Summary

Mike Parry and Lesley-Ann Jones are in argumentative mood on the latest Planet Porky as they seemingly can't agree on anything. Topics to bicker about include: Johnny Depp and Amber Heard's estranged relationship, the success of The Osmonds, Kate Garraway's distress, a new form of stimulation for the ears, which languages you should bother to learn, Miss - or should that be Dr - England, cancel culture, Ennio Morricone's musical life, Pete (second) Best (and whether you should be bitter about lost opportunities), the e-Scooter, queuing for shoes, Gillian Taylforth, Boeing halting production of the Jumbo Jet and the future of air travel post coronavirus. Flying abroad may be on hold for a while, but the rocket ship to Planet Porky is about to take off so it's time to get on board!
