Then we’ll begin this episode 2 with some island chat about exciting new hospitality discoveries compared against favourite old haunts, before encouraging you to buckle up as we swerve headlong down our very own Cresta Run of fast-paced political observations, all before hurtling down the icy slopes of topical chat to find Brits discussing the weather, foreigners, and sport.

We criss-cross the news highlights and linger over the Winter Olympics, before previewing Six Nations rugby battles ahead.  Tim lays out his theory about British sporting successes, so do let us know if you agree, or can add to our list of sports and pastimes, at which Brits tend to do unusually well.

As always, we sprinkle our chat with island references, name drops, and encouraging reviews encouraging us all to get out and about.  We wrap up this shiny episode by reviewing Alice Roberts’ new documentary series buffing up stories of Britain’s myths and folklore concerning the Holy Grail.  The island has many attractions and perhaps we can add to the already frenzied hut for fossils on our shores with chiselling as we comb our chines for fragments of grail shards or even just recollections of tales of yore.

These 2 old fossils will be back next time to showcase our fresh haul of information, commentary, and probing analysis.

Thanks for listening, and do let us know if you have any tips for interesting stories for us to follow-up on.

Tim and Rory
