Summary

The boys are back in town; and by town we mean Broadcasting House, as this week the guys returned to their spiritual home after a short sabbatical at Maida Vale. Despite having to get up extra early for the show (Elis at 6am, Producer Dave at 5am and John at 8am) they were full of beans that were ready to be cooked and put onto #content toast. Elis crumbles during a Made Up Game, there’s an acapella jingle due to some technical difficulties and John gives us an insight into some of the more bizarre dreams that have been keeping him awake at night.

1:03.7	The sheer number of people who mentioned Matt from the PCD groups and from various activities
1:10.6	surrounding this show was just really incredible, even in the face of such terrible circumstances
1:16.3	to see everyone coming together.
1:18.0	And it was really, really have to say it was very moving to see a lot of the message that
