    In this episode we chat with Ben Addison from Boys Wonder, the band described by Jim Moir as “the greatest band that never was”. Ben discusses his long-time friendship with Jim, from daytime drinking in Covent Garden to making home videos on tour in France to Jim introducing them on stage for the band’s recent comeback show. Also hear how an admin mix-up may have robbed Boys Wonder the chance of recording a possible hit single with Vic Reeves, and of when Ben’s other band Corduroy had a brief encounter with a Carry On legend.

    Quite A Boast - Episode 28 - Charlie Chuck
    Nov 9 2025

    DONKEY! In this episode we speak to the one and only David Kear, better known as Charlie Chuck. David regales us with a myriad of anecdotes from his many years in showbusiness; taking in everyone from Malcolm Hardee & Deborah Meaden to The Grumbleweeds & Sir Paul McCartney. We also find out how a sparsely attended performance in Edinburgh lead to David being offered the role of Uncle Peter on 'The Smell of Reeves & Mortimer'. I’ll tell yer that!
