Happy Easter to you all from us and our regular Monday guest Helen Monks - who today sings us her ENTIRE primary school song, for reasons that aren’t clear. We also discuss the 90s TV show Man O’Man at some length.

Esteemed TV writer Julia Raeside is with us again and we mainly talk about Richard Schiff (The West Wing's Toby Ziegler). But there’s also a bit of space for Dr Karl Kennedy from Neighbours. Plus, Julia also us about her appearance on Parkinson (sort of).

There’s some sort of explanation for the title but we’ve already forgotten it, and there’s also a VERY excellent guest booking…

This Country’s vicar Paul Chahidi AND the host of The Fear podcast Sarah Morgan are our guests today where we discuss a real range of topics (Eminem’s Stan, a very coincidental Twitter interaction and orgies amongst other things).

We’ve got a great new game for you (if you live in an apartment with a balcony overlooking a terrace of some sort with square flags, so quiet niche. But hey, we’re trying).

And we also find out what happened on The Bill this week 20 years ago (ish).

Upstart Crow's Helen Monks is back on the show, and she’s had an absolute pizza disaster. We also talk about last week's episode of Have I Got News For You, which was QUITE SOMETHING.

Plus, find out why Dave has a wonky beard and Tom is absolutely over the moon (he had a nice coffee).

Rosie Jones is living her absolute best life in quarantine, back home being waited on hand and foot by her parents. But she’s also very hungover, and warns us she may throw up at any moment. FUN JEOPARDY!

The superb actor Tony Gardner (My Parents Are Aliens, Fresh Meat and Great Big Owl's very own excellent podcast Heavy Pencil) is our guest so we’ve taken the opportunity to really waste everyone’s time by subjecting him to our new segment Gardner’s Question Time (for rights reasons, this is nothing to do with Gardeners’ Question Time on Radio 4). 

Tony also gets quite cross when he learns about the Great Big Owl WhatsApp group. 

Plus we talk TIGER KING. Because we’re so ahead of the times. 

To listen to Heavy Pencil, just search Great Big Owl on your podcast app of choice.
