Don't Lets Chart with Ben and Phil

And so we reach the final destination of the Don't Lets Chart Summer Roadshow and also the final episode of series one. We hope you've enjoyed the past five months of facts and nonsense and we're going out with our biggest adventure yet. Yes, even bigger than the Nottingham Industrial Museum of Dust. And because its the end of term, Ben has kindly allowed Phil to finally talk about bloody Gobots or whatever he's into, including our listeners' own top ten most tedious robots of all time! Plus...

Another jump on the increasingly stupid Don't Lets Chart Summer Roadshow as Ben and Phil travel back in time to visit The Book Tower in order to promote Ben's new book. If you dont know, its probably best not to ask. Just strap in for what the Mr Men did next, a celebration of good Dickens, Phil reading erotic fiction like in that nightamre you had and the best of Baker. But not Ben... Ben's new book "Death Death Death Stereo Stereo Stereo" is now out for Kindle and paperback. All the links...

A bit of a relativity jump on the Don't Lets Chart Roadshow this week as we visit Beanotown. OrGotham. Or wherever Whizzer and Chips incorporating Scouse Mouse took place as its a comics special. Which were best - the good old British weekly or yer American "comical book"? Do we find an answer in this week's edition? Well, we've a top ten featuring the biggest comic strip-themed chart hits of all time, we chew up a terrible Buzzfeed list and inevitably there's another stupid quiz....

Ohhhh, how good is this? The "Don't Lets Chart Summer Roadshow" is on the move again and this week visits definitely DEFINITELY Australia to talk all things Antipodean, but mostly funny place names, weird food and the most surreal episodes of Neighbours. It might be the daftest episode ever but also...the dumbest? We blame the heat.... If you would like to support our Patreon from less than a pound a month and get an exclusive, not found anywhere else episode of "Don't Lets Chart" plus...

Woah dude, its a new episode of the "Don't Lets Chart Summer Roadshow" and Ben and Phil are visiting "Mawkins, Indianus" - home to "Stangler Thongs" - which is legally different from anything on Netflix set in the mid 80s and about obsolete Americana. Although saying that, we do have lists on forgotten McDonalds characters, lost TV catchphrases and the 'grot n gore' best in VHS sales. Plus: nuggets with cowboy boots, Hillbilly John meets the devil, the real anniversary of the moon landing,...

Framed for a crime they probably did commit, Ben and Phil are making melonade from rocks and dust by turning their six week community service into a summer roadshow just like all those people we're not allowed to talk about anymore used to do on Radio One in the past!!!! Sadly, a matter of ankle tagging and house arrest means the first edition is coming from the less glamourous locale of Phil's flat. What would Smiley Miley say? Nothing you idiots, he's locked in my basement. Plus:...

A totally new episode we made that definitely isn't a best of the first five episodes with bonus items because we're a bit burnt out after four months and need a week off. Featuring: Why George Clooney shouldnt be allowed near your cat (or Meryl Streep), a wartime Bill Badger goes on the tube, wallpaper as a mid-morning snack, why the bullet catch trick is a horrible idea, greasy Furbies, the finest impressions of Yorkshiremen you will ever hear, Jamie Kennedy's experimental methods, the...

It’s a five-alarm all out listener takeover episode as Ben and Phil hand the whole show over to you for questions, guest charts and comments, alongside special appearances by our friends at Round The Archives and Tim Worthington off of the Guardian. Plus: how we met and our earliest collaborations, Phil's best punk, horrible ITV comedy, how to play "Year Of The Cat", the most appalling action figures, important crisp discussions, the best and worst sitcom movies are ranked, strange pet...

Or "Congratulations! It's A Knife!" Put yer hands up and drop the off-brand "Avengerists" action figure! Detectives Ben Baker and Phil Catterall are on the lookout for terrible toys from the past, street messers and sex type people doing naughty kissing and that. Why? Well, it’s summat to do between "Columbo" repeats, innit? Also: A Lady, Tim Allen funnies, bloody GoBots, dogs eating spaghetti, hugging a mutant chicken, the trouble with airplane toilets, knock off pogo balls, Hoo-Moon's...

