Starting point is 00:00:00 BBC Sounds. Music, radio, podcasts. Hello everybody. Spooky stories. This is like our Halloween special, isn't it? Yeah. Have you ever played a baddie in panto? Special, isn't it? Yeah. Wah, ah, ah, ah. Have you ever played a baddie in panto? Oh, no. No. I've always just been, I've played Alice Fitzwarren and I've played Cinderella.
Starting point is 00:00:33 Have you played a baddie in panto? No, I've only been a fairy. Ah. Fairy godmother. I bet I could be a baddie now, though, because my days of ingenue have gone. I hated panto. Why? Because it was all in prose. Oh know rhyme yes i couldn't bear the learning oh but if you were playing the fairy it would be
Starting point is 00:00:53 wouldn't it because you're doing all the right the rhyming couplet i couldn't stand it why yeah why you just couldn't learn it joe. I just found it really hard to learn. Yeah. And Christmas is my favourite time and being away and being out every day and only having Christmas Day off. People don't realise. It's hard. It is a really bloody hard job.
Starting point is 00:01:17 First panto I ever did, James was in it as well. He was Dandini, I was Cinderella and Gareth Gates was Prince Charming. Oh, good God, we had a laugh. I bet had a laugh we didn't have kids then or anything and we shared a dressing room god knows how we got through without having a massive argument at one time i went out and i bought and we were in wimbledon and i went to the shops i bought a whole load of christmas decorations and i'm talking about like you know reindeers about that size and big father Christmases and everything decorated the whole of our dressing room and we just used to have so much fun oh oh god it was we were so naughty I remember Gareth farting on stage loads yeah yeah he was very naughty
Starting point is 00:01:57 but oh we had such fun I remember another one where I fell down the stairs I came out at the end you know when they got married oh no Alice Fitzwarren and I came out at the end, you know, when they got married. Oh, no. It was Alice Fitzwarren and I came out in this big ball gown and I was at the top of the stairs with Prince Charming and we went to start walking down the stairs and I just, I slipped and I went all the way down like that on my back. And I found it so funny.
Starting point is 00:02:15 And the audience just went, like that. And then I got down to the bottom, landed and then he had to pick me back up and I couldn't stop laughing. How was your back the next day? Well, all right, because you're so padded into all the corsets and all of that sort of stuff. It was okay.
Starting point is 00:02:29 Yeah, that I was all right. God. We should do a whole thing on Pantos sometime. Because I haven't half got some blidding stories. And we should get Brian Conley on. Oh, yes. Who is the king of Pantos. And Shane Ritchie.
Starting point is 00:02:40 We should do a Panto. We should. Spesh. That would be good. Talk to them. Yes, because there have been Pantos on the telly. We'll watch a fewanto. We should. Spesh. That would be good. Talk to them. Yes, because there have been pantos on the telly. We'll watch a few pantos which have been on the telly and then we'll just get all of our fave panto people in.
Starting point is 00:02:50 And I really love the play that goes wrong. They do a Christmas show, don't they, on the telly. They do lots of different bits and pieces of the show that goes wrong. Eva went to see that in the theatre only a couple of nights ago. Oh, really? She loved it? Yeah, absolutely loved it. And it's the first sort of grown-up proper play type thing
Starting point is 00:03:08 that she's ever been to see. Absolutely loved it. Oh, that's brilliant. Yeah. Oh, that's good. Well, anyway, enough about Panto. Let's talk about... Let's get on to Halloween spooky stories, spooky things.
Starting point is 00:03:19 Do you know what, right? For somebody who absolutely loves spooky things so much, I don't really have any that much right one that always used to get to me right was tales of the unexpected yeah and the women used to dance like that didn't they in the beginning i don't remember it oh my god you don't remember it oh my god so tales of the unexpected was kind of like what inside number nine kind of is like now they were sort of a bit like morality tales and you know things with a twist at the end and short little stories and it used to start with the music do with these women who i imagine were naked and they used to just dance a bit like in the old
Starting point is 00:03:54 james bond yeah dance like this with the music playing right and i always remember this one about this man who was quite dapper and he was all very he was quite portly and he was in a suit and he had a big beard and he had a black umbrella with a long pointy bit at the end and it was a very classic expensive looking umbrella and he walked around he was walking through what looked like this little village center which was really lovely and he was chatting to people and all really nice sounds like. Sounds like Mr Ben. Yeah, a bit like him, that kind of character. Right.
