Summary

It's time for more madness and mayhem courtesy of Mike Parry and Lesley-Ann Jones as they once again beam back to Earth from atop Planet Porky. Today they discuss: the legal requirement to wear face masks, social-distancing in establishments, returning to normality, Princess Anne, David Hasselhoff, doctoring your own phone bills, life with a mistress, the superior resilience of the female race, Newcastle, the life of an underappreciated former Beatles photographer, Annie Nightingale, Howard Donald and the David Bowie mystery, Brooklyn's overly lavish wedding (and what it's really all about), Will Smith's marriage, Richard Branson turning 70 and a new study about drinking at home alone. That should fill you up!
