Steve Allen's Little Bit Extra. Morning, everybody. Welcome along to your free podcast for today. Friday, woo-wee!

I think I've got a cold. I know. I thought I had a cold earlier on when I was doing the program,

so I've taken two Anadin Extra. Probably not the best thing to take, but, you know, if it sort of clears you up,

I'm more than happy with it. It's the sixth of April, and I think sunshine must be around the corner. Summer must be around the corner. Simple reason being, I've started hanging around garden centres. I've started buying little bits and pieces. And clean the fountain. That's all working. The ball is turning. We've got one of those fountain, you know, turny, turny ball things. And that's quite nice, actually. And I'm looking forward to the weekend. Hopefully a bit of sunshine.

But somebody said to me, don't bother, Steve. It's going to rain. And I went, oh, well, can't we have to...

Where is God when you need him? Obviously, not looking after the crafty cockney.

Because, yes, Eric Bristow collapsed and died the other day. I love the crowd going, there's only one Eric Bristow. And I thought that was quite sweet. He'd have liked that. Only 60. That was hours after tweeting his predictions for the night's matches. He just had a massive heart attack and died there. And you think, oh, dear, you do sometimes doubt things, don't you? You kind of sort of doubt

all sorts of things when somebody drops dead at 60. It's only then that I realise my own mortality.

I kind of sort of think, you know, oh, if he dropped dead at 60 and I think, I don't know,

perhaps he had sort of, you know, years of smoking. Mind you. I've had years of smoking as well.

Peter Andre has decided that he must be running out of things to talk about.

So he's talking about his brother, Andrew.

Six years after he died, he said the families still don't talk about it.

Why not?

God, I talk about it all the time. Isn't that funny?

Obviously, some families don't, and some families do.