Starting point is 00:04:27 And he gets this umbrella and he sort of untwists the bit at the bottom or he pulls something out and it turns into like this long, long spike and I remember he just goes up to the man
Starting point is 00:04:37 and he puts the spike there right in the middle of his chest and I always remember him very slowly just pushing it into the man's chest. Is this a children's program? No, this is Tales of the Unexpected, which was grown up.
Starting point is 00:04:48 But I was on that borderline. I must have been about nine or something. And it stayed with me forever. Like, it's just, like, imprinted in my mind. And he pushes this umbrella, like this spike, really slowly into the man's chest. And then walks out and then leaves him for dead. And nobody suspects it's him. That sticks with me as a really spooky, horrible, scary thing.
Starting point is 00:05:08 I'm not surprised. I know, that's really freaky. I saw it when I was about nine. I'd say I remember watching Jack the Ripper. Oh. But that's a film, I think, isn't it? But I remember watching it on telly, you know, at home with mum and dad and it being on.
Starting point is 00:05:24 And that kind of sticking with me that old victorian london yeah and what you know the murders and stuff like that and i didn't like it at all and as you know i'm i don't like watching too many scary things but i thought i'd go back to um a show that i used to be petrified of of as soon as it came on the telly and it was kind of the credits, the opening credits, and that was Trapdoor. Oh. That's a cartoon, isn't it?
Starting point is 00:05:51 It was a cartoon. You may laugh, Jo, but all those pairs of eyes opening up in the dark, I didn't like it. Oh, my God. opening up in the dark. I didn't like it. Oh, my God. I didn't like it. I didn't like it.
Starting point is 00:06:15 And I'll tell you what we had. What? I had a board game. Oh, yes. I'm a big gamer. But it was a television board game. So it had a VHS. Yes. And it was called Atmosphere
Starting point is 00:06:25 Oh God it sounds scary to begin with I promise you and my niece Maria used to come over and we used to put it on the telly and the guy used to come up it was really scary it was a board game but you'd play along with the VHS Oh God that sounds really good
Starting point is 00:06:40 and you'd go get over there you maggot It was so petrified Sounds really good. And he'd go, get over there, you maggot! It was so petrified. And my niece used to really cry. Really, really cry. And I used to put it on on purpose. Isn't that awful? Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:06:59 But apart from that, I've been put off of many, many things because I'm just not... I don't like being scared. And I always remember being really, really scared, right? And I know that this isn't a drama or a comedy, right? But being small and Crime Watch coming on. Oh, agreed. And my parents always used to watch Crime Watch. You don't seem to be on.
Starting point is 00:07:14 You've just done Locked in Memory, I completely agree. Absolutely petrifying. And I always remember watching it, right, one night before me and my dad went into the back garden camping. We bought this tent and I was only small. I must have been about eight or something. And he set the tent up outside the back. And I remember us being in our old living room.
Starting point is 00:07:34 Crime watch was on. And I remember being on in the background as we were getting everything ready together to go outside camping. And I shit myself. I bet you did. We had to come in in the middle of the night. I was terrified. I really agree with you with that one.
Starting point is 00:07:47 Yeah. Why would you sit and watch that? I know. I don't know why you would. It was very popular though. Yeah. Oh, I don't know. And I also, right, I do love it, and this is a scary thing,
Starting point is 00:07:59 but have you ever seen, I don't even know why I'm bothering to ask you this because you won't have, any of the American Horror Story things. No. Oh my God, they're so good, right? And they're not just horror story things but there's American Horror Story Asylum. So it's the same cast. So there's Sarah Paulson, who's amazing,
Starting point is 00:08:15 Evan Peters, Jessica Lange, it's the same cast. Right. And each new season they will do a different, you know, sort of horror story type thing. Oh, it's like television rep. It is, it is. I'd like to do that myself. I tell you what, right, you story. Oh, it's like television rep. It is, it is.
