In our latest episode we discuss the legendary Leyline High episode Harvest Scare-stival from 1984. (You remember? It's the one with the Corn-on-the-Cob Monster that kills the dinnerlady?)

And we also get onto the subject of our favourite autumnal hymns. 🍂

7: Harvest Scare-stival (1984) — Gemma Arrowsmith

NEW EPISODE! This month we're looking at Harvest Scare-stival (1984), a fan favourite episode.

Pippa finds a strange unlabelled tin at the back of the cupboard & takes it to school for harvest festival. But she's not prepared for the evil it unleashes.

The Zombie School Cup Final episode was a landmark episode, particularly the bit when Biffo's arms came off in goal.

My Doctor Who character Ruth Lyons didn't get a Top Trump card but @thomasnelstrop.bsky.social's character Ben Wainwright did. This is the Blue Peter badge injustice all over again!

We have a lead on one of the Leyline High show creators!

If you have any ideas on how we could reunite these famously reclusive writers, do get in touch. We think Jacqueline "Jackie" Jackson might be running an antiques shop somewhere in the Wirral but this is unconfirmed.

In the last episode we did a rundown of Leyline High actors who had pop careers. Are there any we missed?

In our latest episode, before playing Leyline High Top Trumps, Gemma & Thomas discuss their roles in Doctor Who.👇🔊

Nostalgia alert!

Ours broke too, but we worked out that if everyone shuffled their chairs around the table as we played, it was actually a better experience.

6: It’s a New You (1983)

NEW EPISODE! And it’s a back to school special.

🃏 Leyline High Top Trumps!
🎤 Actors’ pop careers!
🎥 Plus the longest tracking shot in the history of the show.

Lyine HIGH REWIND Listeners' memories Rosie Fletcher @rosieatlarge.bsky.social • My favourite episode was the Eastenders crossover for Comic Relief where it's revealed that Wellard is a man trapped in the body of a dog. Never mentioned again! Mikey Mongol @mikeymongol.bsky.social I would say any of the episodes with the characters from the snooty girls' school, St. Raven's. I guess I preferred when episodes had a clear antagonist, instead of when they went ambiguous? Pity the spinoff never materialized.

Lyline HIGH REWIND Listeners' memories Ticket to Carcassonne @tooksberry.bsky.social I remember that fans used to say how they hid behind the sofa when they were watching it. The writers cottoned on to this, and they had that episode where sofas started eating people. Genius! jaeneas @jaeneas.bsky.social @leylinehighrewind.bsky.social Hi, catching up on your first episode and it took me back to my own schooldays. You mentioned the Hellmouth opening and the funny thing was my school was Mouthell High! Ovedascy @ovedascy.bsky.social - That convoluted 80s one where the guy with a metal eyeball sets up a chess tournament in the canteen, just so they could call it Nickel Eye Chow Chess Queue. - The banned 70s one with the disco demon, where everything was sung but they hadn't cleared the rights, Blame it on the Boogeyman.

... Which she had made in the first place. Structurally, that episode had a lot in common with Raiders of the Lost Ark. #Spielberg is actually on tape saying he was heavily influenced by LLH.

Was it Mavis the Dinner Lady?

We've dug up some absolute delights from the Leyline High music archives so far.

DON'T RAISE THE DEAD climbed to no.3 in the UK charts in 1986. Have you ever resurrected the dead? Would this song have stopped you?

#leylinehigh #music #podcast #1980s

Just managed to turn a long yawn into the chorus of Enigma's Return to Innocence. What long yawn songs have you managed to achieve (one yawn only)? #longyawnsongs

Triple Threat (1993) was a classic episode. Who remembers it?

Doctor Who - The Tardis is set to land on CBeebies The BBC is looking for a production company to create and produce the series, which will run independently from the main show

OK, I’m putting it out into the universe NOW that I want to write on this.

I’ve written Doctor Who & spin-offs for Big Finish and I’ve written on a bunch of CBeebies shows. I can do this. If you end up producing this, hire me.

Cosmic order: send.

Do you remember the episode "On Your Own Time" (1989)? The next day, kids in playgrounds up & down the country were walking in slow motion & wouldn't stop. It became quite a problem. There were special assemblies about it and everything.

It's ALIVE!
