This week, Hayley, Duncan and Tommy take a nostalgic wander from the world of 1980s Filofaxes to the shadowy realms of spies, secrets and accidental espionage.

It all begins with Hayley reminiscing about the satisfying click of Filofax rings, the smell of leather, and the joy of neatly writing birthdays by hand. Soon, Duncan recalls his mum's yearly ritual of copying dates into a new paper calendar, and before long the trio are deep in conversation about privacy, the cloud, and whether we might one day go back to paper diaries.

Then things take a turn — from Cold War number stations and umbrella assassinations to Tommy's astonishing true story of filming a children's TV feature in Ethiopia… only to discover years later he'd been caught up in a CIA operation.

Expect laughs, memories, and a few "did that really happen?" moments in this funny, fascinating chat about how the past still echoes today.
