This is LBC from Global, leading Britain's conversation, Mystery Hour with James O'Brien.

Four minutes after 12 is the time. Goodness me, it's always a blessed relief to reach this part of the week, isn't it?

But some weeks even more, I think we can all agree than others. So here it is your weekly opportunity to achieve the sort of satisfaction,

not ordinarily available, anywhere else on your radio dial.

It's very good fun as well.

I can pretty much guarantee you a giggle.

I used to guarantee a laugh out loud moment,

but of course you can't prove to me that you haven't laughed out loud,

and I got tired of handing back refunds to people who I'm sure were lying about not having laughed out loud but were insisting that they had only laughed inwardly or perhaps giggled but not lulled as the kids say. By kids I think I mean anyone over 30 really don't I these days.

How does it work? You ring in with a question. Someone else rings in with an answer. That's pretty much it.

But you're not allowed to look up the answers. We rely upon accrued knowledge. It's a celebration

of education, of knowledge, of retention of knowledge, which is kind of unfashionable when you think

about it. Because we have the world at our fingertips, you can find out stuff that you would once

have had to visit a library and consult several books before finding now by simply throwing

a few words into a search engine. And it's such a diverting hour that it has spawned its own board

game. The mystery hour board game we called it. We had a lot of meetings about that. What are we going to call it? I don't know. What should we call it, lad? And then one genius came at the Mystery Hour board game. James O'Brien's Mystery Hour board game. I resisted that for reasons of modesty. But they insisted, the manufacturers at Big Sky Games insisted that not only is it called James O'Brien's mystery out ballgame, but also they made me put a photograph of myself on the box. So if you're passing through, it's Keith said in my ears, a very old photograph. This is a very old photograph. I cannot tell a lie. But, you know, they didn't want to pay for another photo shoot or something like that.

There's a recession on the horizon.

So you can find out more about the Mystery Hour board game.

At mystery, is it mysteryad.co.uk.

And you can win one by being the best contributor to this

hour of radio.

You can also buy it in John Lewis and some other shops as well.
