Sue Johnston & Stephen Mangan drop by

Sue Johnston and Stephen Mangan are the guests this week, plus two more listener dilemmas are dealt with by Norton and McErlane in another thrilling edition of 'Grill Graham'.

Another week, another incredible mixture of the sublime and the ridiculous - polytunnels, interfering 'suits' and radio walking all made an appearance.

Linda from Washington, Tyne & Wear selected our latest horrible hit in 'I Can't Believe It's Not Better' - 'Love Me, Love My Dog' by Peter Shelley. Peter - 'Hate You, Hate Your Song Choice' (only kidding).

Sue Johnston was this week's first celebrity guest and she chatted about why Brookside was such an innovative programme, the story behind The Royle Family's genesis and, drawing on her recent autobiography, her difficult relationship with her mother.

In the final hour Chris Rea's 'Raincoat & A Rose' - "not a laff riot" to quote Graham - was the 'Tune With a Tale', courtesy of Chris Simmonds in Aberdeen.

And Episodes and Green Wing star Stephen Mangan also joined us to discuss the origin of his surname, why he's in the bad books of Matt Le Blanc's girlfriend and the similarities between Postman Pat and Susan Boyle. Trust us, there are some if you look hard enough...
