This podcast is sponsored by Pet Plan who are the UK's number one pet insurer.

I've always used Pet Plan for Raymond as they cover things other insurers don't

and they can even pay your vet directly, which can be a big help. No Raymond that doesn't mean you can

spend all the extra cash on treats. Terms, conditions and excesses apply

pet plan is a trading name of Allian's Insurance PLC.

It strikes me if you look at our Wikipedia page,

we are a downwardly mobile family.

Because it starts off with some dukes in there somewhere and then and now I'm a comedian.

This week on Walking the Dog I went out for a stroll with the fabulous Al Murray.

He's a comic, a history buff and a descendant of William Make Piece Zachary,

and he's also the most famous pub landlord in the country.

Al grew up with Labrador's, so I got him to try out the joys of the smaller dog with my tiny

shih Tzu Raymond. I had such a lovely time with Al. He's quite a thoughtful and gentle

guy when he's after that maroon blazer. We wandered around the grounds of Chizik House. and

I wondered around the grounds of Chizik House. And Al told me about boarding school and how he thinks it affected him in later life,

why he likes playing a character as a comic and also why he's absolutely terrified of confrontation.

You can catch Al's 2019 UK tour, which is called Landlord of Hope and Glory. From May onwards

tickets are available by the way at the pub Landlord.com and also how's a drummer in

a band. I know there's no end to his talent. It's called Fat Copts and they're brilliant so have a

listen you can check them out on their website which is Fat Copts.coe.

UK if you want to order a copy. Enough of planes.

Come on, Ray.
