Liz has not quite perfected her ‘gracious loser face’ after a disappointment at an awards ceremony, but it’s reminded her of her brush with Hollywood royalty 20 years ago at the Oscars. Nic’s been watching a new George Michale documentary, and wondering why we think celebrities owe us any of their private lives. Plus, Liz has realised the only thing that will make her truly happy is financial security (but a £9 bottle of Crémont from Lidl will have to do for now!)

In which Liz feels that she can’t go on

For 20 years she&rsquo;s been Britain&rsquo;s most unfiltered columnist. Now Liz Jones has an equally outrageous podcast as she and her best friend Nic dissect her weekly diary and delve into the archives to relive the bust-ups, betrayals&hellip;and bullets

Comedy

Liz and Nic are both going on holiday so the podcast is taking a break. But never fear, the pair are here this week with some of their best moments from the last few hundred episodes. Think men, fashion, animals and (sadly for Nic) Liz singing her heart out. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In which Liz goes on a break

Liz has found a new heroine in the Lionesses' goalkeeper Mary Earps while Nic is trying to transform herself into Davina McCall. Liz is making a pros and cons list for moving back to London, and inspired by her magazine cover at 78, the pair look back to Liz’s interview with Dame Helen Mirren.

In which Liz longs for London

Liz is looking forward to her mini break with Mini the dog, and Nic's looking forward to lighting Liz's expensive candles and using all her beauty products while she's house sitting. The pair look back to Liz's ill-fated trip to Glastonbury but Liz might have to dust off her old tent if she doesn't find a house to buy soon.

In which Liz enters house-hunting hell

Liz finds a new movie about a female writer whose husband dislikes her writing all too familiar. Nic, after hearing from two psychics that she’s ‘let herself go’, has picked up a new hobby that she hopes will bring her mojo back. Time for her to bust out her boas! Plus, Liz explains why actually, traveling with a younger man is not the dream you’d think it’d be.

In which Liz finds the love of her life

Liz and Nic are transported back to their childhoods by a book about the writing of Black Beauty, but is the way we treat animals now any better than in the Victorian era? Liz has found the perfect dress for a wedding, but who should she take with her? Plus, Liz receives some sage relationship advice from a reader. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
