Summary

Today's show is three quarters Isle of Wight, as we welcome Matt Hitt and Laura Reid, aka The Ventnor Darlings, who also happen to be BFFs with our very own Hannah George!

As is always the way when you introduce a bestie to a new group, you make them tell the story that always has you in stitches, so Hannah gets Matt to do just that, and you won't be disappointed, it involves a lightning strike AND TV legend Carol Vorderman ... I KNOW!

We then hear about the time our guests were all at sea with the local council and how being named and shamed backfired big time for the authorities, before the crew delve into a case very fitting for the current 'spooky season'.

Finally, this week's listener crime is enough to put Taylor and Laura off their grub!

See Taylor and Hannah LIVE in Autumn / Winter '25...

Thurs 16th October: Museum of Comedy London

Sat 15th November: Watford Palace Theatre

Mon 15th December: Komedia, Brighton
