   Alex Horne - comedian, creator, and the middle of three boys from Chichester - joins Harry to talk about loving school, his hard-hitting Goldsmiths student documentary about urban foxes, and whether the word "meat" was meant as a pun in Harry's new ballad. We also hear about a 24 hour singing challenge that accidentally lasted 25 and three quarter hours, why Alex's wife Rachel is in charge of his private pension, and a highly questionable "life swap" idea based entirely on dishwasher ethics.Architectural historian and seaside culture expert Dr. Kathryn Ferry stops by to celebrate Scarborough’s 400th anniversary and answer the questions that matter - did King George III actually say "bugger Bognor"?
