#258 - Martin Lewis, Operation Snack and Takeaway Tittle-Tattle
If the aim of a usual Elis and John show is to deliver βyour classic 4-4-2β, today felt more like an adventurous 5-2-1-2 set up.
If the aim of a usual Elis and John show is to deliver βyour classic 4-4-2β (anecdote over the top, punchline flick-on, good radio bell finish), today felt more like an adventurous 5-2-1-2 set up. A formation that could bring the whole house of cards tumbling down, but if implemented successfully, it could be beautiful. Pivotal wing backs shuttling on the overlap between classic comedy defence and more exotic consumer advice interpretation attack.
New features were given a runout (Hot Gossip), old favourites returned to the side (Backing Britain), some regulars adopted a new position and cameo role before full time (Petty Parliament) and the big man up front was brought on for the last 20 (Martin Lewis). And by jove, the gaffer only went and pulled it off.
Long-winded, half-baked analogies aside, another rip-roaring show awaits, with the right honourable Martin Lewis CBE proving yet again what a thoroughly top chap he is.
Enjoy.
