Summary

Mike Parry and Lesley-Ann Jones are here again direct from Planet Porky to inform and entertain. Today they get stuck into: Jose Mourinho, Gary Player's bacon fixation, whether Terence Conran inspired a famous Beatles song, the extreme popularity of an ELO classic, women following Porky around, the bizarre case of Cathy Smith and the National Enquirer, Dave Stewart, the new social gathering restrictions, holding a house party for 50, miserable meals, Tina Turner, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Julia Sawalha, a Question of Sport without Sue Barker, ageism in the media, Welsh voices, and whether you should bother getting friendly with your neighbours. Shut out the strange noises coming from next door, immerse yourself in Life on Planet Porky...

0:00.0	Okay, folks, you are listening to the latest episode, the latest chapter, the latest
0:27.7	blockbuster from Planet Porky, myself, the portmister, and of course, Rock, Chick
0:33.8	Extraordinaire, Leslie, I'm going to have a dreadful day. We're moving into a
0:41.0	mini heat wave. Can you believe it in September? So as soon as we finish this recording, I'm out of
0:46.3	my home studio and into the fridge. Well, I've told you, haven't I, that little trick about putting your
0:51.1	head in the freezer whenever you feel like the heat is overcoming
0:54.4	you. Yeah. Just run to the freezer and stick your head in. It really works. Does cool your whole
0:58.9	body down. Yeah, well, you know, I don't know how to stick my head in the freezer, but I need to
1:03.0	invent a cold cap or something like that just to keep me going. But certainly, I won't be venturing

1:41.7	connection because of my uncle Cliff Jones, who was,
1:45.4	you know, such a star in the 60s. He's still an ambassador at the club, by the way, and he still
1:50.8	turns out, you know, he's well into his 80s now. He's still trains and they still feature
1:55.4	his training videos on their website as well. I think it was, you know, I didn't see the game, but I've read everything this morning.
2:03.8	I think that, you know, look, it's only the first game of the season, isn't it?
2:07.9	But it is looking dodgy for the special one.
