Boy George & Luke Gamble - Big Hats & Sick Cats

Boy George drops in and reveals plans for the first proper Culture Club reunion in 13 years, plus TV vet Luke Gamble attempts to solve the nation's pet problems.

Boy George was Graham's first guest this week and he revealed Culture Club's latest reunion plans, talked about Diana Ross trying on his clothes and discussed his dismay regarding Joan Collins not returning his tweets.

After 12 TV vet Luke Gamble got perplexed by three legged Jack Russells but recovered enough to answer some of the nation's pressing pet problems. Someone must have forgot to tell Luke he was on the radio though, as he came fully dressed in jungle gear - Ray Mears eat your heart out.

After the new depths plumbed by last week's 'I Can't Believe It's Not Better', there was an slight step up today - but only a very slight one. Pat Marsh in Stoke selected 'Grandad' by Clive Dunn, and rather than collectively putting their fingers in their ears, the nation got all wistful for a second - before turning the radio off.

In the latest 'Grill Graham', Norton, McErlane and you, the lovely listener, gave advice to Naomi who couldn't get an Australia-dwelling unrequited love out of her mind, and assisted Karen's husband who was terrified of an operation to cure his snoring problem. This clearly hit a nerve as BILLIONS OF YOU wrote in with advice. Not a word of exaggeration. We're the ±«Óãtv, we wouldn't do that.

The latest 'Tune With A Tale' was 'You Never Talked About Me' by Shakin' Stevens, as interpreted by Paul Wallace in Romford. We also found out Paul is a teeny bit jealous of Shaky and that he gets upset when people use the term 'railway station' instead of 'train station'. Railway station railway station railway station railway station.
