⚠️ Warning - Colson has has taken control of the bridge of HMS Sofa. He has rigged the A to Z randomiser wheel. We hate to break it to you but has forced us to talk about cricket for about 50% of this episode. If you can find interest and enjoyment in this then well done. 


Do not fret however because there is more to distract you. Namely, a classic 90s film and some light chat on variety entertainment.

🐀 A big question is answered today: What’s it like to be off down Nick’s Bits? Yes it’s all about the secrets of a legendary Corrie spot and a cornerstone of Ben’s life the past 15 years.


Plus, where do affairs start on Corrie and Jack working with rats and there’s a quick dive into a truly unique cult classic film. Also we hear of when Little Jack Shepherd seemed to perform a bank robbery.

Yes we’re doing an A to Z of your very favourite show - this one!


Every episode we’re taking one letter of the alphabet and applying it to something that makes up the world of On The Sofa in one way or another.


We’ll be back with the usual show structure in September but in the meantime Jack has a wedding and honeymoon to go to, Colson is going running and Kenya, and Ben is… well just filling his time I imagine.

🍜 There’s been a rift in the group. Ben’s been using the On The Sofa loyalty card in their favourite restaurant for his own gain. It’s poor behaviour but has he seen the error of his ways?

🎭 Ben’s away so it’s the Yorkshire duo of Jack and Colson this week. Speaking of Yorkshire, Colson’s done his first show for BBC Local Radio, which included chat about costume, wigs and props. He's now contemplating purchasing a beanstalk from Jack and The Beanstalk.


🪑 Speaking of Jack, there’s another wedding update from the groom-to-be, including his top tips on seating plans.

⛱️ One more outing for Jack and Ben as a duo and as a result it remains rudderless. They still feel lost whilst Colson is apparently off having his face entirely reconstructed out of the parts of different celebrities (he’s on holiday).


There’s also big news about Jack’s honeymoon. He’s booking out an entire country. Plus there’s an interesting insight into prop family photos and we tell you how to pass the pod at the carnival.

Colson’s off on his hols and the boys are treading water without him. Without Radio Yorkshire’s guiding hand on the running order they’re flailing.


But no matter as there’s lots of telly to talk about and Jack’s absolutely determined to get some free stuff, whether it’s sweets, yoghurts or felt tip pens.

What we’ve been watching…

  • Department Q (Netflix)
  • Andor (Disney+)
  • Mission Impossible (In cinemas)


Come and see us live!...
