Aye up duck!

You're probably listening to this episode in May (unless you're an EDNN enthusiast/anorak, going back over our greatest hits in the year 2027), but it was recorded way, way back in the first half of April. Hence, there are references to dead royals, pubs reopening outdoor seating and the Indian variant was yet to cancel summer. 

In time honoured fashion we comment on the latest round of re-opening in the UK, before things likely close back up again, allowing us to do another re-opening special in four months time. 

We ask some big questions, including who is gagging to get back into Next? What did the British do before coffee shops? Will Pete ever have sex again without dates taking place in low-lit pubs and does Leigh want a landline in his flat?

There's some 'uncle Stringfellow redux' in there, deep analysis of the hit 90s sitcom Keeping Up Appearances and Leigh's big summer plans for a pandemic gay cruise.

If that doesn't bring the punters in, we don't know what will.
