Hallmark of Greatness: Recent Episodes
Hallmark of Greatness
"This is the way the podcast ends
Not with a bang but a whimper"
And with that kids, we are done. After nearly 200 episodes we have decided to call it a day. For purely altruistic reasons and not for reasons we cannot discuss.
So thank you all for listening throughout the years.
Do Not Delete The Feed.
Something is coming, in the darkness.
It cannot be seen, or stopped.
This is the link to the Petition we mention at the start about one chode getting his pants in a bunch about a book so go sign it and don't let these pricks tell you how to live.

We are once again somehow in the Craig Charles Universe as we dive headlong into the 2000 C Channel 5 show "Jailbreak" which is sort of like if Big Brother watched The Great Escape while very very drunk.
Contestants have to escape from a fake prison by solving clues so esoteric its baffling. But you can win 100 grand so that's nice.
watch the whole glorious thing here yeah?
https://youtu.be/slUeKg-zbRA?si=07zPIvujtjHs34RZ
This week we are joined by the fantastic Silent Mark, the worlds last true Renaissance man to take us through a bit of a forgotten British comedy gem, 2005's Dead Man Weds written by Dave Spikey and starring him and Johnny Vegas in a sort of earlier, better version of The Paper but with more nob jokes.
Also available on youtube if you like that sort of thing
This week we are joined by the fantastic Gadget off of that Modern Escapism to take you through the story of a man who dared to dream but the dream was actually a dogshit sandwich covered in wasps. It is the classic episode of Grand Designs where Edward tries to build some kind of weird "lighthouse" on the coast but it is an absolute farce. The grounds to hard, the winds to strong and making things round is really really stupid.
But we have fun, and that is the main thing.
How do?
The time has come for us to cover something that I have wanted to do for so long, the 1970s glorious mess that is The Indoor League. Its pub games but everyone is in beige and its a gorgeous thing. We are joined by Tom from Everything We Learned From The Simpsons as he is reet proper northern and that.
This is also available on YouTube and there's little extra jokes in there that I done and that. I learned video editing, sort of. Anyways, go watch and subscribe if you like that sort of thing. Be nice wouldn't it and cost you nothing
Something a little unusual from us this week as its a film from this year! I know right?
We are joined by the fantastic Ryan from Immaterial Gamers to go through what is quite possibly the worst film we have ever covered. Worse then Lady Circus, worse the that one with the clowns mucking about in the dark. It real bad folks.
You'll find out all about Pratfall Towers, why Amazon are great (honest), appropriate torniquet materials and why you should always turn left at the Han Solo.
So Castaway 2000 is now long behind us, and bereft of new ideas of things to do we decided to just go back to doing great bad films. And what a way to start off!
When an industrial mangle/steampress develops a taste for human blood only one cop, one old man and guy that possibly was in Pink Floyd can stop it. Starring Buffalo Bill and Freddie Krueger what we have is some of the most insane nonsense. And its great.
You'll hear all about antacids, lathes and what constitutes a morgue.
Our time on the island has come to an end and about halfway through this we decided to write down what we thought happened to the castaways once they left the island.
Some of it is true.
Normal service will resume soon but if you have anything you want us to possibly cover you can get us in all the usual places yeah?
And just like that its all over.
After a year on the island, our beloved Castaways are leaving and we get another sort of highlights package of the time they spent together as well as some new stuff about the lovely Christmas they had (minus the ham) and some other bits and pieces. We also get to see them leave the island for the last time and honestly, it's all very very emotional.
Thank you all for coming on this journey with us, its been informative, fun and educational (like 30 thousand dead English)
If you do want to watch along with us, this is where we watched and you honestly really should too.

