In this bumper episode, recorded on a balmy July evening in a Lancaster summerhouse, the lads delve back into the letter-writing archive and show off their American Studies GCSE knowledge by revisiting the Bush/Clinton years with varying degrees of accuracy. There’s more politics later when IRA bomb scares are remembered, and the North/South divide is discussed within the context of the never-ending student discos. Don’t worry, there’s plenty of mirth as well as Pat and Jeff discuss haircut inflation, Pat falling for ‘Yorkshire lass’ Gabriela Sabatini, Stefan Edberg rampaging unapologetically across Warwick’s campus, and Jeff’s decadent yet educational commitment to music. The tennis aces also pose (and answer) a question that listeners will have been asking themselves since Episode One: why did they write and post these letters in the first place?
