  • Great podcast but….

    Where is series 6 episode 10? Can someone please look into this? Also it is LOADED with spoilers so if you’re new to the show and don’t want to hear who wins future series you definitely shouldn’t listen. I’ve had a few future series ruined for me already.

  • Front ham Is back gammon.

    Backgammon… gammon is a type of uncured pork. The opposite of back is front. It’s just a play on words :-) also I love the podcast
