Join us for A Wee Natter, the radio show about the not so important issues of the day. This week we kick off by accepting some feedback that the show has too much Marc in it and not enough Jenny.

That's confirmed with an exploration of want you want to be remembered for where we find out how much better people you are than us!
With the scurge of pumpkin spice descending upon us, we ask you what you're looking forward to. Turns out Marc isn't looking towards the end of Slimtember having forgotten to take his measurements this week!

Slimtember continues. Can Marc really stop eating all the pies or will he divert attention by getting angry about the route of the Tour of Britain? Either way he's getting angry about a news story from Wales then taking a look at why things are kicking off between Margaret Thatcher and the Doom video game series.
Join us for A Wee Natter, the radio show about the not so important issues of the day. This week we kick off by being not really shocked by the drama of trying to get Oasis tickets. The postbag is delivered with your stories about embarrassing moments and screw-ups. You know, the sort of things that keep you up at night.
Later on we find out that first impressions can be strange things, what on earth that pattern is on Marc's t-shirt and a big announcement you weren't expecting.

Breaking from normal tradition, Marc share some celebrity gossip before providing his unusual thoughts on the matter. We then dip into another scandal surrounding Robin Hood. Quite fitting for a radio show produced near Sherwood Forest!

The Super Shonky Sunday Quiz visits the world of video games. While we remenis about games new and old, will be able to find the one that's the answer to our elusive question?

Join us for A Wee Natter, the radio show about the not so important issues of the day. This week we kick off by asking the obvious question on National Bakewell Tart Day.

In celebration of all the superhero movies that seem to be popular nowadays, we ask you what you'd say if we gave you the telepathic power to send a single message to everyone in the world.
This week's edition of Covers vs Originals sees you pick from Cyndi Lauper's version or Roy Orbison's version of I Drove All Night. We then follow up with a confession as to why this show is usually a disorganised mess. That's the complete opposite end of the spectrum to the people Marc rants about that are already preparing for Christmas in August!
Mission Musical Freedom this week sees us exploring story songs and in the Super Shonky Sunday Quiz we test your knowledge of Bond films. Marc then tackles the question of "where do you come from"? Not in any serious fashion but should you answer with where you live now or where you grew up? Marc then confesses publicly to being a Fifer. We follow this up with a story of someone really screwing up at work.
Join us for A Wee Natter, the radio show about the not so important issues of the day. This week we kick off with what turns out to NOT be a solution to the rioting in the streets of Britain.

Once you've worked out the answer, Jenny shares some shenanigans she observed at a pub recently. Marc follows up with a seasonal problem we could do with your help on!
Join us for A Wee Natter, the radio show about the not so important issues of the day. This week we kick off by looking at the things you're glad you didn't buy. Off the back of the news surrounding a water company, we then dig into getting rewarded for failure.
We then take a look at a couple of things where we're still behind the times. Firstly we take a trip to parialment then we cross the pond to see what's going on with rubbish in New York. After having fun with our usual games, we then start wondering what all those politicians will do that recently lost their gig in the General Election.
Join us for A Wee Natter, the radio show about the not so important issues of the day. This week we kick off looking at the foods you've never tried. Turns out none of us are seafood fans! We then go on to explore those things you totally wanted but are glad you never pulled the trigger on purchasing.
We also explore why advertising turns us into crotchety old men, a big surprise at the door, digging a tunnel under the bungalow, a phantom feeling and a brand new way to burn your house down.
Join us for A Wee Natter, the radio show about the not so important issues of the day. This week we kick off by realising about all those normal foods we've never tried. Turns out Marc has never had a Big Mac in his life! The revelations continue as we find out a cat has the skills to request a song on the radio.
In this week's Covers vs Originals we pit Kool and the Gang against Atomic Kitten. Which one will you choose to hear on the wireless. You might be surprised by the result!
After a trip down memory lane, we question some of the things we still do. It's the 2020s and we still obliged to do some very old fashioned things. That awkward jog you do when someone hold the door has to disappear.
Somehow another week goes by and Marc gets a complaint. This time about sports where he gets an education in the difference between goals and points. Off the back of this, Jenny looks at launching her own weight loss programme.
In the very last edition of Elected! we tackle on the biggest issues we've ever taken on by finding a solution to hey fever. Will it make the difference? Only one way to find out!
After you work out the answer to the Super Shonky Sunday Quiz, we learn about some of the culinary delights that you're a big fan of. We also share some kitchen disasters we've had along the way. That then leads on to a conversation about another kind of disaster.