Thank you
The end is in sight for our castaways as they prepare to leave Taransay for the last time and we get some greatest moments, some behind the scenes bonus footage and Ray pops up to do some... Ray things.
We also find out about teabags, kebab talk and the mysterious Taransay 5 is revealed!
Were still hovering about the clips sadly, because Lion TV are terrible at their job. but we manage to wangle a few laughs out of a dire situation.
We get old faces returning, Plantys hatred of old people and sheep transplants.
Our time on the island is coming to an end and the production team have got NOTHING to put in these shows so its a lot of old clips spliced in with some new stuff. The TV show that is, not this.
We find out all about the dirty dirty love loves of some of the younger castaways as well as some behind the scenes footage of caffeine related assaults. The Ghost of Ray makes an appearance and there is some lovely footage of the island but yeah.
Its gets better I promise
Things are winding down on the island now and everyone just seems to be mucking about and having a laugh. We get two episodes of Through the Pod-Hole with Toby from Leeds and Trev and Ben takes us on a tour of the Posh house.
There is also great sadness as Lady the cow leaves the island with her baby cow (or calf if you will) but on the other side, all the booze arrives for one last big hurrah!
The day we have all been waiting for has finally arrived!
Yes, that's right, the first annual Castaway Booze Tournament is in full effect. Who will win, who will lose and who will get very drunk and make an idiot of themselves.
We also get a good bit of info on island life, how they all keep clean and a great bit of toilet fun.
There is no homebrew contest this week because the usual amount of chaos has once again descended onto the island.
Its Bens birthday and Col and the lads try to explode him, there's deer based moral conundrums and the islanders welcome another among them. On a full moon.
Also, be sure to eat your calcium kids!
A sense of calm has descended on our castaways this week as the most exciting thing that's happening is a homebrew contest. That's it.
There's also talk of illicit trysts, job descriptions, kitchen related hijinks, a weird Through the Keyhole game and the Children in Need song what they done.
Its visitors week on Taransay and everyone has visitors come to stay a while.
There's talk of toilet etiquette, Poly Tunnel Tours and actual pig murder.
There's some bittersweet moments too as we have more people leaving the island, some of them more well known to us then others.
Another week on the lovely island of Taransay sees yet more Castaways leaving as well as horse and her wobbly child.
Yes, despite all his previous tantrums and that, Ron finally agrees to leave much to the delight of everyone else on the island.
There's unpaid vets bills, vets cutting of bits and other stuff that doesn't even have a vet in it!

Trigger Warning: This Episode deals with issues of homophobia, racism and domestic violence. If this may be in anyway upsetting to you, please skip and we will see you down the road.
Things are coming to a head on the island with everybody annoyed at everyone else for reasons both real and imagined. We get dog death, kitchen yelling and Peter getting a telling off.
There's Dodgy bands, dirty baths and MR PIPES!

Ahoy there!
Yes we are still doing Castaway 2000 and yes, it is getting better. While Ray may have left the island in disgrace, his tarnished legacy lives in in the burning of a wicker man that causes concern. There is also exciting horse news, a trip to the mainland and a lot of door slamming.
Also Uncle Planty reads us a horrific story about pipes, welks and sheep. So just be aware.

It is with a sad heart and a damaged liver we say goodbye to the first castaway to leave the island of their own volition.
But do not be too downhearted dear listener because the rest of them now have pigs, paint and a mirror called Jolene. We get more Tales from Grandpa Planty, Lofty facts are still very water based and there's a lovely poem to see us out.

Patience is running thin on the island, with Ray abandoning his meatballs, the school being to moist for humans and Ben lying about his beard growing abilities. Yes we are back with episode 7 of Castaway 2000, the only show that has weather as a featured guest. We also get introduced to Storytime with Planty

Castaway 2000 continues with the aftermath of Rays drunken outburst, Peter gets on everyone's nerves with aggressive minute keeping and animals arrive on the island. Cows, sheep and a pony to be exact and lets see how long they last. The housing pods are nearly finished, the doctors are inbound and Ron is threatening children with a fun time.
Its getting really good.

We're still on our Castaway 2000 jaunt and now near enough everyone is on the island, ready to go. Except the Doctors family, Ron and some others who are stuck in a haunted Toby Carvery for some reason.
Ray continues to slide into drunken madness, we get the first of the Video Diaries and tensions are running high over minor squabbles. The islanders also celebrate Burns Night and tempers spill over into an almost ruck between.... well you'll have to listen. (its Ray)

Thank you for joining us once again as we struggle on through Castaway 2000 with Episode 4 where both groups of chosen get together for the first time and immediately fall out over contracts and beard assignment.
But they're all on the island now. Right? Right?!

