The Elis James and John Robins Experience

THE cult TV and radio comedy duo are back. Elis James and John Robins, who are stars of the Chortle Award Nominated Radio X weekend show and cult podcast, have announced their debut UK tour for 2016 entitled:- 'The Elis James and John Robins Experience.' The tour takes in 20 dates starting on 6 October 2016, at the Norwich Playhouse and culminating on 14 November 2016, at London's Kentish Town Forum. The Kentish Town Forum is additional London show due to overwhelming public demand as the Shepherds Bush Empire date sold out in 3 days! This comes off the back of shows earlier this year in Cardiff and Salford that sold out months in advance. With an army of fans this is a massive underground and cult hit that follows in the footsteps of great Radio X podcasts from:- Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant, Russell Brand and Adam and Joe. This podcast is unique, having created its own world that people love being a part of with its own language. Do you know the meaning of the following phrases and expressions? PDC? One-er? Son of a Coin? Keep It Session? Are you on email? You simply have to be these days. This is your chance to finally taste the vibe when Elis and John take their hit podcast on the road! The show will mix familiar features with some specially prepared treats and the odd #keepitsession ale. Expect 'Sacred Cows' deemed "too obscure" (Producer Dave) for broadcast, textual healing live, and maybe even a new chapter of A Robins Amongst The Pigeons! May contain scenes of #maximumshunting. If the above doesn't make sense to you then do something about it and listen to the duo's podcast! John Robins commented:- "For over 2 years now Elis and I have been flying the flag for a number of grassroots issues: session ales below 4.5%, 19th Century Welsh communists and the rock band Queen, so it seems fitting that we've sold out this historic venue with a plug on our podcast, a handful of tweets and inevitably, the odd email."

CCTV Appeal after a Motorbike was stolen in Birkdale

MERSEYSIDE Police Detectives, in Sefton, have realised CCTV of a man they want to trace in connection with a burglary in Birkdale where a motorbike was stolen. Up to 4 offenders, including 1 woman, are believed to have been involved in the break in at the house in Liverpool Road, on Friday, 5 August 2016. After knocking at the front door and getting no reply the three male offenders tried to force their way inside the garage, 1st through the main garage door and then the side door. After failing to get in, the group targeted a UPVC kitchen door at the back of the house and after forcing entry using garden tools, stole the key to the garage when the victim's KTM motorbike was stored. Again, the offenders used the victim's own tools to damage locks on the motorbike and 2 mountain bikes which were also being stored in the garage. Detectives believe the offenders then wheeled all 3 bikes off the driveway and escaped. The victims returned to their house to find considerable damage had been caused to their property and their motorbike and mountain bikes missing. Detective Sergeant Jason Ennis from Marsh Lane CID said:- "This burglary was carried out by up to four offenders who were determined to get inside that property and steal the motorbike they believed was inside. By forcing their way in using tools they helped themselves to they have caused a huge amount of damage to the couple's home which has added to the distress they were already suffering from being burgled. This incident happened while the couple were out for a walk on Friday afternoon so I am keen to hear from anyone who saw or heard anything suspicious. A female offender tried the doorbell and when she didn't get an answer, the three male offenders scaled the side gate and broke in through the back door. This would have been a noisy and taken some time so potentially alerted neighbours or passers by. We are also keen to hear from anyone who recognises the man in the CCTV still taken from the victim's home CCTV system. If anyone knows who he is, please contact us on:- 0151 777 3841 or Crimestoppers on:- 0800 555 111."
