Chat Hits The Fan Greg Hickson

Episode 20 (05/06/24) - This week it’s Greg’s Gourmet Slops. Instead of preparing some things to talk about like “those squares” Barry and Johnny, Greg decided that he would have a couple of drinks during the day and just freewheel his way through the show that he was meant to be in charge of. With a little help from Baz and John he just about gets away with it. Things on the show - Johnny meets some unhelpful people at the bank, Gayle leaves Coronation street, Greg discusses struggling to get out of “holiday mode”, impressions of Rishi Sunak and Keir Starmer at the debates and a Prime Minister getting smashed on his first day, Maggie Thatcher visits the studio to talk to Greg, the new Bad Boys film, interactive movie experiences, Greg’s struggles to make a video for a remix of the Um Bongo advert, mixing up Dick Van Dyke films, dots on samosas? a dead or alive quiz, the return of Loaded magazine, Johnny’s old job as a fake paparazzi, how Giles Brandreth killed Rod Hull, Greg drunkenly points out the obvious about Donald Trump and talks about visiting America as a child, Richard Osman, Future Greg and a whole lot more!
