Building me a fence

Simon Mayo

Presenter

Hey. Early morning November Wednesdays are my speciality. All dealt with via a de-caff coffee, a merry dance and a dash of mascara. Ms Prior is convinced that blokes should apply it on a daily basis. Who am I to disagree? All available help is welcome...

Richard Osman on the show today. The Pointless star is always a welcome sight-relentlessly jovial and astutely witty. We first met on the Confessions TV show in the mid-90s, a show to which he owes pretty much his whole career. Now his book ‘The World Cup of Everything’ is out and if there’s the slightest of chances that your family will argue about Brexit/Trump/May/Corbyn over Christmas, this might steer you in a different direction. Instead you’ll argue over which is the best crisp (Worcester Sauce) best sitcom (Porridge, though The Likely Lads is up there, RIP Mr Rodney), or best American (Bruuuuce). Plus drinks, biscuits, sweets, chocolate, bands etc. You get the idea. It’s all arranged in a knockout tournament format, with a clear winner at the end so KNOCKOUT TOURNAMENT songs can fight it out too.
