This week, Tommy, Hayley, and Duncan dive into a lively mix of memories, mishaps, and misheard lyrics. From nostalgic reflections on News at Ten to the quirks of old-school weathermen and the unexpected afterlives of 80s pop stars, the conversation takes plenty of funny turns. They reminisce about when the whole nation gathered for News at Ten, why it's no longer the same communal experience, and the charm of magnetic weather boards complete with falling letters and the legendary "F in Fog." Famous faces such as Reginald Bosanquet, Alastair Stewart, and Wincey Willis get a mention, as do music icons from A Tribe of Toffs to Hawkwind, Showaddywaddy, and The Beatles. The episode also explores the joy of misheard lyrics and old adverts, with Hayley recalling an unfortunate Fairy Liquid trauma. There are flashbacks to once-popular perfumes and aftershaves like Charlie, So…?, Old Spice, Brute, and High Karate, as well as nostalgic cookbooks and TV chefs from Mrs Beeton and Delia Smith to Lloyd Grossman. Tufty the squirrel makes an appearance as the unlikely road safety hero, and there are side tangents about squirrels being "rats with good PR," Tommy's memories of Through the Keyhole, and why fantasy football doesn't quite work for everyone.
