Episode 118 - Takin' Over the Asylum (1994)

It’s our first proper episode of 2025! Join us as we discuss the
1994 classic, Takin’ Over the Asylum. A six-part BBC
Scotland television drama about a radio station in
a Glasgow psychiatric hospital. The show follows
a double glazing salesman Eddie McKenna (Ken Stott) who
re-establishes a radio station at St Jude's, with patients as its
presenters and volunteers, notably Campbell (David Tennant) and a
supporting cast of Katy Murphy, Angus Macfadyen, Matt Costello,
Gavin Mitchell and Elizabeth Spriggs.


In the news we find out what Reverend Richard Coles has been
trying to smuggle through customs, discuss Scottish skateboarder
Andy Macdonald, find out which saucy romp got Prince William
banned from a Scottish video shop and we meet another proud owner
of a Gregg’s tattoo.
