One Footer in the Grave, all episodes
With one foot in the door of their retirement home for senior web designers, Paul Boag, Andy Clarke, Jon Hicks, and Marcus Lillington get together once a month to distract each other from everyday life and work.
The show’s funny and frivolous and the chaps have a genuinely unique chemistry and will entertain you if you work on the web and even if you don’t.

16: Contorted in a Nissan Qashqai
Back after their summer break, the four chaps decide whether each other’s improbable stories are a lie or the truth. Jon talks about his new car, Andy brings up his gout (again), and neither are at all cross about Paul and Marcus restarting the Boagworld podcast. This episode of One Footer in the Grave is appropriately sponsored by Allopurinol, the gout medication for when your big toe hurts like a b@stard.
15: Vote for me or the baby gets it
It’s UK General Election time and the chaps have gathered to discuss it, but without mentioning politics. What would their top policies be if they were running for office? What do they think of novelty candidates like Count Binface? Plus, why are political party websites so terrible? Andy tells his story about being in the audience for BBC Question Time and the strange tale of designing for an intergalactic space warrior.
14: Scarlett Johansson is in the room
Andy, Jon, Marcus, and Paul are back—sooner than expected—for another fun-packed episode. They talk about who’s voice they’d each like as an AI companion, Apple,Apple’s new iPads and why devices are now so thin that they crack when Andy sits on them. Then, inevitably, they discuss what they think about the new Dr Who.
