Mark Nelson is joined this week John Lloyd, the creator of Spitting Image, QI, Blackadder and so much more, with casual stories of the rich and famous and the time he nearly became a police officer. Geordie comedian Sammy Dobson joins in on joining the police, aged four, and tells a fantastic story about a gardening conversation with someone she wasn't expecting. Completing the line-up is Scotland's best beat-boxer, Bigg Taj. Not only is he full of stories of his success and most cringeworthy gigs, he teaches Mark and the other guests how to beat-box.
