Our Guest President this week, leading the members Tony Slattery’s Rambling Club, is none other than the star of EastEnders, and almost every comedy you will have ever seen, Paul Bradley! Come and join in as guest President Bradley 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 tiller of the toss!

First stop is destination number 613: The Promotion of Health. Paul's Dad was a GP and he famously played a Doctor, but what impact has that had on his own life, and why did that mean he couldn't get away with anything as a child?

Next we're heading toward 111: Ontology. Whilst the team work out what this means there's a chance for a right old ramble through the life of an actor on the UK's leading soap opera. Just how does Paul cope with the remarkable amount of work that EastEnders creates? After that, well, Ontology is the study of being and existence. Brace yourselves! This one could get a bit deep!

Our final destination is 712- Landscape Architecture. What is it about the land that connects with us, and what do the team know about the works of Capability Brown? A ramble through the countryside provokes some interesting responses!

After all that it’s time to head back down the garden path to Tony’s shed, to relax before there are yet more lines to learn for EastEnders!

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!

Our Guest President this week, leading the members Tony Slattery’s Rambling Club, is none other than the BAFTA winning writer of Motherland and Amandaland Helen Serafinowicz! Come and join in as guest President Serafinowicz 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 tiller of the toss!

First stop is destination number 752: Colour. How do we know that dogs see in black and white? How can colour influence creativity? How do you compose a sitcom as part of a collaborative? Time to delve straight into the creative process!

Next we're heading toward 427: English Language Variations. A ramble through the amazing variations of language across these islands and how to avoid showing your own background when writing. Tales of the Belle Vale Shopping await along with a reminder not to take sweets from strangers!

Every now and again we're reminded that the Dewey Decimal System is a little bit antiquated. Hence number 139 and Phrenology being our final destination! Witches, birch twigs and Scottish hangover cures come up for discussion, along with a reminder of what makes Dame Joanna Lumley so very special!

After all that it’s time to head back down the garden path to Tony’s shed, to relax and enjoy a restorative bacon toastie and a pint of Irn Bru!

You can see Helen's brand new play The Legend of Rooney's Ring at the Royal Court Theatre, Liverpool, until August 23rd, no matter what it says on the side of the buses!

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.
