...the one where Paul told us about his sunbathing pig Blanche

This week we hear about Paul's sunbathing pig Blanche and his sadness over not being able to buy a pair of X-Ray glasses. Plus he has a moan about the lack of toilets at Radio 2!

Lost films, much-missed pubs and forgotten shops: it must be Paul's Sunday show.

With his unique voice, observations and wit, the programme is a fun and lively mix of eclectic music and chat that includes Paul's anecdotes from his week. Listener emails and letters - ranging from children to their great-grandparents - play a huge part and Paul deals with them in his own hilarious and sometimes 'Savage' way.
Paul's regular features draw heavily on audience interactivity including the 'Dead Pet Slot', shared ironing tips and not forgetting the weekly Thank You's, where Paul recognises those who go that little bit further for someone else.

The Radio 2 playlist gets ditched in favour of Paul's favourite music including such diverse artists as
Arthur Murray, Billy Williams and The Isley Brothers. Paul favours album tracks and rarities over the latest releases and also invites listeners to 'Keep the Faith' with his Northern Soul Triple. Motown, Hi-NRG classics and a 'cocktail hour' offering complete his unique mix. Oh, and Paul is joined in the studio each week by his pious mouse, Elsie.
