This is Frank Skinner. This is Absolute Radio.

Good morning.

This is the Frank Skinner Show on Absolute Radio.

I have a bit of a, I'm gonna go Frank Plus task this morning

because the producer loved that so much she reacted.

I have to tell you that his excellency

are supreme beloved leader, Commander, I know that's someone else.

Mr Frank, let's call him, that's what Basil Brosh calls him.

He can't be with us this morning. I'm devastated.

I know you will be, but you know, we miss him

and we will do our very best to keep you entertained without him.

And you know, when they're gone, we smile and they return.

Bit of 19th century poet Emily Dickinson for you

on Absolute Radio this morning. I'm not alone, not in the studio anyway.

I'm joined this morning as usual by a Manchester Correspondent,

Mr Alan Cockrole. Cockrole.

In the midst of the Cockrole.

See you tomorrow.

Oh, why did he add that bit of the end, Frank, to that jingle?

It's so disrespectful. I like that.

Morning, Cockrole.

Morning.
