Summary

Mike Parry and Lesley-Ann Jones are back for another dip into the pool of opinion that is Planet Porky the podcast.

On today's episode they discuss: the real reason we celebrate Easter, Jennifer Arcuri's media presence, Warren Beatty's alley-cat reputation, having sex after 60, Harry and Meghan's wedding claim being dismissed, whether Piers Morgan will return to Good Morning Britain, why Porky was pictured wearing red, how drinking is good for your eyesight, tales of Easter drinking on Fleet Street, the latest page 3 trend, the Eiffel Tower, a shocking car related story, using a coat as a parachute, the Flight Attendant, whether making money from betting is immoral, Eric Clapton, John Lennon's lost album, Tim Rice, the tragedy behind Vincent Van Gogh's life, and Chesney Hawkes. It's the one and only podcast that matters - it's Life on Planet Porky!
