The Good, the Bad and the Unexpected

Available for 29 days

Mark Nelson leads a panel of some of the UK’s funniest comedians and personalities as they attempt to decipher the good from the bad, with a few unexpected twists along the way. We’ve got a Scummy Mummy and a West End Mum in the form of Helen Thorn and Zara Gladman. Zara tells us about the viral football song that led to her being invited to the opening ceremony of a World Cup - just not that World Cup. Helen shares the story of a record-breaking performance on Mount Everest, while Sanjeev is still buzzing after dancing on stage with his teenage crush. Produced for BBC Radio Scotland by Richard Melvin at Dabster Productions
