Episode 15
Eating a prawn madras alone, your tales of bravery and crime-fighting, and some communal reading
Show broadcast on 25 May 2014
Good news - John's back! Although he's been suffering with mouth ulcers, but don't worry he doesn't go on about it. Trauma for Elis this week too after he fell victim to a bag thief in central London. Our two heroes unsuccessfully chased the perps down Regent Street, so this week they've been asking for your tales of catching criminals and it turns out there are many brave vigilantes out there. Plus there's the usual Winner Plays On, Led Zeppelin are up for debate in Sacred Cow, and some relationship troubles are broached in Textual Healing. All this before John launches his campaign for office by asking you to keep live music alive.