We plod ever onwards with our misguided attempt at doing something new with episode 3 of Castaway. We are introduced to "The Other Group" of miscreants and ne'er do wells who are competing for a space on the Scottish island of Taransay with the rest of them.
You'll get Lofty wisdom (and Lofty Facts!), the worst assault course ever, mans conquest of fire and we find out the cracks are already beginning to show on the island.

Things are heating up this week as our intrepid would-be wilderness survivors must learn to operate tarpaulin, kill a chicken and fight each other (not to the death sadly)
King Lofty spins his unique wisdom while contemplating becoming a king of the frontier and badger causes mild chaos. We also find out who has been successful in their application, who has not and what they would bring to the island as a "luxury item" .
All the episode we will be covering are available here
https://youtu.be/nccfWjdT0LM?si=w5LCYkIKnWAFm9ox
so get them watched and tell us who you think is going in the wicker man first!
This week and over the coming weeks we are going to take you through the rightfully forgotten BBC reality survival show Castaway 2000 for no other reason then we really love it apparently.
That's right, for the next few weeks/months/until we get tired and forget you're going to hear all about a show that is a quarter of a century old. But don't let that put you off, this is some the absolute best television even made in the history of humanity.
30 odd people dumped on a remote Scottish island trying to build a community in a blatant afront to all the gods.
Episode 1 deals with a whole bunch of people trying out to be selected including a very angry Tom Baker-a-like, the oldest man in the world and some posh families.
Its a wild ride, so please join us.
Come fly with me, lets fly, lets fly away. But please do remember to bring an in date passport yeah?
We're back to maximum strength this week as we take you through the "best" of the late '90s fly on the wall shows, the mighty Airline. While most of the show is people angry that they aren't allowed onto actual planes without legitimate documents there are also genuine nuggets of gold in there and our new favourite person, Notorious tennis enthusiast BJ who is absolutely glorious.
Get it in your ears
James is away this week so Planty and Joe are left to their own devices and choose to take you through the short lived and incredibly confusing "quiz" show Shafted! hosted by everyone's favourite whammer Robert Kilroy-Silk.
Its a bewildering game where nobody seems to know what's going on and cant really be bothered to make an effort. No wonder it only ran for 4 episodes eh?
Normal service will resume shortly we promise
Happy New Year!
We are back on our reality TV nonsense this week with a delightful episode of Don't Tell the Bride where idiot men are given money to plan horrible weddings for the supposed love of their lives.
In this episode a man who's whole personality is Army and Carling plans a WW2 themed wedding for his fiancé who is a.....beautician? Yes us neither.
Find out about wooden planes, drunken bulldogs and excessive use of the word "Vintagey"
We got into the sweet sherry a bit early this year so here's our slightly tipsy review of the new Netflix nonsense The Merry Gentlemen, the classic Christmas story of taking your top off to save a witches music venue.
You'll hear all about improbable career roles, impractical short term goals to raise money and Joe gets weirdly obsessed with nobs.
We were a little bit drunk when we recorded this (its Christmas) so yeah.
Have a very Happy Christmas or whatever you celebrate and we shall see you soon
Yeah, we know everyone else is reviewing it but in the words of the late, great Dolores O'Riordan "everyone else is doing it, so why cant we"?
This week we dip our toe back in to the slime filled Gordon swimming pool as we take you through a Cher-Tastic episode of Hotel Hell. It's Kitchen Nightmares but with a lot more semen apparently.
You'll find out about plastic plaster, the least successful hotel coup in existence and what you should always have for breakfast.
Awooga!
This week to complete our Craig Charles triangle were taking you through the much loved cyborg gladiator nonsense that is Robot Wars (season 9 episode 2) purely for a reason that becomes apparent.
If you are not familiar with the concept, teams of nerds, mechanical wizards and for some reason children build and then battle huge armoured robots in an arena that has spikes and fire and that. It's honestly really good.
You will learn all about secret voices, Italian hands and why Noel Sharkey is a big fat liar
As its the scary season we thought we would bring you a terrifying moment from our childhoods in the shape of the 1992 absolute masterpiece Ghostwatch with Parkie and Lister and Greeny and the other bloke.
