The Parish Counsel

In which window cleaners see more than they oughta, the BBC do themselves no favours, Mel & Gino cook up a storm and The Pretend iPod rolls on.

The Silver Seas have now arrived in Blighty for the festival season (they're appearing at Cornbury this weekend), so we're taking the chance to re-post Terence Dackombe's interview with Daniel Tashian, from a couple of weeks ago.

In which there's a new editor at The Sun; Dispatches is reviewed, Time Team is recalled and The Pretend iPod goes psychedelic.

In which Glenn Gregory of Heaven 17 tells all, Rhona Martin co-hosts and The Pretend iPod gains weight.

In which Magnus is joined by guest host Rhona Martin, sport headlines are delivered, alien abductees are abducted, The Returned is reviewed and the Pretend iPod wakes up.

In which Terence has a cold, passwords are pills, actors cut up rough, call centres are reviewed and the Pretend iPod stirs itself.

In which The Guardian opens a cafe, people tell porkies on social media, The Iraq War is reviewed and Terence Dackombe interviews Daniel Tashian from The Silver Seas and previews the new album.

In which the BBC waste more money, editors can't win, Bowie is on telly, Gif is pronounced and the Pretend iPod gains two tracks.

In which everyday objects disappear, the BBC waste our money, The Sun charges, Skint is watched and the Pretend iPod evolves again.

In which software suffers, Lorshugger lives, newsrooms are exposed, spare rooms go unoccupied and the Pretend iPod returns.
