Luke and Harry discuss the worst intro to an episode of Playing Favourites they've ever done, as well as constructing their very own Playing Favourites Olympics of sports not in the current games. It's quite exciting and has a structured format once you get past the rubbish at the beginning.

Luke and Harry discuss a big list of fictional dads (what a shocker), some real dads (I know, terrible), and the qualities behind what makes a good fictional (and also maybe real?) dad.

As per usual there's always a battle against Luke's shower that someone will start using at some point during the episode. In this one it's particularly noticeable and I apologise for that, the audio just gets a bit weird for ten minutes or so and then is fine again. Apologies!

Fran is a part of the National Youth Choir and has been involved in the world of classical music from the age of like, 6 or something, and now she's here to discuss various weird classical music terms, pretending to play instruments in an orchestra, and whether or not these weird new modern pieces can even be called "classical music".

Luke and Harry discuss in great detail what it means to be a "board game", as well as TV-show tie-in games, classic childhood games, and what a Playing Favourites board game might look like.

Oh, this one was also recorded whilst Harry was at home for Christmas, so once again this episode's audio is a bit naff. But that's okay, PFEp19 will be back to normal!
