- Two old people trying to remember things
That actor from that programme. The one with the hair who used to be married to the one from “Buck’s fizz”
No not her - maybe Brotherhood of Man or Bananarama.
The one that liked Thatcher?
Sausages!

United Kingdoma month ago They have been away for a while but they are back, been a fan of Carol since Tickle Your Trout and Nick is everything that radio and podcasts can be. Their relationship is superb and I certainly would need a code word with Carol. Without doubt the best podcast available (ok second after The Newsagents).
Podcast Addict53 months agoblackpoolgraham- Boring now!
I think it’s now done every subject at least 3 times.
And the stories from N&C are just repeating themselves every few episodes.
Plus Nicks obsession with the ‘right wing’ just spoils the show.
It’s meant to be a general chit chat show, not a party political broadcast from Nick!
Apple Podcasts5WWhaat!United Kingdom3 months ago - 🌟 Superb!! 🌟
I’ve been a devoted listener of Nick Abbot on the wireless since the early 90s, and he never misses a beat. He’s incredibly funny and stays true to himself, always leaving the listener a bit smarter than they were before. I love the dynamic he shares with Carol - they make a wonderful, hilarious team. If you haven't checked out this podcast yet, you’re missing out!

Apple Podcasts5SeeEeeDubbleyooUnited Kingdom4 months ago - Great show
Disappointing that there is suddenly no show for a month, no doubt while Carol is off on holiday again (lucky her!) Maybe Nick should get a stand in while she’s away rather than the whole thing being cancelled for a month?!
