Jo likes the lower buckone and I like the beatles one.

This week Mark and Jo are living in a car park in Derbyshire, mixing with boy racers and hating the daily mail.

We've just come back from Mallorca and we met a lovely couple from Glasgow.

Twenty odd years ago Mark went to collect a box of VHS videos from an old lady who was a recent widower. What he found made Michael Sheen laugh and share the story with an American chat show.