Sunday, Sunday here again and...wait, we dont upload our new episodes on Sundays, do we? Aaahhhh, but we do. Presenting our mildly irrelevant move to Sundays for the forseeable future. In this week's episode, Ben Baker and Phil Catterall attempt to provide the complete Lord's Day experience from morning papers to the late night telly and most importantly of all: gravy.

We all know what its like. You record a smash hit song but accidentally mention a brand name leading to a ban from the BBC so you have to fly 6,000 miles across the Atlantic to record two words then fly back again. To celebrate Ray Davies from the Kinks' marathon jaunt for a minor act, its a Lola-tastic week of charts this week as Ben and Phil ogle unusual things that have been banned, test the worst product ideas of all time and there's a right and proper BBC-approved quiz which isnt just...

We've taken the bin box time machine back to 1987 again for the second and final part of our entirely listener-voted chart. Along the way, we pump up the volume, drown some Pound Puppies, chart the rise of Jonathan Ross, make Phil listen to Big Black for the first time, fail to get over how great Withnail and I is in the edit, chase away Mike Read and his new jingles, enjoy some wind, Ben reveals his biggest musical fantasy, Wax get lyrical, there's a New Years visit with Predator, Phil...

Presenting The First Annual 32 Fabulous Years of 1987 Show. Why? Dont worry about that. Just be dazzled and wowed by the bright colours and flammable materials of the era as Ben and Phil run down the first half of our listener's selections for the best things of '87 - thats right, FIRST! - you lot sent in some fantastic suggestions and we didnt want to skimp on the best so its our first exciting two-parter. Like Timelash. Ok, maybe not that... In this one there's grudging acceptance of The...

Sponsored by Nixon's Crisps. "The crisps that are crisps". It was the philosopher Ian Reelbigfish who once sang "Sell out / with me oh yea / sell out / with me tonight". And never has a truer word been skanked as your hosts Ben Baker and Phil Catterall decide it’s time to cash in on the giant success "Don't Lets Chart" clearly is and try and hook one of those big sponsors. So why they decide to mention ghosts, "On the Buses" and controversial stamps is anyone's guess. Also in the mix are...

It's a bank holiday special as for the first time Ben and Phil are in the same room to record one of these. We enter "The Meet Zone" (or is that "the Meat Zone"?) for a rundown of what Nottingham has to offer, the strange world of beer naming and our second listener-voted chart as you decide the worst double acts of all time, a mixed and occasionally very wrong list. Plus: visiting Batman's house, the new Alan Bennett play, Horne and Corden's body swap adventure with Foster and Allen,...

'Boogie Legs' Ben and The All-New Some Biscuits Crew are sure in for a s-s-spooky time when they investigate Old Man Catterall's haunted mine to look for the secret hidden treasure of pop culture charts. And as they've just run past the same hallway twelve times, it must mean it's an Animation Special! In today's episode, we asked you for your top ten biggest Hanna-Barbera jerks, learn movies got inexplicable TV cartoon transfers and burn down the house in answer to 'how many Steamed Hams...

Ben's not content with the ratings for the last few episodes so he's decided to refit the whole show to be one of those murder podcasts that are doing insanely well in the charts. However, neither him or Phil are comfortable with the whole "murder" aspect so instead pivot to dangerous toys, murderous songs, the deadliest Marvel superheroes of all time and erm...Richard Nixon. Plus: Hannah Montana's crippling addiction to lead reign of terror, Sophie Ellis Bextor Vs W.A.S.P, Enormous Ken's...

Hey you! Are you interested in dead celebrities, Yorkshire heroes and ridiculous Happy Meal toys? Well stick around anyway as Ben and Phil look into why under no circumstances should you let someone fire a gun directly into your face, which action star is incomplete without his arm squirter and why Ben isn't the greatest Yorkshireman of all time. Plus: Kevin Keegan face moulds, grease-stinking Furbies, Matt Le Blanc has an accident, a lot of impressions that all seem to be Michael Parkinson,...

And so it was that our brave idiots Ben and Phil returned for a second adventure that the law of sequels suggests will probably not be as good as the first. With that in mind they look at Rotten Tomatoes' Worst Sequels Ever with guest appearances from Batman, Jaws and the actor Stan Collymore. There's also a tribute to this weekend's Wrestlemania as Ben tests Phil's near-absent knowledge of wrestling then outrage as Britain gets pies wrong. Plus: Jamie Kennedy's scientific methods are put to...
