Live from Studio One, our very special guest is the Pun Meister General, author and writer Ian Hornett, who, despite his doubly debilitating conditions of advanced Pun-osis and hyper Pun-itis, delivers the most Dad joke puns possible.

It’d the pun-acle of wordplay.  Some say they are cheesy – but we think they are Grate.

Pun=compromising groan fodder, with great music too!

With Bill Lawrance, Adrian Coen, Ian Hornett and Susie Dent

In May 1979, David Bowie released his album ‘Lodger’, triggering a series of letters between Adrian, Bowie and other public figures that lasted for over a year. 

This correspondence - a fantastic voyage of personal growth and youthful curiosity - has lain hidden in a storage unit in Marks Tey, until now.  And against the background of Bowies music from ‘Lodger’, this remarkable history is now uncovered.

With Adrian Coen

Live from Studio One, we investigate those islands that make Essex such a unique and beautiful place.

But Simon’s bees are loose in the studio, and Bob's got problems on the Isle of Thanet.

With great music too, of course

And with great music, of course.
