No symptoms, no problem, not always. Early bowel cancer often has no obvious signs. That's why if you're

aged 50 to 74 and registered with a GP in England, you'll be sent an NHS bowel cancer screening kit.

0:16.8

It's easy, it's free. You do it at home. So if you've received your kit, don't ignore it.

0:23.9

Don't wipe away the hidden signs. Return it. It could save your life.

Danny Wallace.

Well, hello. How are you? I hope you very, very well indeed, and more importantly, I hope you're minding that wind.

0:39.1

Yeah. You were, weren't you? You really got back to the roots of what radio actually is.

1:39.9

Yeah.

1:40.6

Which is effectively talking to your listener.

1:43.6

It's just the shame because you hate the listeners, don't you? Not all of them. Not all of them. But a good majority of them. Is it a majority? Is 90% a majority? I don't know.
