We try not to get distracted by sandwiches as we talk central packing, funeral catering and, yes, the return of our old Geordie friend in the series finale. PLUS: We discuss playing with audience expectations, the clash of old and new Partridge, and where this series of Oasthouse sits in the APU.

This week we combine Alan's potato-themed blockbuster, a big Shrek, Tony Robinson, and an actual Geordie, whilst discussing bad graveside behaviour and Algarve camping, creating an episode that will tumble around your head like trainers in a washing machine and is not - repeat not - a bag of bits.

<...Alan's back in the commentary box this week as we put on our Heavy Thinking Hats and talk nude sleeping, Wogan's wake, coke, groupies, and Falkland penguins. Questions posed: Is Alan a hater? Does commentary work without imagery? Is Alan working his way through the 'phobias? All the haters, see you later, mash your brain like a bag of potaters.

Nasal health and bidets dominate the chat this week as we speculate about 'And Did Those Feet,' play Drive-by or Drive-lie and talk ASMR, recycled content and unlocked toilet doors. If you enjoy the pod, ask yourself: could I have this in leather?

Our extended rifle (not like that) through your feedback sees us try to date Carol (not like that), take on Edmonds, Daniels, Madeley and Partridge at once (not like that), delve into your bank holiday fantasies (not like that) and get corrected by a pedantic listener (exactly like that).