Broadcast as a live ghost hunt on actual Halloween night, this is tale of duplicity, horror and wanking in the high backed chair at a reasonably price hotel chain.
Happy Halloween yeah
Welcome stranger!
This week as part of our "people with stuff on their head failing basic tasks" series we bring you a classic episode of the fondly remembered and rightly so kids show Knightmare. A simple premise of youths guiding their behelmeted friend through a sort of non union D&D dungeon to win a prize or most likely die by falling off a ledge.
Its honestly brilliant.
You can hear all about Barry The Brave, confusing cubes, HobGoblin facts! and the only protestant march in the seven kingdoms!
All of this is on youtube and we cannot recommend it enough.
Shut up Cyber Phil!
This week we take you back to 1993 then Virtual Reality was the future and you could legitimately make a gameshow based on that alone. We are of course talking about Cyberzone the short lived but fondly remembered Craig Charles technology based "Adventure" game where the rules don't matter and the points matter even less.
You will hear all about fringed jackets, pointless Wii games, correct helicopter uses and the worst prize we have ever seen.
The episode we reviewed is up on youtube if you want to watch beforehand but honestly, its better if you dont.
This week we take you all the way back to 2003 with an episode of the fantastic and weirdly forgotten Time Commanders. Its sort of a bit like Risk but with way more shouting and abject failure.
You will hear all about Milton Keynes infrastructure, polo shirt envy, dead 50s rock stars, being unable to see the wood for the trees, Archers, The Archers and Jeffery Archer and some actual historical knowledge from James.
Still ploughing our way through the reality TV world and this week its a "fan" request, as we take you through a classic week of the daytime B&B squabble fest Four in a Bed. Imagine Come Dine with Me but its people that own weird hotels and want to be YOUR friend.
You'll hear all about egg contraptions, the worst game to play with strangers, the cost of 1 fly, creepy ringmasters and how much technology is too much technology?
If you have any suggestions for shows you want us to cover let us know by all the usual methods. Or just yell them at us in the street like everyone else does yeah?
Continuing on with our reality TV theme were doing for some reason we bring you this week Season 43 Episode 8 of the long running cookery bastard show Come Dine with me where 5 random people have to host consecutive dinner parties in the hope of winning a grand. A simple enough premise but its always an entertaining watch due to the misguided dreams of the contestents.
This episode is all about Claire who serves everything on a plank, has only a wok to cook in and makes possibly the worst chips we have ever seen.
There are clips of the show on YouTube and it is on the 4 app if you live in the UK.
Prawns
Something a little different as a temporary filler until we are all back together as we take you through a classic episode of Ramseys Kitchen Nightmares USA as its something Joe and Mark love greatly and its something we have wanted to try for a bit now.
You'll hear all about floor food, Marks virginity and the best off brand Ghostbusters theme you never heard.
The whole episode is available on here https://youtu.be/pHchw-J91qE?si=6CPmyBycfIGG1JZK
and if this is something that you like we can do more of them. We probably will anyways
James & Joe are back after a prolonged Genie related incident to take you through a proper Hallmark for the first time in a long time, the 2024 classic Paging Mr Darcy.
The story of a dull woman, a dull man and the most annoying sister in the world. You'll hear all about catering biffers, James experimental one man show and the formation of Mansfield Chunk
This week we are joined by the fantastically talented Mr Pat Veil to go through the 2008 classic Punisher: Warzone or The Most Violent Marvel Film to Date as it should be known.
You will hear all about bullet sprinklers, Dennis Nedry facts, tales of Pats dashed boyhood dreams and Plantys one impression he can do.
Its a little more relaxed in the edit this week simply because talking to Pat is lovely experience and he definitely classes up the joint.
Go follow his social media but most importantly listen to his music, he's really really good.
https://linktr.ee/patveil
Joe has been abandoned but thankfully the lovely Jay has stepped in to take him through another Hulk Hogan film, this time the 2009 classic Little Hercules in 3D although it wasn't in 3D. Starring Terrible Terry, The Big Show Tall Paul and the little buff boy you all remember from them memes a few years back. Its a simple tale of Hercules, Socrates and somehow Draculas wife going to Burbank to win a decathlon or something.
You will hear all about toilet phones, the worst teacher yet, hoarding children and the best special effect we have ever seen.
