  • Easy listening

    I look forward to Saturday Live every week. Absolutely love it - no matter who the guests are on the whole. Preferred it when it was longer. Most of the guests are interesting especially the lady farmer this morning 27/1/23. Many people have such interesting lives and we wouldn’t hear about them if it wasn’t for Saturday LIve - so thank you.