Join us for A Wee Natter, the radio show about the not so important issues of the day. This week we kick off by building the soundtrack to your life. What songs should be playing in both the important and not-so-important moments we encounter every day? You come up with some interesting suggestions.
After getting you to pick the best version of I Will Always Love You in Covers vs Originals, we then explore what's in a name. Turns out they're complicated, hide some low key conspiracies and might get you some free food.
In the meantime things kick off in the online chat about KitKats. That then brings us to the topic of things kicking off in Ollerton. Why do some people just want to destroy good things? That in turn triggers a conversation about what kind of dog you are. We're going full local radio. Never go full local radio. Especially when you've got listeners from Canada dropping in.
In this week's Elected we tackle the issue of people that don't understand e-mail etiquette. If they can't handle modern technology, it's time to teach a lesson with old fashioned punishment. We then move into the world of champagne in the Super Shonky Sunday Quiz. Is it too posh for us?
On a different note, does Google Photos also do that weird thing for you? Who doesn't love a trip down memory lane to that time you took an electricity meter reading.
It also turns out Marc made a few mistakes. Watch as he apologises for screwing up some simple things he really should know better about. That then leads to a Top 10 list of back to the office tricks employers are trying before reaching for the P45.
In the hope of improving morale, we then visit the world of cats on the Internet.

Join us for A Wee Natter, the radio show about the not so important issues of the day. This week we kick off being deeply affected by the Prime Minister not having Sky TV when he was a kid. That then prompts Marc to ask what was your "back in the day" story?
With the european football stuff happening at the moment, Marc plays some cheeky song choices and gets you to pick the best England football song. Which one did you choose?
While the football may have distracted us, Marc finally remembered it was Father's Day. Could he get you out of trouble for forgetting? Only one way to find out!
As much as we don't want to end up on a downer, but the Summer Solstice is almost here. Who do we complain to about the lack of summer so far? Is it time to crack out the rain dance in the hope is doesn't work?
In this week's edition of Elected we take on the not-so-serious topic of bulk orders. There's nothing worse than the person in front of you at the chippie raiding the place of stock. Marc proposes a real solution to this heart-wrenching problem.
The Super Shonky Sunday Quiz returns with a trip into the art world. Do you know your painters and can you figure out who created the Mona Lisa?
Marc also takes a look at the Royal Family and their penchant for having more than one birthday. It's often used as an excuse to give our honours. So who would you give them out to and why? That then leads us on to something a bit unusual going on in Edinburgh.

Join us for A Wee Natter, the radio show about the not so important issues of the day. We start by noting that putting the monarch on the new bank notes is the obvious and boring thing to do. So who or what would you put on the new notes instead? After you choose the music in Covers vs Originals, Jenny shares some of her cultural experience after exploring the US East Coast. Turns out eggs are an alarmingly complicated thing to order in the morning, even if they're going to be nicked by the local wildlife.
As a bit of a change of pace, we then look back towards Blighty and tackle one of the problems that is plaguing the country. This then turns into a pitch for a new TV series.
In this week's edition of Elected, we finally find a solution to those people who insist on sharing their awful taste in music. Will it work? Only one way to find out! The catch is that it could expand into a conversation about what's hot hits in the local nursing home.
Our weekly quiz returns with a visit to the world of pandas. Do you know what a group of them is called? Can you get the answer before we end up discussing a loaf of bread?
We then move onto hotels struggling with theft and expand out into some of the things you've seen stolen in other parts of life.

Join us for A Wee Natter, the radio show about the not so important issues of the day. We start by chatting about those songs that remind you of people and things. The odd bit is that it's never the song you expect!
Covers vs Originals returns with you picking between the Kinks and Kirsty Maccoll. Which version of Days will play at half past seven? And talking of songs, apparently there's a song on the playlist that was on Jenny & Marc's wedding playlist. Can you figure out which one it is?
Off the back of an announcement that Super Spoons is coming to quench the thirst of northerners, we try to come up with a new super hero for Sherwood Forest. Robin Hood has his place but we need a new hero for the 21st century. Jenny then tries to turn into a 21st century hero by tackling the problem of window seats in cafes.
In this week's instalment of Elected we tackle the issue of high street banks disappearing. Are banking hubs the solution or is Marc's idea better? In the Super Shonky Sunday Quiz we then find out if your geography is any good. Turns out it is! The discussion of clean air in Greenland then leads on to a discussions around unwanted gas emissions.
With both Eurovision and the northern lights appearing last night, we take a quick look at both of them. Though admittedly, being radio, actually seeing them will be a challenge!

