1.2 Unexpected outcome at The Shag Lab

Well, it should have been a routine coupling at London Zoo's mating laboratory (aka The Shag Lab) but something unusual happened. And once again, The Big Muddler has muscled into town with its dubious blend of 'variety entertainment'. This time we meet Cornish correspondent - and phantom flautist - Denzel Rumpo, witness the stars of soap opera Great Crustaceans winding each other up, hear about a talking dog, and listen while Matthew Crampton insists on singing music hall classic If You Were the Only Girl in the World and sharing the testimony of All the Good Times are Past and Gone. Today's advertiser is Shakespearean Endings, which helps the terminally ill to shovel off their mortal coil. Thanks to guests pianist Dorian Ford and singer Jan North (who accompanies the testimony). 

There'll be four more episodes in Series One. Want to catch this High Grade Nonsense as soon as it arrives? Then follow The Big Muddler on the service of your choice (Apple, Spotify, Youtube etc).

With thanks to Dorian Ford and Todd Landor, and in memory of the much missed Jan North.
