Do The Right Thing

Hello!This isn't a new episode of Do The Right Thing (sob!) but we thought you might like to sample Margaret's new(ish) podcast Crushed! - and in particular the latest episode in which she chats to Danielle about her crushes and unrequited loves in all their intense and embarrassing glory. Within there is plenty of discussion of why stand ups make terrible boyfriends, which two qualities you'd have to have to date Danielle, and some frankly filthy discussion of the hottest star of Red Dwarf - Chris Barrie. Yes, you read that right. Chris Barrie. If you like it then why not subscribe to the show by searching for 'Crushed by Margaret Cabourn-Smith' wherever you usually do that sort of thing.

Chris Addison and Anna Mann are the gifts that keep on giving in the 2019 Christmas Special! It is a very traditional affair, with all the usual festive ingredients you'd expect, including squirrels, gimp masks, sword fighting, an abbatoir and Danke Jonathan.
