Cockney & Son

Send us Fan Mail

We’re back! After a little half-term break, Cockney & Son returns for another episode of laughs, questionable advice and two generations trying to make sense of the world.

🚨 Bit of a Natter: Why is the UK Government encouraging households to prepare 72 hours’ worth of emergency supplies? From power cuts and cyberattacks to Dad’s survival plan involving a tin of tuna, we discuss what it all means and whether Steve would actually survive three days without electricity!

🌍 What D’Ya Reckon? We’re revealing the top three things people put on their bucket lists. Seeing the Northern Lights, visiting world-famous landmarks and jumping out of planes are all up for discussion. But there’s one problem… Dad reckons he’s already done everything worth doing!

😂 Bleedin’ Dad Joke: The terrible jokes are back, including a listener submission from Lisa and David that actually gets Dad’s approval!

Plus, we’ve got some family news! Dad’s preparing for knee replacement surgery, which means he’ll be moving in with us while he recovers. What could possibly go wrong?

Two generations. Two very different opinions. One proper Cockney natter.

This week, Lew and Steve are having a proper natter about the rumours of its return. Was The X Factor better when the judges could actually say what they thought? Could the show work in 2026? And, most importantly, if Steve was in charge of casting the judging panel… who would he choose?

Then it’s time for What D’Ya Reckon?, as Steve tries to guess the top three things people love doing on a rainy day. Will he manage all three this week?

And, of course, we finish with another round of Bleedin’ Dad Joke, including a brilliant listener-submitted joke that’s been passed down from dad to daughter.

Plus, next week is our Halloween Special — so send us your best (or worst!) Halloween jokes!

Two generations. Plenty of opinions. And absolutely no guarantee we know what we’re talking about.

Could you really work FIVE full-time jobs at the same time without anyone noticing? 👀

This week on Cockney & Son, we’re getting into the unbelievable story of a civil servant currently on trial, accused of working multiple full-time public-sector jobs at the same time, at one point allegedly being contracted for 183 hours of work a week! He denies all nine counts of fraud and the allegations have not been proven.

That gets us talking about working from home: are people actually more productive, does it give us a better work-life balance, or has Dad got a point about everyone needing to get back into the workplace?

Then it’s time for What D’Ya Reckon?, as Dad attempts to guess the top three things adults wish they’d actually been taught at school from managing money to mental health and starting your own business.

And, of course, we finish with another round of Bleedin’ Dad Jokes, including a listener joke from Leanne that might actually be better than ours.

Two generations. Plenty of opinions. And somehow, we’re still talking to each other.

Things get a little political on Cockney & Son this week…

With Britain and the EU back in the conversation, me and Dad get stuck into Brexit, whether the UK could ever rejoin the EU and, most importantly, whether either of us would vote differently if there was another referendum.

Then it’s time for What D’Ya Reckon? as Dad tries to guess the top three things people think they’re better at than they actually are from driving and multitasking to pretending you know what you’re talking about when someone hands you a glass of wine. 🍷

And, of course, we finish with the Bleedin’ Dad Jokes, including another listener submission… although this week our listener’s husband Ian has decided to muscle in on the action.

Plus, we end the episode with some lovely family news as we welcome little Pippa into the world. ❤️

Two generations. Plenty of opinions. And the usual Cockney & Son chaos.

This week, we’re having a proper natter about AI the jobs it’s already starting to change, what could disappear over the next 10 years, and whether there’ll eventually be a robot capable of replacing Dad. Although, to be fair, it might have an easy job…

Then it’s time for another What D’Ya Reckon?, as Dad tries to guess the top three things people immediately notice when they walk into someone else’s house. Smell? Cleanliness? Décor? And yes, he has opinions on all three.

And we finish, as always, with the Bleedin’ Dad Jokes including a listener joke sent in especially for Dad that apparently only someone of his generation would understand.

Two generations. Plenty of opinions. And absolutely no idea where the conversation will end up.

We’re back! Cockney & Son returns for Series 3.

Lew and Steve are back behind the mics with two generations, plenty of opinions and absolutely no guarantee that everything they say is fact.

This week, they’re having a natter about Harry, Meghan and the changing Royal Family, including how attitudes towards the Royals have changed since Steve was growing up.

There’s also the small matter of Steve becoming an unexpected viral sensation thanks to a knee massage in the South of France…

Plus, it’s goodbye to a couple of old favourites and hello to brand-new section What D’Ya Reckon?, where Steve has to guess the top three things people do when they think nobody’s looking.

And, because apparently two series weren’t enough, Bleedin’ Dad Joke is back — now with jokes sent in by you.

Stick the kettle on. Series 3 starts here.

We’ve made it… the final episode of Series 2!

After 20 episodes of laughs, debates, moans and questionable dad jokes, Lew and Steve wrap up another brilliant series before taking a well-earned summer break.

This week they’re reflecting on a huge family milestone as the boy finishes primary school and prepares for secondary school, sharing memories from the past seven years and talking about how quickly childhood seems to fly by.

Steve gives his thoughts on making family memories without spending a fortune, while Lew returns from a trip to Harrods wondering who on earth spends £154 on a baby grow.

Plus, they chat about UK holidays versus holidays abroad, why the best memories often come from the unexpected moments, and, of course, finish Series 2 with one last round of Bleedin’ Dad Jokes.

Thank you to everyone who has listened, watched and supported Cockney & Son throughout Series 2. Have a fantastic summer, make plenty of family memories, and we’ll see you soon for Series 3!

Cockney & Son – Series 2 Episode 18 | 

This week on Cockney & Son, Lew and Steve tackle the everyday life skills they think every child should be learning before leaving school. From changing a fuse and sewing on a button to growing your own food and basic DIY, they ask whether schools are focusing on the wrong things.

The pair also have a proper moan about the madness of the final weeks of term. School shows, discos, trips, assemblies and endless events – are schools trying to cram too much into the last fortnight before the summer holidays, and what about parents who simply can’t get the time off work?

Then it’s over to Say It Like Steve as Dad gives his verdict on England’s World Cup hopes. Is football finally coming home, or should fans keep their expectations in check?

As always, the episode finishes with another round of the Bleeding Dad Jokes, where Lew and Steve go head-to-head with some truly terrible one-liners.

Grab a cuppa, settle in and join two generations putting the world to rights – one moan at a time.

Britain is baking, tempers are rising, and everyone seems to have an opinion.

This week, Lew and his 69-year-old Cockney dad, Steve, tackle the UK’s 2026 heatwave. Was the legendary summer of 1976 really hotter? Should schools stay open when classrooms become ovens? And should there be a legal maximum temperature for workplaces?

They compare British summers to some of the hottest places on Earth, chat about why the UK always seems unprepared for extreme weather, and ask whether we’ve become more cautious than previous generations.

Plus, Steve shares his no-nonsense advice for surviving the heat, they discuss the importance of staying safe in soaring temperatures, and round things off by testing out Lew’s Father’s Day gift – a button packed with 120 terrible dad jokes.

A hot topic, plenty of laughs, and another classic generation gap.
