Summary

Leigh Francis joins Captain Carr for an Alan Air flight packed with wild stories, nostalgic throwbacks and plenty of unexpected turns. Leigh chats about his podcast Unlikely Friends with his wife Jill, Emma Bunton, and her husband Jade Jones, how they met, what gets cut out, and why Jill's a better human than he is. Alan reminds Leigh of the time he didn't know who Adele was at a party, owning Michael Hutchence's clothes, and his love of Florida and Disney. Plus: retro gaming, crocodiles in the wild, and bum lips.
