While other podcasts are celebrating the changing of the clocks with fleecy onesies and pumpkin spice lattes, The Peggy Mount Calamity Hour likes to draw further terror from the most breathlessly claustrophobic of televisual scenarios for their annual Halloween Special. If the stiffness of their drinks doesn't serve as a psychological buffer, it can always be used as disinfectant... Yes, Messrs Velvet and Blackout are donning their sitcom hazmat suits and paying a visit to Shepherd's Bush, where Steptoe and Son are pondering the end of their ragtag, torturous existence and investigating what could possibly come next. Guidance for Albert and Harold comes in the form of a familiar face, and soon one of them is trying to kick the bucket (HYACINTH BUCKET, THAT IS ANOTHER SITCOM JOKE BECAUSE OF WHO IS IN THIS, DO YOU SEE?) Was the tenebrous ambience of 1970s set design an aesthetic response to an era of power cuts? Is it even possible to hold a seance in a house where there should already be a sneaking realisation that you yourself might actually be dead and in hell? And what have Megadeth done to annoy Blackout? Hit the Play button and the answers will drift ethereally from beyond...

In this special and deeply personal episode of Warp My Tardis, KJ the Comic Guy and Security Dan come together to reflect on the life, career, and extraordinary legacy of Sir Patrick Stewart.

More than a tribute episode, this conversation examines what it means to lose the heroes who helped define our fandoms and why their influence continues long after they're gone. As fans across the world mourn, KJ and Dan share personal reflections on grief, legacy, friendship, and the importance of holding our loved ones close.  Join us as we celebrate a life that boldly went beyond the stars and left an indelible mark on science fiction, popular culture, and the hearts of millions.
