Summary

In what was a very wet and windy day in London today two broadcasters arrived at Broadcasting House soaked in not just rain; but badinage too. Yes, the guys returned to present live radio to the nation once more, and there was a sense of spookiness in the air (much to Elis’s annoyance). They looked ahead to Halloween by speaking to a pumpkin farmer, there's a Made Up Game featuring some familiar voices and we have an update on the #SaveJohn campaign. Plus, Producer Dave gives us a recap of his recent pub crawl… Music to John’s ears? Not quite!

0:40.4	Drummer this one, he was on BBC London,
0:42.0	and he turned it into a two hour diatribe against BBC XX.
0:45.4	This is why a lot of people aren't ever left to do a last show.
0:48.8	Well, they never do that on commercial radio today.
0:50.7	No, we were given special dispensation because everyone trusts us so much.
0:54.8	Yeah, it's remarkable actually.
0:56.5	That's almost unique because they're terrified you're going to say,
