Summary

“This question will have enormous ramifications for my mental health for the rest of my life.” It’s that sort of episode. Today is MASSIVE for Robins, as Producer Dave surprises him with a humdinger of a special guest. It's John's time to enjoy the fruits of 14 months worth of Made Up Games labour.

But it’s not all about fruit - which, yes, could be deployed as a starter. It’s also an episode about mimicry and a tale regaled by Elis which will make your head sink deeper into your hands with each development.

1:16.6	and that Tim Davy should have checked the bin but Dot and Adabio told her to leave it.
1:20.6	The lesson was about to begin.
1:22.6	Tim sat cross-legged on the front of the desk before jumping down to sit on a chair the wrong way round like Christine Keeler or A.C. Slater from Saved by the Bell or Scott from neighbours depending on your age.

1:41.3	Doing a big noisy slurp wasn't an ideal solution to not having a bell,
1:45.3	but it worked for Tim. He looked at all the presenters who by now were fidgeting in their chairs.
1:50.7	The ones with shows beginning in less than eight hours were desperate to begin the twin
1:53.8	factor authentication process that would allow them to check their BBC emails. Tim began by
1:58.9	asking a general question. What does having a programme on Five Live mean to you?
2:04.3	His words hung in the air. Rick Edwards put his hand up like a shot. I use it as an opportunity to
