What colour is octopus blood?
Tom Ballard is going to get this. Winnie the Pooh, Ursula the Sea Witch, Batman, and a cloud are standing by to help. At least two of those are marine biology experts, probably.

A joy to see Wax return! This was always an absolutely unhinged delight.
Seeing the first episode back feature “God/Devil” and no mention of Luke McGregor is going to be a rough change.
Having the improvisers be Something Good’ers is fun, but it was also great to have others like Zach Ruane or Michelle Brasier as characters.. But they aren’t in Something Good! 🫢🤯
EDIT: The phone is such a nice added touch! 🤣
Delightful little comedy vignettes.
A great show and fun format, I like to listen at work to get me through the office grind. Multiple occasions I have had to apologise to my colleagues for laughing uncontrollably. 10/10, can recommend!
So very very funny
Side splitting informative on so many levels. Pure magic hilariousness
