Summary

It's the first Planet Porky of 2022 as Lesley-Ann Jones joins Mike Parry in the hot seat once again for their unique look at some of the week's big stories.

Topics include: keeping hold of your old phone, modern device complications, drinking in converted churches, Henry VIII controversy, Bill Wyman's collections, challenges for fans wanting to pay their respects, David Bowie's catalogue being sold, Paul McCartney's grounding, merchandise not signed by the relevant celebrity, Lady Colin Campbell, the death of Janice Long, Amanda Holden's daughter taking up modelling and loads more. It's the podcast that can never be accused of phoning it in, it's Life on Planet Porky.
