sweet Kammy doing his best and it's useless!

We go back to one of the biggest stories in #Robron history (even though Robert wasn't on the scene) - when Aaron comes out as gay to his father figure Paddy. Simon saw it at the time; Lizzie is coming fresh to it. We discuss the emotions, the tears, and the neglected bedside sandwich.
It's a SPECIAL - nay, an EMERGENCY - episode, as Robert and Aaron finalllyyyy reunite.

In the first bonus episode featuring a classic episode/story, Lizzie and Simon look back at arguably the biggest moment in Emmerdale's history: the 1993 plane crash! We simply don't know who most of these people are and we could barely see a thing, but we loved exploring Emmerdale's history (RIP fake sheep).

Our latest musings on Emmerdale village, including an expert guest opinion the the slurry-in-the-lake storyline, some now potentially-irrelevant opinions about Gabby and Vinny's relationship given Friday 13th's episode, and Simon laughing so much that his laptop and everything on his desk comes crashing to the floor.
