  • Playing Favourites Finale - Favourite Thing

    Here we are, at a day that was surely inevitable. The Playing Favourites Finale. Surprise, it's a very normal, semi-average episode in turns of quality. We didn't get [current trending celebrity] on as a guest, there's no "omg that's the funniest moment in PF history", we've just fiddled with the format to decide on the ultimate, final question. What's your favourite thing?

    Harry and May run through their Top 10 lists of their favourite things to ultimately settle on one Ultimate Favourite for both of them. Who? What? Why? Have a listen, let's find out.

    Be sure to tweet @PlayFavourites on Twitter or email [email protected] with any final thoughts you may have - keep in touch, keep subscribed, who knows if there'll be any Playing Favourites news later down the line.
