    Mental Health Awareness Week 11-17th May 2026

    As a team, we always endeavour to put the fun into each of our shows. Occasionally, there is a subject that needs serious consideration, and a segment of this week's show did exactly that, under the guidance of Chris Criddle, who speaks candidly about the issues he encountered himself. As a reminder, we can all be one small step away from suffering from mental health issues, not just for a week, but for some, it can be a considerable and even a desperate time. We will let Chris explain, and of course, hopefully it leaves you totally aware that there is ALWAYS someone there to help or talk to.

    For those that remember. How do you think Leonard Sachs would introduce such a varied show as the Old Gits & Hits.......WELL, try this for size.

    A Grandiloquent Greeting from the City Varieties! Ladies and Gentlemen, Me-Lords, Ladies, and Gentlemen! Pray, silence! Cast your sensory waves toward the proscenium arch and prepare to be transported, transfixed, and—dare I suggest—totally transformed! Today, we present for your delectation and your absolute, unadulterated diversion, a broadcast of unparalleled brilliance! We welcome to our illustrious airwaves the purveyors of that auditory extravaganza known as The Old Gits & Hits! Today, they shall engage in a tripartite tussle of topicality, a cacophony of conversation, a veritable Cornucopia of Contention! Observe as they dissect: The Gracious Game of Golf: That "splendid walk spoiled," where men of a certain vintage pursue a diminutive dimpled orb with a determination bordering on the demonic! The Sudsy Saga of Soap: From the bubbling cauldrons of cleanliness to the melodramatic machinations of the afternoon serial—a subject both fragrant and fractured! The Piquant Palatability of Pizza: That circular, savoury, and suspiciously Italianate disc of dough, topped with a plethora of perilous provender! Will there be agreement? Never! Will there be harmony? Hardly! But will there be a high-spirited hootenanny of heritage and hits? Incontestably! So, I implore you, put your digital digits together, raise the rafters of your celestial cavern, and give a gargantuan, Gallic, and GORGEOUS welcome to... THE OLD GITS AND HITS! Incidentally, I think you might just like it.

    What's in a word anyway, (well, apparently quite a lot)

    Well, we thought we would add this very short snippet from our visit to Clevedon, Somerset, where we recorded the whole show live. As we were standing, recording the programme in a bandstand on the seafront,  our discussion focused on the fact that there was zero graffiti anywhere on the bandstand, which, given the amount we see in most outdoor places around the country, was a testament to either the locals in Clevedon or the community. Then, as is usual, Chris managed to lower the tone of the whole show with one word. Now we won't spoil it for you, but listen in and see if you understood the word before David did (he actually had to look it up).  Anyway, it made us chuckle, and hopefully you to. Thats it, short and simple this week. Although, of course, you can listen to the whole show, and in future news, we will be reactivating our YouTube channel, so stay tuned for when that's happening.
