Welcome to my travel podcast, Lights a Beach. Every week I invite a special guest to take us on a journey together to their favourite holiday destinations and to reveal their top travel tips and tales.

My guest tonight is one of the UK's finest comedians and an old friend of mine,

who has now joined BBC's Waterloo Road for the 16th series as the new dark-spirited teacher, Darius Donovan. But tonight he's flying Alan Eyre.

It's the one and only John Richardson.

This is the final boarding call for John Richardson. This is the final border call for John Richardson.

This is the final boarding call for John Richardson.

John Richardson, could you please make your way to the game?

This is the final boarding call for John Richardson.

John. John.

John.

Thank you.

Look who we've got on board It's John Richardson, how you doing, John?

Yes, I'm very well, how are you?

It's already gone well, the dog's bitten you?

Add a little go.

Add a little way where it comes again.

Oh, look.

I love this dynamic for a podcast that you invite people in and say,

the dog will bite you at random points. But you did touch the dog and it bit you? I went to, there you go knocking. Look, did you just knock the camera? No, it doesn't want me filmed. Rita. Rita, and what have you got one of my dildos in your mouth? What is that a meat stick? That's a meat stick. Can you make them? Can you say that's not a dildo?

That is a meat stick.

I buy them from An Summers. That's like prosciutto, isn't it, around that? Yeah, only the best of her. Well, do you know what? She's had a nibble of your fingers and she thinks, right, I'm going to have to process meat. Upgraded. graded to process meat.

Yeah, it's lovely.
