Our Guest President this week, leading the members Tony Slattery’s Rambling Club, is none other than the star of Jeeves and Wooster, Holby City and expert on the wonderful PG Wodehouse Robert Daws! Come and join in as guest President Daws 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 216: Good And Evil. Straight in with the easy stuff! Luckily Bob played a character so unpleasant on Holby City that he was on the receiving end of some rather harsh judgement from the public, which allows the team to explore the blurred lines between good and evil and how you go about portraying such things as an actor.


Number 526 is our final destination-Mathematical Geometry. This one is rather tricky. Bob Bob and Paul failed Maths at GCSE level and not even Allan can help this time! But that doesn't matter as thoughts quickly turn to the famed PG Wodehouse. A fascinating ramble through his life awaits, including how he fell foul of the Nazi Party through naivety in the 1930s and this most quintessential of Englishmen was unable to ever return to Britain.


You can see Bob in Wodehouse In Wonderland at the Edinburgh Fringe every evening at 6.10pm at Studio 3 at Assembly, George Square Gardens.

After all that it’s time to head back down the garden path to Tony’s shed, to relax and realise there's a lot to be said for wearing Tweed all Summer.


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!
