The Moon Under Water

"As we head into tea time here at The Moon Under Water it's safe to say that John and Robin have formed a formidable partnership - John is currently on 78 not out (that's peanuts, not runs) and Robin the nightwatchman has steadied the ship by producing a lovely innings of 56, featuring a total of four boundaries and six yards of ale".

No doubt any cricket fans amongst you would have read the above in the voice of someone very special. We're joined by true broadcasting royalty in The Moon Under Water this week, as making their way into the Correct Realm is the one and only Elly Oldroyd!

Elly will be familiar to many of you as one of the voices of Test Match Special. She also soundtracks many of our weekends as one of the presenters of Weekend Breakfast on 5 Live. Although Landlord John could lay claim to having the best job around, Elly's can't be far off: she travels the world, watches cricket... and gets to enjoy some of the best pubs on offer. Her dream pub is about to come to life, so dive in.

Dry January is in full flow (or at least it's meant to be), and Landlord John and Robin are here with their weekly update on all things pint. Plus, they'll once again dive into the sack of Mist that has been growing ever larger at the door of The Moon Under Water.

Legendary. Heroic. Majestical. A Thesaurus can certainly help us describe our next guest at The Moon Under Water, but it'll never quite be able to capture exactly who he is. He's the sort of man that is often seen as the perfect pub guest, and someone that is almost perfectly suited to join us in the Correct Realm. We can't quite believe he's finally here... it's the one and only Barry Glendenning!

Barry may be one of the most beloved football journalists out there... he may also be one of the most beloved podcasters out there... but ultimately, he's known for being the perfect pub guest and a thoroughly lovely guy. He's sampled pints up and down the land, and can slot into any topic of discussion with ease; and we cannot wait to hear what his dream pub looks like.

You can hear Barry on Guardian Football Weekly, and on talkSPORT every Sunday morning.

Pubs are fun aren't they? Whether it's a good old knees up, a debate about what the best can design of all time, or a challenge to see who can fit the most pork scratchings in their mouth there's always something going on that will provide sufficient entertainment for the evening. If you're looking for an alehouse that, above everything else, will be fun then you best follow this week's guest. It's the founder of the concept of fun - it's Pat Sharp!

Pat is one of the UK's most beloved broadcasters, having appeared on our screens and in our ears since the early 80's; and above all he's known for being one of the nicest people around. Like Tony Blackburn before him, he has an uncanny ability to condense every story into a digestible 90 second snippet - and for that he's potentially the perfect pub guest.

Oh to be sitting in front of a roaring fire at your favourite pub. Book in one hand, pint in the other... is there any better feeling? It's almost impossible to capture the sheer perfection of such a moment in print. However, a handful of writers have been able to bring moments like that to life, and this week's guest is one of the finest novelists the Other Realm has ever produced. It's the incredible William Boyd.

William is an acclaimed author whose works of fiction have been celebrated the world over. His novels include A Good Man in Africa, The New Confessions and Any Human Heart, and his latest book The Romantic has received widespread critical acclaim. His experiences in pubs all over the world have helped him create pubs in his own pieces of fiction, meaning that he arrives at The Moon Under Water armed with a deep knowledge of what makes the perfect drinking establishment.. and we cannot wait for him to join us.
