Sometimes you just can't find room on #OffTheChart for that anecdote about the tape you made for your mate's party, or that Jimmy Nail impression, or that coughing fit, so here are some bits that didn't make this week's show. patreon.com/posts/off-char…

If you can't wait for tomorrow to hear #OffTheChart again, you could consider backing us on Patreon... as little as $1 a month gets you access to the deluxe edition of the show and much, much more! patreon.com/posts/off-char…
