This week, Hayley, Duncan and Tommy take a wonderfully weird wander through the world of bending spoons, double glazing, draughty windows, and banana-related childhood trauma. From Uri Geller's "psychic" tricks to 80s wallpaper paste ads and Christmas cigar jingles, the gang ramble their way through memories of adverts, awkward dances, dodgy dinners and the strange magic of growing up in Britain. In This Episode Uri Geller & the power of persuasion: Duncan has his suspicions, Tommy blames magnets, and Hayley diplomatically settles on "entertainer." The lost household art of "draught finding" — licking your lips to find where the cold air came in before double glazing ruined the fun. 1980s adverts galore: from helicopter wallpaper paste men to Barrett Homes voiceovers by Patrick Allen. Funeral plan commercials — why is everyone so cheerful about cremation? Tommy's impromptu performance of "Tom Thumb Cigars for Christmas" and other festive jingles that marked the real start of Christmas. Stories of Ian Botham and Viv Richards, with Tommy recalling a legendary night that went hilariously off-script. A nostalgic detour into Minder, with Tommy realising it was actually a comedy (and perfecting his Arthur Daley impression). Charlie Mullins chat — political flip-flopping and the perils of too much bleach. Hayley's forgotten first slow dance leads to talk of teenage discos, dodgy fashion, and Duncan's "octopus" moment. Vegan dating dilemmas — Linda McCartney sausages, meat-free rules, and the great "what counts as a sausage" debate. Tommy's's reflections on post-war Britain: first bananas, boiled courgettes, and caterpillars in cabbage. Duncan's banana phobia — thanks to a childhood in Curaçao involving ants in the fruit.
