Hey everyone, welcome to this week's episode of Fish.

Dan and Andy here. Hello. And we just want to quickly let you know before we launch into this week's episode about this week's guest. Yes, it's our friend and yours. Kerry Ad Lloyd. Yeah, she's brilliant. She's been on loads of times before. She's always fantastic. Her fact this week is a really good one. And it's a brilliantly entertaining show. I've just listened to it and I've written it up for our archive.

Have you?

So you're in for a treat. I can tell you that much. Oh, well, there we go. Yeah. And also you should know that Carriad is not only a comedian, not only a podcaster, she's also an author. That's right. Her new book is called Lydia Marmalade and the Christmas Wish.

So it's the children's book. It's really funny. It's charming. It's got a little Jane Austenie

flavor to it. A little regency tinge. That's a terrible phrase. But it's really funny. It's

charming. It's about a girl called Lydia Marmalade, obviously. There's an amusing sausage dog. It's basically everything you could want for a kind of fun, classic Christmassy romp. Lydia Marmalade and the Christmas Wish. Perfect Christmas book. It's out now. And if you love books generally and you like being part of book clubs, Sarah Pascoe and Carriette Lloyd have a podcast. It's brilliant. It's called Sarah and Carriette's Weirdo's Book Club. Weirdos, good name for a podcast. Yeah, show us up in news before. And there's plenty of episodes. One of your favorite authors, Mick Herron, Andy, was a guest recently talking about his slow horses series. It's great. Check it out, but get Carriot's book.

hello and welcome to another episode of No Such Thing as a Fish, a weekly podcast coming to you from the QI offices in Hoburn.

My name is Dan Shriver. I am sitting here with James Harkin, Andrew Hunter Murray, and Carriead Lloyd.

And once again, we have gathered around the

microphones with our four favorite facts from the last seven days. And in no particular order,

here we go. Starting with fact number one, and that is Carriad. My fact is that Joseph Bazalgett,

the famous engineer who had designed London sewers, who was inspired by the Great Stink.

His great-great-grandson was the lead guitarist of the band, The Vapers.

Oh!

Who were most famous for their single, Turning Japanese?

Yes.