You can find Jay over on The Untitled Wrestling Podcast or if you don't like wrestling he also does One Nation Under Ted: A Ted Lasso Podcast that is.... well you can work it out i'm sure.
Planty is back and we go all moody as we take you through the 2006 sort of goth classic The Covenant starring a load of high cheekboned lads of indeterminate faces in a film that's a bit like The Craft if you remove everything that is good and replace it with old tiramisu.
You'll find out about imaginary spiders, the coolest mum in the world, CROTCH ROCKETS, the best chores for a growing boy and if the mayor finally got the upgrade.
As people are away on holiday, getting married or have been drafted into the French Foreign Legion we decided to do a little mini series of peoples favourite bad movies and what better way to kick off then with the daddy of them all, Jean-Claude Van Dammes video game masterpiece Streetfighter.
Were joined by the John from Dammit Vacant and the lovely Ethan Edwards as we find out how much JCVD got paid, the dangers of actual knives, evil Youtube, correct stealth visor usage, the Bison Price Index and what happened to Kylie in her 3 lost days!
THIS CONCLAVE IS OVER!
Welcome to a very very special episode of Hallmark of Greatness where we celebrate the upcoming wedding of James and Katie by watching the 2017 Masterpeice "Cronus" live and in my front room. The audio may be bad but the joy is real as we take you through the story of a man who loses his mind or does he?
Joined by terrible audio guy Brother James we take you through the delights of white vinegar, abandoned airfields and the delights of GRANERY BAPS.
If for some reason you want to watch along heres a link. you maniac
https://youtu.be/bDnx2cBrSq4?si=alNC6Xz4kgfs6ouw
We got confused over the bank holiday weekend but we are back bringing you a slice of fried 80's gold with Star Slammer. The story of a woman sent to a spaceship prison for putting a mans hand in jam after he exploded a wizard and pinned it on her. There is all the usual nonsense you have come to expect as well as Non-Union Sandpeople, the worst canteen in the world, crotch truncheons ahoy and an ending nobody really understood.
Get it in thine ears
Come join us in our St Patricks day special as we lead you by the hand through 2024s Irish Wish starring The Lohan and Jane Seymour.
The simple tale of an unrequited love, a lakeside menace and one cool knee to the groin.
We are joined by Monorants again who tell us everything we need to know about Irish fast travel , the saints that made us and mono pooing near a cliff.
Sláinte
Its another sequel but its not intentional, the follow up to Bronx Warrior leads us down a filthy path of bad genocides, really familiar actors and obscene motorbike abuse.
Come listen to the tail of Trash, that Joey Ramone looking guy as he fights the man, himself, his parents and several planks of wood.
Back on the sweet sweet Hallmark trail, this week we bring you the 2020 classic Nature of Love, the simple tale of a daft lass and rugged man. Plus so many Simpsons jokes its not even cool anymore.
You will hear all about Kiss Chase the Camp Butler, A.I. bear attacks, horrible big salads, Welsh rapping and Mr Stevens the lake pike.
This weeks synopsis machine is sponsored by Cheese.
We got a twofer in this episode with our first ever sequel and first ever returning guests, the lovely folks from Monorants as we take you through the Kevin Sorbo vehicle Tales of the Ancient Kingdom which is a sequel to The Sword and the Sorcerer.
You will find out about overuse of flashbacks, cardboard cities, forbidden sexual practices, cloak pass the parcel, christmas decorations and rug based pratfalls.
The gangs all back together for our first Hallmark film of the year, the 2015 classic "Hello, It's Me".
The simple story of a woman who's husband is lost at sea and still gets great cellphone reception. Also features annoying kids, the worst superhero ever and that fella that looks like a melted Steth Mcfarlane.
As a little break before we plough back into the fetid quagmire of our usual subject matter, we decided as per the tradition to have a small break and play James' Quiz of the Year which relies on us being able to remember things about the films we have reviewed this year.
It goes about as well as you would expect really (that is, James tries his best and everyone else just mucks about like daft kids)
As a Christmas treat to ourselves we decided to cover a film that should be terrible but is surprisingly great with 2023s Its a Wonderful Knife. Its not just a terrible pun!
We would also like to say thank you to everyone who has listened, shared or helped us out in any way this year. It's been tough but we made it to the end.
We also know that Christmas is a rough time of year for a lot of people and so if you are feeling low or whatever just know that there are services out there that can help you, not just at this time of year but whenever you need them.

