As a radioproducer I would very much like to see this video. But, as I'm living in the Netherlands, it somehow shows me a not available in your area message ? I can view other videos from this blog, so what's different on this one ?
Kind regards,
Andre

Best thing about it is on big days, you get the full analysis and inevitably peter ripping into guests about everything.

Just to add my ten pence worth...Drive is indeed the finest programme on 5live now, Peter is simply the best and Aasmah does a great job too, yes I miss Jayne, but I really dont think the quality has gone down since her departure. Please keep it up
