Mike, Louis & Fred Not since the advent of the metric system have the people of Thornbury been quite so excited. The Better Show! with Mike, Louis and Frederick (formerly ‘Bath Time Radio’) brings you unrehearsed, manic chat, topical banter, biting satire, an eclectic selection of music, special guest stars from as far a field as Rudgeway and items so avant-garde that they have the potential to be dangerous. All this in a cream filled pastry of a radio format. Over the course of an hour, the listener will experience the radio equivalent of a full prefrontal lobotomy. Your thorax will be itching as we cover issues relevant to members of the community. The Better Show! with Mike, Louis and Fred is brought to you by: Frederick ‘The Ravenous’ Fred is the avid collector of lamp shades. It has been rumoured that he can recite the complete literary works of Mikhail Lermontov, his favourite Russian romantic poet of the 19th century (excluding Alexander Pushkin, naturally). Mike ‘Big Hitter’ Somewhat more cultured than Frederick, Mike is a great lover of the arts. Though he recognises Frederick’s love of 19th century Russian poetry, Mike sees it as more of a teenage infatuation that will soon pass, to be replaced by something more mainstream such as a love of the eight patriarchs of the doctrine in Shingon Lineages, in particular Amoghavajra; one of the most prolific and politically powerful Buddhist monks of the Tang Dynasty. Mike himself, however, prefers indulging himself in the ancient art of manjusri, a bodhisattva in the Mahayana and Vajrayana traditions of Buddhism, considered a yidam, or titular deity, in Tibet. Louis ‘Submucosa Lover’ Louis, the rabbit of the three, is a great lover of oesophageal tissue (especially those containing secretory glands). However, his favourite contractile tissue has to be the Bulbospongiosus, though the Ischiocavernosus does come really rather close. Often considered an intelligent extrovert, Louis is a purveyor of enlightenment, particularly when the people of Thornbury are involved. Taking your calls each evening is our resident receptionist, affectionately known by the police and media as The Beast of Exmoor. We just call him Adalhard von Fenstermacher. Little is known about him beyond his cryptozoological acts. We never got round to asking him before his muntin bar accident that left him lame, dumb and blind in one eye. So we put him on the phones. So why not tune in Tuesday evenings around about 7:00pm till 8:00pm with Mike, Louis, Frederick and Adalhard?
