They think it's all over...but it ruddy well isn;t because our very special guest President this week is none other than the legendary Nick Hancock!
Join us as guest President Hancock leads us on a ramble through three special destinations chosen entirely at random with the use of Tony’s enchanted bingo machine. As ever, the omniscient voice of Sir Stephen Fry is on hand to keep a finger on the tiller of the good ship Toss!
First stop is at number 392- Customs of Life Cycle and Domestic Life. And Marsupials (because the President wills it so.) The hangover of WW2 rationing into the 1980s, the ITV/BBC dichotomy, overdosing on sugar and how easy it is to get caught out abroad. A right old ramble through individual customs awaits, along with the important question- 'Who cooked breakfast in your house?'
We then take a leap to 794- Indoor Games of Skill. The question here is what constitutes a "sport"? This turns out to be a trickier question than one might have assumed!
Our third and final ramble takes us to number 113- Cosmology- The Philosophy of Nature. A story of an altercation in a car park with tales of Jeremy Clarkson and the legendary Peter Cook await us...not sure what it has to do with Cosmology though!
After that it's back to the Presidential Shed where Nick remembers our lovely Tony and tells us who he was to him.
