Danny Baker summed it up beautifully. He said that the palace of Westminster would make a great hotel, but they’re not going to convert it into one, are they?

When the brilliant and inspired Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie did PG Wodehouse’s “Jeeves & Wooster” in the 1990’s it was a pure joy. Because they didn’t appear to be acting.

Sowerby & Luff write… Symphony of Lights creates “a stunning all-round vision of the coloured lights in Hong Kong, performing an unforgettable spectacle along the harbour front.” “Has it started yet?” I asked a fellow tourist with a video camera. “Yes, five minutes ago” she said. “I hadn’t noticed” I said.

We’re famous for queuing in this country. We as a nation have stood proudly in queues for centuries. Our grandparents queued for rations during the Blitz, our fathers queued noisily outside football stadiums, and our mothers queued patiently to go to the toilet in Marks & Spencer.

Sowerby & Luff write… The Museum of Sex opened in New York in 2002 and, despite its provocative title, claims to offer a studied, historical look at the history of sex in our culture. We put fresh batteries into Roland and took him along, so we could make audio notes as we went. Sex and […]

Oh no, it’s time for another batch of sick-making Christmas ads. We all cried buckets at last year’s John Lewis ad in which a cute little boy looked forward to Christmas, not because of his own greed, but because he wanted to give his mum a lovely present. Yeah, right. This year’s ad is called […]

We love meeting up with other podcasters, comedians and musicians, partly because it’s a damned good excuse to go to the pub, but also because it gives us an opportunity to drop the names of famous people into our podcasts.

Sowerby & Luff write… Perhaps the most stupid of all the regular features in our early podcasts was Name That Bird.

Sowerby & Luff write… Located in the centre of England’s most perfectly preserved medieval town, The Swan at Lavenham is one of the UK’s finest examples of a 15th century coaching inn, and we eagerly looked forward to staying there.

Brian Luff writes… For a while now, Dr Who’s storylines have been a tad over-complicated and a little too cerebral and complex for the show’s younger viewers.

In the week that Poland crashed out of Euro2012 in the early group stages, I thought you might like to hear a more upbeat little anecdote about Polish football. In 1973 an English player called Martin Chivers was picked to play in a World Cup qualifying game against Poland. England had to win this game […]

Sowerby and Luff write… So, the England Supporters Band were denied access to the first Euro2012 England Game in the Ukraine, and their instruments were confiscated by security. We can only hope those same instruments were then thrown into a blast furnace and melted down for scrap metal. Since 1996 we’ve been forced to listen […]
Brian Luff writes… I should begin by saying that I like Big Brother. I watch Big Brother every year. But with the launch of Big Brother 13, the show appears to have strayed yet further from its innovative roots – that of a genuinely interesting and engaging social experiment. We’ll begin with the positives: The […]

Cheesy Wotsits & the History of Western Philosophy by Brian Luff “Jean-Paul Sartre had eyes that looked in different directions, so you never really knew in which direction he was philosophising.” This book is about nothing. In mathematics there’s only one way for nothing to exist, but there are an infinite number of ways for […]
Sowerby & Luff write… The Lygon Arms in Broadway is a beautiful coaching inn built from golden Cotswold stone and is rich in history and charm. The hotel has an international reputation for good cuisine and unashamed luxury. There are old beams, neatly trimmed hedges and a sumptuous indoor swimming pool and spa. They even […]
Brian Luff writes… I like to think that my wildly caricatured impressions of Derek Acorah on the podcast are mildly accurate, but Georgina and I have always prided ourselves on doing impressions of celebrities that sounded absolutely nothing like themselves. Like Georgina’s wild stab at sweet Scottish actress Hannah Gordon, or my dreadful Ray Winstone, […]
Brian Luff writes… Ever since my hospital broadcasting days I’ve clearly had something of an obsession with radio. Even when Georgina and I went on holiday to Lanzarote, when we first met, I somehow become embroiled with that island’s curious little radio station. One evening, we were sitting in the bar of our hotel, listening […]

So the dog won Britain’s Got Talent. A part of me always knew that it was going to happen. It wasn’t going to be the Welsh choir with hundreds of dedicated members who had practiced for thousands of hours and sounded like a host of angels. It wasn’t going to be the injured ballroom dancer […]

Sowerby and Luff write… This joint is obviously where New Yorkers went when they wanted to pretend to be Texans, and the whole restaurant was based on the idea of an indoor barbecue. Hickory wood was piled high next to the kitchen, and you ordered your meat by the pound. God, the Americans love their […]
Weightless quail chicks in space. Plus, personal submarines, wooden laptops, blind novelists, Mr McFeely & the Purple Panda and one-eyed snakes on a plane.

Brian Luff writes… Like many amateur depressives, I have frequently felt that the world was out to get me. Just me. I got annoyed when the flat was untidy and then even more angry if Georgina tried to tidy it up. I believed that the London Underground system was hot, overcrowded and airless specifically to […]

Sowerby and Luff write: Georgina and I were once invited to talk about comedy in a live interview for a drivetime show on local radio. The BBC doesn’t expect anyone from London to actually travel to any of its more far-flung outposts of broadcasting, so we were instructed to go to Television Centre in Shepherd’s […]

From a plethora of prices and locations she chose ‘Snow White and the Seven Dwarves’, a professional […]
Brian Luff writes… What the hell are you supposed to do with the Bit Between Christmas and the New Year?

The Apprentice (BBC1) is sometimes so excruciatingly cringe-making, I have to turn away from the TV and put my head in my hands. When gormless, blank-faced Leon was fired last night it was like watching a sick puppy being taking to the vet and put to sleep – inevitable, but still rather sad and pathetic. […]
Britain feels cheated. Having been assured that Britain’s Got Talent was a fix, and that Ronan Parke was absolutely 100% guaranteed to win, we had to witness the humiliating, deflating spectacle of the effeminate 12 year old coming second. The nation now has little choice but to call into question its creeping mistrust of Simon […]
When Margaret and Ian Snaith bought an old Victorian farmhouse in Norfolk, I doubt they imagined that 23 years later Titchwell Manor would become an elegant, award-winning restaurant with 27 designer bedrooms and a local reputation that is second to none.

In 2009 Georgina and I were back in Edinburgh with another showcase gig called “Sowerby & Luff’s All Stars”. The plan was that we would compere the first week of the show then come back to London leaving the gig to be hosted by a variety of guest hosts. This seemed like a good idea […]
In August 2008 Georgina and I decided to do a show on the Edinburgh Fringe. Called “Sex Tips for Pandas” the idea was that we would perform the book on stage, while at the same time hosting a showcase of up and coming comedians. We also planned to record every show and release a new […]
Sowerby & Luff write… Since sunset in Singapore always takes place punctually at 7.30 pm, everyone always knows exactly when to show up at the Night Safari. We arrived promptly, in broad daylight, at 7.29 pm, and a minute later the sky was pitch black. I swear I heard a click as night fell. We […]
Sowerby & Luff write… To our surprise, Chinatown in Singapore was adorned with Christmas decorations. Neither Georgina nor I had ever been in a hot country during the run up to the festive season, and it was truly bizarre to see Santa Claus and his reindeer sweltering in the tropical heat, or Frosty the Snowman […]
Sowerby & Luff write… Following our Hong Kong tourist map carefully, we climbed up Lok Ku Road through the tumbledown “stone ladder” streets and markets of the “Mid-Levels”.