Starting point is 00:08:25 I'd like to do that myself. I tell you what, right, you would love it because there's this actress, Sarah Paulson. She is amazing, right? And the amount of different characters she's played, she's just incredible. There's this one about just all witches and all of the women are witches.
Starting point is 00:08:38 It's fantastic. So I love the American horror story things. Oh, that's good. And they don't really scare me, but they do scare me. But there was only one that really frightened me and I couldn't go to bed and it was one where there were clowns.
Starting point is 00:08:48 And I just thought, oh, that's my lot. I can't do anything with clowns. I'm not a fan of the clown. No. Have you ever seen anything, any TV series with clowns in it? No, not particularly.
Starting point is 00:08:58 I'm only ever thinking about, like, not Inside Number Nine, but what was, you know, the one with Psycho Bell. Well, Inside Number Nine had clowns, didn't it? Yeah, yeah. And Psycho Bell,. 9 had clowns, didn't it? Yeah, yeah. And Psycho-Ville, that was all clowns, wasn't it?
Starting point is 00:09:08 Well, Rhys Shearsmith is obsessed by Halloween, isn't he? He absolutely loves it, doesn't he? I used to like looking at his Twitter feed and seeing what pictures he changed them to. Me too. Yeah. I'll tell you what else used to freak me out as a child. What? Grot bags.
Starting point is 00:09:21 Oh, really? Yeah. Oh, my God. But I loved gropp bags. She was just, were you really scared? Yeah. Have you ever seen any horror films? Yes.
Starting point is 00:09:32 Yeah. I went for a whole summer holiday when me and my friend Zara, at the time, used to stay at mine every night of the week. Yeah. And we'd go to the video shop and I watched every horror film. There was a time. There was a time, wasn't there yeah yeah yeah believe it or not halloween was actually my favorite oh my god really now that scares me yeah i saw something on um uh instagram the other day and people were timing themselves to see if is it michael myer yeah from yeah from halloween if if he's like there's somebody
Starting point is 00:10:05 dressed up as him walking quite slowly towards them and seeing if you could run and get to your door and open it in time before he gets you and just watching the videos going up I lost a good hour on that right the other day yeah I think to James I was pretending I was working or something but really I was upstairs in the toilet and I got myself in a loop just watching stuff. And it really freaked me out because in horror films, they're always like, you know, coming down the stairs and falling and they're just walking and the person's running and falling and running and trying to get to the door. I'll tell you what we didn't mention.
Starting point is 00:10:38 I think I've mentioned it before, but it's a scary moment in Luther when the person's under the bed. Oh, God. See, I've not even got... Because Luther is one of my ones that I've stayed with. You will love Luther. But I'm still in this marriage breakup. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:50 Because I saw a clip of Luther where somebody was crawling like that along the top deck of the bus. Yes. But I've not seen the episode yet and I've not even got the image of the person under the bed. Freaky but brilliant. Oh, God, is it awful when it just freaked me out?
Starting point is 00:11:03 Yeah, it's brilliant, though. I know it's coming from me, but if you want to scare. The other night I was in the loo, right? I've got a loo off of the kitchen. Yeah. And went to the loo and I came out and Eliza pounced on me. Oh God. I did nearly, I said, you're going to give me a heart attack. And I really hate being
Starting point is 00:11:20 scared. Yeah. I said, my reflex, you're lucky I didn't punch you. Yes. Because, you know, you just can't. Yeah. It's just, yeah, yeah, yeah. And I said, i didn't punch you yeah because you know you just can't yeah it's just yeah yeah yeah and i said please don't do that to me so i made her jump did you get it back i did it um on the tube the other day i said we gotta get off quick and she went oh i said i've got your back but i'm scared now that she's gonna it's gonna keep going because i really don't like being scared i hate jumping do you know what James did to me once? We'd been to the cinema and we'd gone to see, I think it was called The Strangers.
