Summary

Jekyll and Hyde isn’t a work of fiction. Nor is James McAvoy in hit film Split. No. If you were to venture down the B and C roads of mainland Wales the past few weeks you’ll have seen something far more surprising: Welsh Elis and English Elis.

For there’s an astonishing revelation of the West Walian comic once thought of as polite and mild-mannered. James’ alternative persona is coming to a Welsh theatre near you and be prepared for an attitude that will shock. As well as the mental there's also time for analysis of the physical side of the game, as the boys dig into the sudden born to bench trend of the UK funny man.

There’s also a national infrastructure halting Shame, and there’s an inspirational Made Up Game sure to generate merch revenues that could pay for Tim Davie’s Calippo bill for at least the next financial quarter. All this despite an initial lack of confidence in the gameplay. Because it wouldn’t be Elis and John if they didn’t trash a game before passing it with flying colours. Trust. The. Process.

If you aren’t already listening to the show on the universe leading BBC Sounds app then you better swear on Adrian’s life that you’ll sort that very this instant.

0:54.0	Since now... Hello, And as someone has been doing stand-up gigs and Wales this week, here is some of the great
1:13.7	conversations I've had. Oh, that looks like a clean farm.
1:18.0	Sand-a-bover is always bigger than I remember, and could you ask the audience to fill from the front.
1:23.0	This is the kind of great chap that made me pine for the days of live radio
1:27.0	when two cut-and-thrust presenters, to myself and John,
1:30.0	could pose any topic we liked at the listeners,
1:32.0	with our carefully created audience built up over years of sensitive, thoughtful broadcasting,
1:37.1	be assured that within 40% of the responses we received would be extremely negative.
1:42.1	Our abilities to ask the questions that were vexing the nation. received would be extremely negative.
1:42.8	Our abilities to ask the questions that were vexing the nation
