I'm Richard Porter. I'm Johnny Smith. And this is on the other side of things, the Smith and Sniff

spin-off in which we answer your questions. Well, here we are again, with some questions to be

Kev concludes by saying Quentin didn't bother with the tale of the Leyland Princess, which has all the ingredients for a typical BL story of failure snatched from the

jaws of what should have been victory. Kind regards, Kev. Well, I probably said this when

dear Quentin passed away and we had a chat about it on the main podcast. I, that's what,