Join us for A Wee Natter, the radio show about the not so important issues of the day. We start by finding out about the things you're a proper geek for. While we're not Star Wars or Star Trek experts, we find out Jenny is a real fan of Brookside. We then hand the power of the playlist over to you in Covers vs Originals. Which version of Handbags and Gladrags will you vote for?
With the music sorted, we then go on to deliver a public service in reminding you it's a bank holiday tomorrow and you might not want to turn up to work. Suitably chilled by this news, Jenny share the story of something she overheard on the bus to work.
In this week's edition of Elected we tackle the problems of Eurovision. Do we have a way for Britain to win every time or a direct path to "null points"? Either way, your suggestions take it to the next level before exercising your grey matter in the Super Shonky Sunday Quiz.
As a bit of a palette cleanser after that tough quiz, we then inspect the progress on the hunt for the Loch Ness Monster. Turns out there's more to the mystery than we ever thought possible! The mysteries continue when Jenny tells us about another conversation she heard on the bus.

Join us for A Wee Natter, the radio show about the not so important issues of the day. We start by touching on the things you love to do but are just a bit rubbish at. After reminiscing about The Generation Game, we ask you what cuddly toy you still sleep with. Go on, be honest with us!
Whatever your answer, it turns out you're experts in all sorts of weird and wonderful stuff. That prompts us to put you in charge of the music in Covers vs Originals.
As part of pretending to sound like serious news journalists, we chat with a couple of the East Midlands Mayor candidates. Turns out we don't do a very good impression of properly trained journalists so we go back to chatting with you about Kids TV shows.
Jenny then shares a story about flat pack furniture and the difficulty in putting it together. Turns out experts exist to help you with these things!
We further test your expertise with the Super Shonky Sunday Quiz. Can you tell us what the smallest planet in the solar system is? Either way, we demonstrate our lack of expertise discussing the Mansfield Town Football Club's open top bus tour.

Join us for A Wee Natter, the radio show about the not so important issues of the day. We kick off this episode with preparations for St George's Day. Does England have a national anthem? We then go from the nightmares of a country to the nightmares of our listeners.
The conversation then opens up with you to find out about the things you love doing but are not so good at. We crack on making this radio show and asking you to pick between our covers and originals. Turns out DIY capers are a common theme.
The conversation then goes off the rails when we explore the problems with time travel. Surprisingly it's not the tropes you already know about that we touch on. We then move onto a celebration of National Tea Day.
Elected returns with some new rules for BREAKING NEWS alerts on your phone. Our Sunday Quiz also returns with a visit to the world of Top Cat. This then expands into a discussions about the world of Internet famous cats.
We then go on to look at how everything is 5 out of 5 stars nowadays which in turn generates a complaint. Will we survive? Only one way to find out!
Things come to an end with Jenny's experience encountering cows.

Join us for A Wee Natter, the radio show about the not so important issues of the day. We kick off with a discussion about the things that blow your mind. How did they work out that the moon controls the tides? The conversation then moves on to your weird and wonderful confessions.
Despite Marc presenting the show solo, the usual stuff continues with you deciding which version of Tainted Love plays in Covers vs Originals. We then look at a confession Amazon made about their fancy AI powered supermarkets. This might trigger a rant about AI from Marc.
Elected returns with your suggestion for a law that requires all tins to have ring-pulls on them. We then have a go at the quiz. Did you get the answer right?
We then explore the world of marriage and how messy name changes are. Oh, and we send an invite to the main East Midlands mayoral candidates onto the show. Will they take it up? Find out in a future episode!

Join us for A Wee Natter, the chatshow/talkshow/podcast about the not so important issues of the day. We kick off by mentioning the celebration of St Gertrude, the patron saint of cats. Oh, and some other smaller thing called St Patrick's Day.
We then move not so swiftly on to conspiracy theories. But not the big ones. We want to know about the daft wee ones you believe in! And talking of conspiracies, Jenny out of the blue let us know that she really wants to try out Irish dancing.
We then nip into the kitchen to make a tea only to be overwhelmed by bags for life. That then prompts us to look into another conspiracy. Are bags really for life?
As Casualty passes a new milestone, we explore the highs and lows of watching medical TV shows. That then leads us onto a trip on the busses and down memory lane. We then go even further back to the start of Facebook which is 20 years ago now!
After our usual quiz and Elected! segments, we then look at a titanically bad idea that someone keeps having. That's before Jenny implores us to look at what's in a name.

