Minnov8 Gang 316 – A Grand Day Out

June 6, 2015 By Steve Borsch

Once again, Steve’s selection of music finds Phil and Tim a bit bemused and it reminds Phil of the claymation shorts and films starring Wallace & Gromit (Wikipedia; official site).

Later on we mention the story, Could UFO sighting be sign Large Hadron Collider has created portal to another dimension? which is, admittedly, a stretch as a tie-in: The first Wallace & Gromit film was a Grand Day Out*, where cheese-loving Wallace suggests a visit to the solar system’s biggest ball of cheese, our moon, because they just ran out of it.

Hosts: Steve Borsch, Tim Elliott and Phil Wilson (Graeme Thickins is off).
Music: Country Trouble by Dexter Britain under a Creative Commons License.