Starting point is 00:11:49 It was a film with Liv Tyler and another fella. And they go and stay in this hut in the middle of the woods because they're going to a friend's wedding. They come back, they've had an argument, and they're just in the middle of the woods. And suddenly there's like tapping and banging on the door and then it gets louder and louder until in the end there are these three people. There's two girls and a man and they're all wearing masks and they
Starting point is 00:12:08 break into the place and then they just basically torment them and the man has got this hessian sack over his head with these eye holes cut out it's really awful and then we got home and I was upstairs in our old house and I was hanging washing on the radiator and I suddenly heard this creaking behind me and I turned to look and our bedroom was there and then it went straight into the stairs going downstairs and I looked right and the little shit right I thought it was funny god knows why to um have put a cardboard um carrier bag right on his head a cardboard one so it was the same color it seems like he cut out two circles right and he was slowly walking up the stairs oh no and i dropped to the floor and i
Starting point is 00:12:51 screamed no like this and then he walked in then he went to take it off and started going sorry well i went absolutely and utterly berserk berserk absolutely berserk i don't think it's good for you you know it's not i don't think it's good for you, you know. It's not? I don't think it's good for you. Unfortunately. Although, is it though? Is it good, right? Not particularly him doing that, right? Because that wasn't funny and that was just awful, right?
Starting point is 00:13:14 But is it good for you to go somewhere and watch something on the telly and have a good old scream? Because don't they say it's good on a first date? Or good if you're like dating someone and then you're, you know, like, oh, good, even if you're with your someone and then you're, you know, like, oh, good. Even if you're with your husband, that you're sitting there together and your nerves and everything is so high in your emotions. And then to be to scream and be like, oh, like this, it's supposed to make you come together, isn't it? Oh, I'm all right. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:13:40 I'd rather have a gin and tonic and have a boogie around the lounge. But yeah, it's supposed to be, you know, and it's quite good to have a bit of a scare. But you could, I don't even know why I'm asking you this as well, if you've seen something scary and then you go back home afterwards or, you know, so you've watched something on the telly and then it's that bit, isn't it, of going up the stairs
Starting point is 00:14:02 to bed. Jo, let me tell you something. Yeah. I very rarely... Do I? OK, so at the end of an evening, if Mark's working late, there's no way I can turn all the lights off downstairs. So lights are left on until he comes home. I know that's really wasteful, but I'm too scared to go up in the dark.
Starting point is 00:14:25 Oh, God, yeah. And if Mark goes out before me and goes up the stairs, I go, Mark, you've not turned all the lights off. I've got to go up first. Yeah. I'm such a scaredy cat, honestly. And if I turn the lights off and he's upstairs, I run up the stairs because I feel like someone's behind me every time.
Starting point is 00:14:44 Every time. I think I'm quite a spiritual person I think there's loads of people behind me Really? Yeah, I think I've got people around me all the time Do you think they're good people or bad people? I don't know, I just think there's loads and loads of people And this is why I am the way I am with this stuff Oh God, I'm always scared like that though
Starting point is 00:15:00 I couldn't turn the lights off and just turn them all off And then just walk up the stairs It's not for me No, I agree with you now before we listen to the spooky voice notes we've got one to play that's still on the brand with halloween and it's about how you say werewolf we are wealth we are wolf we are wealth there it is hi both absolutely loving the pod at the minute i'm all over your guys recommendations and i just came to say that joe i think werewolf is a welsh thing because i'm north wales and i've heard that many times before and natalie my best friend is also born on friday the 13th and she considers
Starting point is 00:15:36 it a lucky number two so it's her lucky day not an unlucky day like some people say um yeah so i think she would agree with you there and i'm also a scorpio oh very good wow weird that i'm born on friday the 13th isn't it yeah i don't like halloweeny things i know it is isn't it but i was looking right because noah was born on the 13th of december and his birthday this year is going to be on a friday and when i was looking in the um this morning i thought to myself oh i'm going to start celebrating Friday the 13th as like a really happy, it's Friday the 13th, like a really good thing.
