Andrew and Miriam discuss what his life might have been like if, a year after graduating from university in Oxford and getting a job in London, he had done a complete 180 and moved back to Oxford to write sketch comedy with a friend. Along the way they invent a fictional sandwich chain, narrowly avoid petty theft and helicopter Philip Larkin into the 2012 olympics. They also laugh A LOT.
