Summary

On Friday 9th September John Robins was due to go away, which meant he, Elis and Producer Dave spent the evening of Monday 5th September pre-recording a show so that you the listener didn't miss out on any content. However, after the sad news that Queen Elizabeth II had passed away on Thursday 8th the BBC decided that having Elis and John on air less than 24 hours later might have been a bit too jovial given the circumstances. We didn't want this show to go the same way as the oft spoken of "Pub Quiz" bonus episode, so we've decided that the time is probably right to release what we recorded. And as a special treat you’ll hear a chat with comedian Glenn Moore, who gives an insight into what it was like working with Elis and John at the beginning of their radio journey.

0:35.8	This is an oddity.
0:38.0	It's unannomely.
0:39.9	What happened was, is that we pre-recorded a show that was due to go out
0:49.1	on the 9th of September, because I was going to be away on the Friday,
0:57.1	and then at the very sad news of the passing of Queen Elizabeth II,
1:04.0	which meant, as I'm sure you'll understand, there was no way that this could go out live.
1:10.6	It would have been insane, not just because Ellis and I had no knowledge of,
1:17.8	you know, probably the biggest news in the last 100 years of this country,
1:22.5	but also the tone would have been unacceptably jovial,
1:27.2	and I'm sure you're aware over the past couple of weeks.
1:31.9	There's really been a zero-Jovio rule across most broadcasters,
1:37.2	but especially the BBC, and I completely understand that.
1:41.6	However, we feel now that the zero-Jovio tonio rule has been relaxed
1:47.6	to the extent that we can put this out as a podcast,
