S15 Ep 813: David’s ‘I’m Sorry I Haven’t a Clue’ Obsession

On today’s action packed Mailbag, we kick off with a wonderful email from a Japanese Chatabiscuit who’s been living in the UK. Then there’s messages about compulsive liars, a celeb-filled cafe in Sheffield, some mundane Mum and Dad quirks, more Princess Diana memories, sleeping bags, two half marathon runners and a cricketer with a funny name. Apologies are also in order as Joe has to leave his hotel half way through the recording - but that doesn’t stop them from finishing the episode.

Well, today’s episode is a proper tale of two halves. Firstly, as David’s going on a camper van holiday this summer with his family, Joe wants to know everything about it. So David settles back and starts detailing the magical ‘memory-making’ trip that he’s planned. But Joe’s also been reading a few negative messages about the pod recently and soon diverts the conversation towards discussing those instead. Plus, there’s some chat about how weird it would be to live in each others houses.

Joe bumped into Vanessa Feltz on Brighton seafront the other day - who he’d never met before but they had a brief chat and she took a photo of them both. The encounter may have only lasted a few minutes but obviously David wants to know everything and his forensic questioning of Joe takes up the first 20 minutes of the show. Then, after discussing a few other celebrities they’ve been lucky enough to chat with, David recounts the full story of the time he met Miranda Hart.

After not admitting to some colleagues that he has a podcast, Joe wants to analyse why he and David both find it so embarrassing to talk about Chatabix, even though they love making it. Also, Natasha Demetriou has been in touch recently to ask them if they know how many hours they think they’ve spent recording the pod for - so they try to work that out for her. Then to close the episode, David recounts a life-affirming morning he had meeting a friend who’s just moved into his neighbourhood. Lovely!

David and Joe kick off today’s show with some shout-outs to Chatabiscuits and show some appreciation for their younger listeners. Then the chat turns to the lovely Jack Dee, acts of kindness, David being a linesman for his son’s football team and the challenges of coaching kids. Joe also reveals that he encountered some unruly youths on the train recently and had to intervene. It looks like Vigilante Joe might be back!

David’s recently fallen I love with the long running Radio 4 comedy panel show, I’m Sorry I Haven’t A Clue. He reckons it’s the ultimate comfort listen and also one of the funniest shows he’s heard in ages. So today he wants to take Joe on a deep dive into everything about it and also have a go at playing the game themselves. Joe also tells David about doing some radio comedy himself and David recounts the time he wrote a radio sketch for Griff Rhys Jones.

Joe’s filming in London at the moment, very near to Camden. Which is where his wife Petra used to live when they first dated and also where he spent a lot of time gigging in his early comedy days. He had a magical morning walking around the area and reminiscing - so discussing all of that with David takes up the first half of the episode. Joe’s morning also gave him an idea for a game they can play, where they randomly select a UK location and immediately have to recount any memories they have from that town or city. So that’s the second part of the show sorted. Enjoy!