Join us for A Wee Natter, the chatshow/talkshow/podcast about the not so important issues of the day. It's Mother's Day this week as we help you to cover for the fact you totally forgot about it! Talking of forgetfulness, we then moved onto the addictions we both admit and don't admit to.
Marc then makes a massive screw-up and starts a trend that continues throughout the show. In an attempt to cover up, we then have a patriotic moment. Things turn for the worse again when we chat about all the ways we used to get in trouble as kids. Compared to one kid we heard about this week, we were all rather tame!
With the live show landing on the same night as the Oscars, we make up our own movie awards that film makers probably don't want on their mantlepieces.
Even with the night being a special one, we still continue to build the people's manifesto in Elected and ask a somewhat untimely question in the out of date quiz. We then go on to discover a mystery safe in the bungalow. Can you guess the combination to open it?

Join us for A Wee Natter, the chatshow/talkshow/podcast about the not so important issues of the day. In this week's episode we kick things off with a quick look at the Brit Awards and how these sort of things tend to make you wish you had the skills.
Talking of good intentions, we then explore those things we bought years ago, used once or twice, then end up sitting in a cupboard. Jenny then remembers something from her childhood that popped up on the Internet.
With the leap day this week, we look at some of the traditions surrounding it and even suggest some new ones of our own.
Elected and the infamous quiz return as always. Though this time, we come up with a test for proving whether a relationship is strong enough to survive a marriage. Can we hear wedding bells or will it be a divorce settlement for this one?
We then look into doing good things for charity while someone else takes the credit. And in an attempt to make things more upbeat, Jenny swiftly moves us on to Gavin and Stacey.

Join us for A Wee Natter, the chatshow/talkshow/podcast about the not so important issues of the day. In this week's episode we kick things off with a look at what you'd do if you won a serious amount of money. Turns out you're all quite generous!
We then explore how two words that on their own cause no trouble but bring them together and they strike fear in everyone's lives. Talking of fear, we then take a step into the world of international politics. Who'd have thought fish and chips was such as controversial topic.
Noticing that we aren't exactly experts in the topic, we then moved on quickly into some of the more mind-bending elements of bingo. No, really, that game you play with a dobber. And on the topic of games, we then have a discussion on video games and playing them in odd places.
Perennial favourites Elected and the Ancient Quiz return. We also explore one of the paradoxes of the vinyl revival. Oh, and why does a bottle of washing up liquid last so long?

Join us for A Wee Natter, the chatshow/talkshow/podcast about the not so important issues of the day. In this week's episode we kick things off with a look at the gifts you gave or received that were not appreciated. In the hopes of making ourselves a bit happier, we find out what you'd do if you won an insane amount of money,
With Valentines making an appearance this week, we explore what a budget romantic night could look like... and the ways it could go wrong! Powered by love, we take a trip back in history to check out the first Japanese astronaut. The time travel continues with a look back to the Sarajevo Winter Olympics. Somehow it's 40 years ago this week!
Elected returns with a visit to the shops and a plan to solve the problem of sweet treats becoming smaller. Whoever came up with "fun size" probably hasn't had fun in a long time. Talking of returns, the outdated 100 question quiz returns with us puzzling over where loofahs come from. It's probably not where you're thinking of.
We then take a trip to an old BHS store where snails are taking over. Is it all part of a sinister plot? It all gets more complicated when we find out something mind blowing about the Amazon river.

Join us for A Wee Natter, the chatshow/talkshow/podcast about the not so important issues of the day. In this week's episode we kick things off by finding out all the uncool things we're surprisingly good at. Talking of unappreciated, we then ask you about the gifts you gave or received that didn't go down well.
Marc then shares his dilemma about lollipop people. As a fully grown adult, would you wait for them before crossing the road? And talking about walking, we take a look at solving the smell and lack of coffee shop problem at the top of Everest.
With pancake day just around the corner, we find out everyone's favourite toppings. It wasn't the original plan but some of you have some right weird tastes.
In this week's edition of Elected! (our mission to build the people's manifesto for unimportant issues), we come up with a novel way to resolve the Rufford Ford problem. Though we also suspect it won't be taken up by the council in their consultation!
Our 100 question returns with a step into history. Did you manage to figure out the right answer? We follow up by continuing our exploration into the world of flight with a visit to the bathroom scales.

