Summary

It's another blockbusting edition of Life on Planet Porky with Mike Parry and Lesley-Ann Jones.

Today they discuss: the snow and ice, skiing holidays, ABBA's hologram show, The Beatles teaming up with Frank Ifield, LAJ's night at the jazz, why the north is friendlier than the south, how there's a story in everything if you look hard enough, Canterbury cathedral, young people apparently not wanting to work, insomnia, whether alcoholism is in your genes, Harry and Meghan's new documentary, The Stranglers, and tributes to the last Dambuster. It's the podcast that flies above them all, it's Life on Planet Porky.
