Firstly. Thanks for your reviews!

Brought to you by the original Radio Forth Zoo Crew they are naturally funny, warm and a little bit naughty as they reminisce of days gone by . Alison and John are masters of off the cuff and unscripted repartee. I laughed out loud several times and we all need a good laugh right now. Such a tonic . Great to have them back