Join us for A Wee Natter, the chatshow/talkshow/podcast about the not so important issues of the day. In this week's episode we kick things off by feeling no sympathy for the water bosses having a secret meeting to complain that we're being mean for not wanting higher bills. To console ourselves, we check out your suggestions for wrestler-style walk in music.
On a mission to get even happier, we enter the world of video games. Turns out there's an alarming number of games involving cats in the world! Though a trip to the cinema afterwards doesn't quite go as planned.
Remember the family photo album? We leave it hidden in the cupboard and try to pretend there's no embarrassing photos in there. Though with Polaroids making a comeback, that may change.
We also explore the reasons your boss makes daft decisions. Including one backed by proper boffins with research!
You know that moment you spot someone you really don't want to chat to? Jenny provides the ultimate solution to the problem. Though as we then learn, you don't always sneak away successfully and sometimes leave a trail to follow. As part of keeping up with the cutting edge, we use AI to explore where we should live.
In this week's edition of Elected! we take on the semi-serious issue of pub closures. After much deliberation, we come up with a manifesto pledge to resolve one of the least important problems.
Without dropping into the obvious Monty Python jokes we explore something the Romans did actually do for us. The catch is it wasn't something we really wanted. That's before we move onto the topic of whether kids should be allowed in pubs or not.

Join us for A Wee Natter, the comedy talkshow that covers the not-so-important issues of the day. We kick off this episode getting offended by American researchers with an alternative view on what should be added to tea. That then leads into us tackling a listener complaint in our usual not-so-serious style.
We then move into the world of wrestling that may be making a comeback but inspires us to pick walk-in music for our mundane lives. After emptying the postbag, we enter the world of underwear and the slip-ups you don't expect! With the embarrassment over, we nip down the bakery to find the person in front of us taking the last sausage roll. It just isn't our day.
In the hope of brightening our day, we look towards chocolate to be our saviour. Alas, it doesn't quite deliver as we'd hoped.
On a more positive note, our mission to build the Peoples' Manifesto, tackling the unimportant issues that wind you up, continues. This week we take on nuisance callers to 999 and come up with an unorthodox solution to the problem.
Ever done that thing where you put something down and completely forget where it was? We investigate the time it happened at a government scale.
Our 100 question quiz continues. Can you figure out the answer before we reveal it?
And talking of misleading, we explore the difference between phishing scams and fishing scams. Turns out the latter has a much more potent pong!

Join us for A Wee Natter, the comedy talkshow that covers the not-so-important issues of the day. We kick off this Scottish special by exploring what life was like north and south of the border in times gone by. This then leads to our presenters trying their hand at a "shout out".
We also delve into those embarrassing incidents that keep going through our head just before we drift off to sleep. They'll keep haunting you so we ask you to share them with us! The embarrassment continues as we chat about the Bay City Rollers.
The confessions keep flowing as Marc admits to a mistake then tackles the madness that is rail travel in the UK. A few of you also share your top songs in Spotify for 2023. Turns out we're not quite the cool cats we used to be.
Cats aren't the only critter we encounter on our travels but naming your furry friend is a difficult task. How do you choose a name that doesn't sound daft when you have to shout them back?
Elected - our mission to build the peoples' manifesto ahead of the 2024 general election continues with an exploration of camping. Can we devise a policy to make sleeping under the stars a little less miserable?
The out of date quiz returns. Can you figure out the answer before we reveal it?
And talking of questions, we check out if the claims made by AI's proponents matches reality. Our experience with chat bots suggests otherwise.

Join us for A Wee Natter, the comedy talkshow that covers the not-so-important issues of the day. We touch on a New Years' food challenge that'll pile on the pound before you've even got a whiff of the gym.
Talking of things we would rather forget, we move on to things no-one else remembers but you. Fine people just like you got in touch and let us know about those mystery memories.
After that we break out the time machine and go back 30 years to celebrate the formation of one of the most iconic bands of the 90s. Then we suggest better options for commemorative stamps!
We also try our hand at proper local radio. Find out how well... or not it goes!
In case you've not noticed, it's an election year. Join us in building the peoples' manifesto, dealing with the niggles and frustrations in life. You tell use the issue, we come up with a policy to tackle it!
You also get in touch which triggers some very controversial biscuit comments from Jenny.
Our mighty 100 question quiz we wrote over a decade ago and might have slightly out of date answers returns. Can you get the answer before our caller?
This all prompts Marc to consider walking home. No... his original hometown 260 miles away in Dunfermline. Will he succeed, only one way to find out!

