You Bet! Pod

Episode 17: Matthew Kelly, Kim Hartman, Henry Cooper, Syd Lawrence, Geoffrey Durham (4 September 1992)

The You Bet! time machine has landed once again deep into the 1990's, as we find ourselves in September 1992. Just a few weeks before Black Wednesday and a new smaller 10p coin being introduced. Hedonistic times I'm sure we can all agree.  We are back in the wonderful camp arms of Matthew Kelly as he hosts you Bet! with some wonderful celebrity guests - Sir Henry Cooper, David 'Syd' Lawrence, Kim Hartman and Geoffrey Durham.  It's a real fun You Bet! episode, and James gets very excited over challenge number two, but you'll have to have a listen to find out what that is...  Other things discussed: 📅 James and Stew try their absolute hardest to work out when this episode was filmed 💰 Take a deep dive into Lloyds of London with Stewart Terry  🎤 We discuss the awkward opening monologue from Matthew Kelly  👽 Stew talks about the problems in the filming of Alien 3.  You can watch this episode of You Bet! here - YOU BET!

Episode 16: Darren Day, Ant McPartlin, Declan Donnelly, Davina McCall (22 March 1997)

What's that sound, listener? Yes, it's the sound of You Bet! on its arse, sadly, as we look at the 4th ever last episode. Hosted by Darren Day and with co-host Sarah Matravers (I know, us neither).  The good news is that the celebrities involved have not been struck down by the You Bet! curse, and on this episode are Ant, Dec and Davina McCall.  The challenges are pretty crazy though, and one of them is set in South Africa - where has that budget come from!?! Other things discussed on the podcast include:  * Stew does a 6/10 Zippy impression and 10/10 George from Rainbow impression * James takes us down a rabbit hole of the worlds strangest kidnapping story.  * 'The English Patient' takes home the best joke of the episode.  * Darren Day has way too much fun with the word 'Zippo'.  You can watch this episode here - You Bet with Ant & Dec, Davina McCall hosted by Darren Day March 1997 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h5E6IMZsEqY] You can email the show - youbetpod@gmail.com [youbetpod@gmail.com] Follow us on Instagram - you_bet_pod

Episode 15: Matthew Kelly, Vinnie Jones, Wendy Richard, Ben Clarke, DJ Normski (17 September 1993)

We're taking our You Bet! Time Machine back to the summer of 1993, where the sun shining, and Matthew Kelly had four delightful celebrities to deal with! It's episode 15 of You Bet Pod - with Matthew Kelly tasking the reigns and lauding over proceedings with footballer Vinnie Jones, actor Wendy Richard, rugby player Ben Clarke and legend DJ Normski!  The challenges are as mad as ever obviously - how about a man sminning backwards in a pool, balancing a two metre stick on his chin which has a candle attached to the top, where he is attempting to burst balloons?! Yeah, exactly! More of that please!  Other things discussed this week:  👈 Another Fred West reference 😜 Is the Mr Vain joke, the best joke of the podcast so far? 🧑‍🎤 Stew does a rap 🤪 We discuss if The Crazy Gang were actually pretty awful human beings!

Join us as we take the You Bet! time machine back to 16 February 1991, as Matthew Kelly is joined by 'Allo Allo star Vicki Michelle, Olympic gold medallist Nick Skelton, and Barnsley's favourite actor, Brian Glover.  The challenges are as bonkers as ever, including two firemen trying to blow up and pop a balloon through 300 metres of fire hose, a child off his shark knowledge and a guy on a motorbike trying to knock off coconuts on traffic cones!  Watch the episode  [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o2D_hvR9VEc&t=1483s] You can listen to the You Bet! playlist [https://open.spotify.com/playlist/6w1fWuuGuoiETCPGpqrJHq?si=Q1V9rqwOTQWHrPxD7aQDHA&pi=RbqYBFTpTY2dj&nd=1&dlsi=1ebb5575487c4dbd]  Other things discussed this week: 🎤 Stew does an excellent Homer Simpson impression  🎵 Say what you like about the show, but the Jim'll Fix It theme song was a banger 🍺 Andre the Giant liked a beer 🥐 'Allo Allo was great, wasn't it!

Episode 13: Bruce Forsyth, Spike Milligan, Cheryl Baker, Kenny Sansom (27 February 1988)

Join the maestro Sir Bruce Forsyth as he navigates us through a wonderful episode of You Bet! with celebrity guests Spike Milligan (how they they pull that off?!), Kenny Sansom (why did they pull that off?!) and Cheryl Baker.  The challenges are as mad as ever, including two German men who say they can identify five different cars just by listening to the sound of the doors being shut!