Starting point is 00:16:11 It's a fortunate day in some countries, I believe. Is it? Yeah, I think so. So I go for that, you know. Yeah. Well, we are wolf. It's a Welsh thing then. Well, we are wolf. We areolf. Weawolf.
Starting point is 00:16:30 Right, let's get into some of these voice notes about the spooky telly moments. Never forget being able to watch Jonathan Creek for the first time. You know, being allowed to stay up and vivid memories of her cutting up a latex mask to disappear and putting it in paint pots. Terrifying but amazing at the same time isn't it mad how certain things just really stick out for you and just stick in your memory did she say jonathan creek yeah oh i wonder if the cutting up the cutting up of a latex mask she said i wonder
Starting point is 00:17:00 if it was caroline quentin cutting it up then because she said she cut it up. Possibly. Oh, anything to do with masks. Masks, clowns, having your face hidden. That freaks me out. Funny though, because I never thought Jonathan Creek was overly scary. No, I've never found her overly scary, but maybe it's because we never saw the episode with the latex mask. And maybe she was a bit younger. Yeah. Because it does change, doesn't it?
Starting point is 00:17:24 Well, it does. And it it well it does i mean sort of shades how you think of things you know what i mean yeah different times of your life and it can really really foggy the path it can going forward well i mean you're still hung up on trapdoor it's true you may laugh you can continue to laugh Jo. Carry on laughing while we listen to this one. I'm a huge, huge horror fan. And one of my fondest memories of a horror show is actually seeing Psychoville when it first came out. I had never seen anything like it. And I remember being quite unsure about it when I first saw it, thinking this is the weirdest thing I've ever seen.
Starting point is 00:18:01 But ended up absolutely loving it. It was just that kind of perfect mix of, it wasn't terrifying, but it was disturbing enough to kind of keep you up at night sometimes. It's true though, isn't it? Psychoville and League of Gentlemen, anything that they do. It's just, yeah, it's quite extraordinary. And I think what they do brilliantly is that kind of, that weirdness, that darkness. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:18:27 But again, along with the comedy side of things, but some stuff's quite gruesome and quite grimacing, but at the same time, it's ridiculous as well. Yeah. And so unexpected as well. I mean, you don't know that, you know, especially with their inside number nine things and then it gets to the end and then suddenly it's like you're caught and trapped before you've realised. And you're like, oh, my God. And oh, it just sits with you, doesn't it? And it's just it's just horrible. It's scary.
Starting point is 00:18:53 Have you seen the Ring Doorbell episode of Inside Number 9? Yes, it's good, isn't it? It's good, isn't it? Yes, it really is. The neighbours and it's brilliant, isn't it? I just love that because really is. The neighbours and it's brilliant, isn't it? I just love that because it is. It just leaves you so unsettled and then you just feel quite disturbed. And then it's just there with you then for a while.
Starting point is 00:19:12 I just like all the little morals to it. It's like you said, you know, each tale, it tells you something at the end. And you should never judge a book by its cover. Shall we have another voice now? Yeah, go on. Hi, Natalie and Jo. Subject of spooky tv well i tend to avoid all spooky programs so i um get taken by surprise when there's
Starting point is 00:19:34 unexpected spookiness and this happened to me with the bergerac christmas edition um about a medium who communes with with the dead and obviously trying to get this woman's money off her. But I had nightmares with the Christmas edition in 1986. I literally didn't sleep. We watched it as normal sitting around the TV. My parents didn't know it was going to be spooky. I literally did not sleep. So if you can search up Christmas edition, I think it's called The Fires of the Fall or something about fires. Literally so spooky. Even now as an adult, I wouldn't watch it again.
