Morning everybody, welcome to your free podcast.

Well, I know it's free, I'm just hoping that you're hearing it.

Welcome to Monday.

Ah, you didn't catch me out there, it's Tuesday, because we had the bank holiday Monday,

which means actually, effectively, it's a short week for all of you.

Just imagine how many of these podcasts you're going to be catching up with.

I mean, you're going to be so happy, so, so, happy. As happy as Declan Donnelly, who tiddled off to Florida without Ant for Saturday Night Takeaway.

They're going over there to rehearse it and then to sort of do some of it. And they say, going over there without ant. Of course he's going over there. What do you think? Ant's going to tag along or something. No, absolutely not. But he gave a speech and it was lovely. Everybody was very happy with him. But that's what he does for a living. I mean, you know, the only problem is he has to do it solo. You've got to fly solo.

But, of course, once you've done it, you can do it.

You just get used to sort of filling with, you know, it's a double-headed program.

It becomes a single-headed program.

It's not difficult to do, but they do it.

And he looked all right with it.

They had a nice load of people on the show.

They all help out. Shows how many people are involved. Unfortunately, of course, the Generation Game got absolutely slated, apart from somebody

on, um, who is it, Daily Star who raved over it. I thought it was a pile of old rubbish. Two very,

very unfunny people, games that were done 30, 40 years ago and people who just stood there.

What on earth was Lorraine Kelly doing on it? I mean, they made two, they're supposed to be doing four,

but they've only made two, or they're transmitting two. And to be honest with you, had a laughter track put on.

It just didn't work. Two unfunny people and somebody said,

the BBC are having difficulty finding something for them both to do. What, they under contract then?
