"Dorothy is planning to marry Whizzer, but ALF's Melmacian hiccups put the wedding in jeopardy."

It barely seems like two seconds since Dorothy was being appalled by her new neighbour Whizzer and now they're hitched. What a strange time to be alive...especially if you're an unpleasantly hiccuping ALF. Is there a connection between these two plot lines? Good luck if you can find it. We even brought in a ringer to help!

You'll probably know Ruth Husko from being brilliant on social media here - https://x.com/dank_ackroyd - but is increasingly turning up in lots of interesting places. She does turn down many podcasts however so we're extremely fortunate to have her here as a new convert to the cause. The cause of ALF's anus.

"Lynn is depressed over being dumped by a boyfriend for a prettier girl, so ALF enters her in a beauty pageant to increase her self-confidence."

Its an oddly familiar plot as excuse for some great gags about clog dancing. ALF is at his jerky best here but perhaps for once its well placed? Your hosts as ever are Ben Baker and John Matthews who are dressed in a crimpolence blouse with ruffs from Top Shop and rather too much make-up.

"After watching a presidential debate, Kate has recurring dreams of running against ALF."

Another election? Did we not just do that? Well, its time to strap on your best Uncle Sam hat and never wear trousers as its a politically charged episode of ALF today - so much so we've actually bumped it up the running order a little to make it super topical and relevant. I mean, as much as a sitcom about a hairy dwarf alien can.

Kissing babies and taking names as always are your hosts Ben Baker and John Matthews who wonder if ALF as President might actually be a good thing. Especially as we recorded this a week before the election cycles results were announced....