We are heading into Christmas season and with that in mind we bring you the 2013 classic "Mr Scrooge to See You" starring David Ruprecht as some kind of Scrooge who has to go into the future to stop Bob Cratchits offspring from being a Neo-Miser or something. Its very long and nothing happens for a lot of it.
You'll hear all about Zammo's calculator, homeless teeth, terrible business sense, the worst santa in the world, EDM soundtracks, oil drum fires and James best Only Fools & Horses impression ever!
Look at this! An almost proper film. Some might say that we have lost our way somewhat but those people would be liars who deserve to be swung about by a Mahar captain.
We are of course talking about the 1976 classic At the Earth's Core starring Doug "Doug" McClure and Peter "Whoopee" Cushing in a tale about blokes drilling erm.. to the earths core. There they meet strange pig faced men and strange rubbery beasts as well as ladies with not many clothes on!
You will hear so many Simpsons jokes, the sounds of prehistoric monsters, Sexy Eggs, important field advice for drilling and James' favourite banner in a film so far!
As we wend our way deep into autumn (or fall if you are like that) we bring to you 2013s The Thanksgiving house, the simple story or a law lady who inherits a house with a mysterious secret. No not like murder or anything, a nice secret.
You will hear all about correct knotweed removal, core samples, the worst post office ever, BLOGS!, so much steak and a nice story about a river.
Running headlong into the spookiest of weeks we present to you 2014's WolfCop which is as dumb as it sounds. The story of a Canadian cop who for reasons is turned into a werewolf and yeah, I don't know either.
You'll hear all about donuts, bad druids, Marc Bolan, correct egg preparation and many other things in a film that should not be.
Robin Hood: Beyond Sherwood Forest
We may have been away for a little while but we are back now, to take you through the most accurate Robin Hood film since that one with the snake voiced by Terry Thomas. and that had a talking snake.
You'll hear all about poor arrow technique, the songs of Space Sting, James suffering from a malady and Mark defending his beloved hometown through the traditional jokes.
We are joined this week by a familiar voice to take you through the 2020 classic Palm Springs starring Jake Peralta and that angry guy from the Spiderman films. Yeah, we know its not a Hallmark film but we think we have earned this as a treat.
As usual its the normal mix of time travel, confusion and wondering what is it that makes a name.
We are back dipping our toe into the world of '80s sword and sorcery this week with the classic Deathstalker. A film about a man who...stalks death? Not in a creepy 'stealing your underpants' type way but a scary stabbing way.
You'll hear all about reusable wax heads, the perils of jogging, houses made of wigs, strange boy-men, how to walk about boobily and a concise history of UK shot putt legend Geoff Capes!
Mark is walking 1 million steps over the next 3 months to raise money for Diabetes UK. We never ask you for money for the podcast but if you wanna donate some money to a charity then hit up
https://step.diabetes.org.uk/fundraising/mark868
and make him suffer!
This week we take you through the 2017 film Land Shark starring people who have never done acting before, a man who has never done special effects before and some of the best free music a scoundrel can steal.
You'll hear all about correct shark maintenance, the infernal beep machine, hoovers and the best quiz you will ever hear about our terrifying aquatic friends.
The Higgens fam are back after illness, dogs and just a general sense of ennui to bring you the hottest film of 2021 starring Rhiannon Fish, the classic For the Love of Choclate.
Imagine that other film we did a while back about bathbombs yeah. Its that but with chocolate. I don't kno what to tell you really. Sorry?
We finish our Half-Christmas special with the heart-warming classic Alone for Christmas or Bone Alone as its also known. The simple story of Home Alone but with talking dogs in it. None of them do a funky rap either which is a missed opportunity if you ask me.
You will find out about, Toy Story Kart Racing, the most highbrow joke we've ever made, the most low broke joke we ever made, dog escape plans, Hollyoaks and our new found love for Jonathan Nation!
Mark is walking 1 million steps over the next 3 months to raise money for Diabetes UK. We never ask you for money for the podcast but if you wanna donate some money to a charity then hit up

The end is in sight as we lurch towards the end of Half Chistmas with the 2013 classic Christmas Bounty starring The Miz out of wrestling and some other people.
You will hear all about Nativity based smugness, dubious wrestling knowledge, Tory party rage, Joes takeaway order, chocolate based jokes for no one and a whole lot of Christmas innuendo.
