Never again. Fan fiction is never going to be the same again. We're back in the new year, featuring a fat Simon, an art dealer, a nasal feudal system, and a royal cover-up...
It was extremely windy in the UK when we filmed this, sorry if some wind noise creeps in every now and again!

Yes, we couldn't quite believe that we got this article either. But don't fear - we don't actually talk about music that much! In this episode Simon has a complete breakdown, we talk about films, scaring kids, and a rather saucy fan fiction has Dan serving Simon coq au vin... minus the vin.