Join us for A Wee Natter in the #comedy #talkshow that covers the not-so-important issues of the day. This week we touch on gifts from the petrol station when you leave Christmas shopping just a little too late. Who else has had something lovingly gifted in tinfoil?
Fashion isn't something we can claim to ever have been on top of but we look at the trends that tend to increase your blood pressure. And that's before we hail the return of a certain haircut.
Cold weather brings out the gritters but someone in the highways depot has been having a bit too much fun. Can you blame them when they spend so much of their time on ice? While that's going on we heat things up with serious debate about how you say the word scone. Is it "scone" or "scone"?
The food debate continues as we explore exactly where you're allowed to use ketchup. Along the way we stumble onto a conspiracy that needs to become public! After that our hunt for the best yule log to bestow upon your Christmas table for 2023 comes to an end with a (not so) shocking last minute winner.
Our 100 question quiz continues with a historical look at the marriages of Henry VIII. Will you be caught out by the difference between a marriage and a wedding?
We also take on one of the most boring yet greatest stories ever and plan for A Wee Natter version of The Nativity. Will it be a success? It'll certainly be different. And talking of different, Jenny touches on a trend that's making Christmas Eve a little more special.

Join us for A Wee Natter in the #comedy #talkshow that covers the not-so-important issues of the day. This week we touch on the fact this year's coming to an end and it's time for those "blank" of the year awards. So... erm... what's your word of the year?
We take a moment to pay tribute to one of the most famous cats on the internet, who sadly passed away recently. We also take a trip to the market that turns into an unexpected trip of a different kind!
The hunt for the best yule log to grace your Christmas dinner table really heats up with entries from two of the major supermarkets. In an upset we've got a new first place but who is it?
We continue the upset with the discovery of an ancient quiz from the 2010s. Can you still answer the questions from it? Find out over the next few episodes.
The festive fun continues with an exploration of the man in the big red suit and the ways he's just a bit creepy. Even more so when he turns into Secret Santa. Though he's not the only one out there delivering presents with a bit of a bang!

Join us for A Wee Natter in the #comedy #talkshow that covers the not-so-important issues of the day. This week we touch on those songs that trigger memories of random people or moments in your life. We even have a sniff and some old memories as well!
We also step into the world of politics and international relations by making a suggestion on where to send the Elgin Marbles in a deal that would make no-one happy! We also make local radio DJs and pub bores upset by recommending a certain book gets banned.
With 2024 just around the corner, it's your opportunity to find out what the status symbols will be next year and the status symbols of the 1900s. It's also amazing how things change over the years. It's also amazing just what candles you can get!
One thing that's been missing in this country for a while is Great #British pride! We combine the power of Kerbal Space Program and British engineering to re-ignite our space adventures.
The "serious consumer advice" continues as things heat up in the hunt for the best chocolate yule log to put on your table for Christmas day. Find out which big name didn't quite make it to the top of the list!
Films and TV shows make an appearance with those lines we still quote decades later. Though one song almost got Marc fired a long time ago. Can you guess which festive favourite it is? The topic of dreams also comes up but with a dark twist. Turns out someone's developing a way to allow you to work in your dreams. Will you join us in uprising against this?
The bad news is that you might already have a spy in your household. Elf on a Shelf has gone too far and we suggest how to tackle the madness.

Join us for A Wee Natter in the #talkshow that covers the not-so-important issues of the day. This week we touch on that thing you both love and hate at the same time. Whether it's the gym or that American TV series that's just too much to commit to. We also chat about celebrity a well known singer dropping by Mansfield to turn on the Christmas lights. Though not all famous faces are quite so recognisable!
Remember back to your days in school. Did you ever change the lyrics on songs and what did you change them to? Often it resulted in a much ruder and much funnier rendition of the classics. Oh, and it turns out Marc used to play an instrument in the school orchestra but what was it?
After that, Jenny illuminates us on what the BIG light is all about and why you don't use it. Even if you probably ought to! Though compared to the free lazer eye surgery you get from modern car headlights it's nothing.
It's not all fun and games though as we continue to give out serious consumer advice in the hunt for the perfect chocolate yule log for your Christmas dinner table. This week brins a surprise as special isn't quite special enough. And on the topic of surprises, there are some things in life that need a soundtrack.
Things may be kicking off in Australia with I'm A Celebrity but there are some unexpected visitors in the UK that we think are more interesting. Though why they're in Scunthorpe is yet to be determined. All before Jenny admits we're talking rubbish.
