Theo and Rob get together for a season finale, centenary episode like no other, recorded live over Zoom with around 20 friends of the show to help them along the way.

Will they manage to keep their crosswording cool in front of a group of loyal listeners (including their mums), who have the ability to heckle in the chat? There's only one way to find out.

With special thanks to Zoom producer Erm Lombardi for producing this episode, who you get in touch with here:

Thank you for joining us for season three, that's a rap!

Rob and Theo are back in the same timezone, with Rob returning to his family abode in Herne Bay, Kent, a coastline that famously inspired Turner. On the other side of the crossword, they also consider the merits of chair designer Herman Miller's landmark Aeron, which Theo has recently become mildly obsessed with. There is also, inevitably, some world cup chatter, with England preparing to face Mexico in the Azteca.

And seeing as this is the penultimate episode of season 3, be prepared for plentiful plugs of the finale/100th LIVE EPISODE next Sunday (12th July) at 3pm.

The boys are back in (their respective) town(s), and get their teeth into a typically diverse range of topics from the naked commerciality of the World Cup to the importance of conquering shame in one's creative endeavours. On which note, listen out for some poetry at the end of the show.

Theo and Rob reunite in their new regular (UK) evening slot to discuss events both recent and more historic - like the time Theo slept through an entire day at university. And listen out for an unusually abrupt ending, as the technical gremlins decided they weren't enjoying an anecdote about Rafa Nadal.

With Prime Minister Keir Starmer facing revolt, the guys reflect on the now near-annual tradition of UK leadership change, how it compares to the situation in Canada, and the parallels with the recent fortunes of Chelsea FC. Other discussion topics include the etymology of 'hanky panky' and its near-neighbour 'sanky panky'. Can they also increase their lead in the crossword scores?