Starting point is 00:20:18 But I was freaked out. Oh, my God. I absolutely love that. I've gone on YouTube to try and find the Bergerac Christmas special from, I think, 1986. That can't be overly scary, surely.
Starting point is 00:20:34 Oh my god, we've just got to find it. We've got to find it because that's amazing. That does sound really fun, actually. She couldn't sleep after watching the Bergerac Christmas special. I know, but she hasn't said how old she is. She could have been four for all we know. I know, I know.
Starting point is 00:20:49 Oh, my gosh. But Bergerac wasn't scary, was it? Bergerac wasn't. And they wouldn't have made it super scary for the Crimbo special, would they? That is hilarious. You're not all going to come out, are you, doing some sort of... Some sort of scary dance scary dancing i'm going to have to find that on youtube yeah that is just incredible i think we should can we have another voice note i don't like any scary shows um even
Starting point is 00:21:17 hocus pocus scares the hell out of me i won't have it on in the house the problem and even shauna the dead which is supposed to be a comedy i can't do zombie things and i wouldn't even have the dvd on the shelf in my house it had to be out of the house because it freaked me the hell out um the problem is my daughter is completely the other way and absolutely loves horror films it was always the thing of she asked if she could watch something when she was a bit younger i said no and she'd still go ahead and watch it anyway so now she asked me if she can sit and watch the likes of it with me and things along those lines and she'll tell me when to cover my face and when to hide and when there's going to be jump scares because I really hate the jump scares
Starting point is 00:22:01 so yeah great fun we're really chalk and cheese my daughter not on everything but definitely on movie taste so yeah that's me i'm afraid can't do any spooky shows i'm with you also yeah don't say no to things like that because they're going to rebel the kids oh yeah they're just going to rebel and do the complete opposite i've thought of a funny story actually about spooky stuff i had a friend at school called rachel and her mum she had a birthday party and it was to dress up as witches and my mum went all out i got all of the lovely witch's hat the wig i had all the big plastic you remember the 90s plastic fingernails you put on? And I had all the stuff and I did all my face. I looked really the best witch ever.
Starting point is 00:22:48 And we got there, she was a fucking fairy. Oh my God, really? She was all done up in beautiful white. My mum was furious. But it really, it just reminded me as we were doing this spooky stuff. Yes. A little memory there it's funny isn't it when you go to something and then they will say let's everybody turn up as witches
Starting point is 00:23:13 it's always got to be a sexy witch isn't it I'd rather go full thing and just go scary me too and also I went to a party and it was a 50th birthday and it said fancy dress, you know. So I put, you know, a wig on and... Yeah.
Starting point is 00:23:30 If it's fancy dress, I'm going to look silly. It's fancy dress. Everyone was just in normal clothes. Were they? Yeah, and I just looked like a bit of a dickhead. Oh, my God. Do you think that's because we're actresses? If we weren't actresses, I'd still go full force for it.
Starting point is 00:23:43 Because if it's fancy dress, it's's fancy dress no one was in a wig should we have our last voice note yes please oh and i hope it's a scary one now i hope it's one that's going to frighten us oh good yeah brilliant my husband and i watched this amazing series on netflix a couple of years ago called the haunting of hill house i'm sure a lot of your listeners have seen it, have talked about it. If you haven't seen it, you have to see it. It is one of the scariest things that I've seen in years. It's proper jump scares. Either that or, of course, Stranger Things. Have you seen Stranger Things? What do you think? I loved it. I loved it. First few series I loved and I thought it was great. Yeah. And then the last series I watched where it was that awful man sort of, I mean,
Starting point is 00:24:33 for me as well, pushed it a little bit too far for me. And it suddenly became not what it was about when it first started. It all became really quite gruesome and horrible. And I was a bit like, oh, Jesus, this is a bit much. Right. What did you think? No, I didn't see it. Oh. Well, the first few series I think you'd love. Really? Yeah. Young 80s driving BMXs and oh, it's just really cool.
