  Now, more than ever, we need someone on our side. But Rob Whitman? Whitman's votes drove up costs, cut Medicaid, and risked 350,000 Virginians' health care to pay for tax breaks for himself and his donors. He's not on our side.

• 1:34Declan Donnelly?

  Hi, guys. Hi, everybody.

• 1:36Ant McPartlin?

  Hi, guys. Hi, we're on a holiday, guys. Can you tell? Got shades on.

• 1:41Declan Donnelly?

  He's got his shades on now. He's fully into the holiday mood. Have you settled in? Have you settled in your holiday now? Are you?

• 1:47Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah. I'm well into it. Yes. Yes, I am. Are you?

• 1:52Declan Donnelly?

  I am. I'm so relaxed, I haven't shaved yet.

• 1:55Ant McPartlin?

  No, you haven't, have you?

• 1:56Declan Donnelly?

  No.

• 1:56Ant McPartlin?

  Are you liking it?

• 1:58Declan Donnelly?

  No. Well, it's got less itchy, so that's why I keep... Because before, like when we talked last week, it was getting really itchy and it was annoying me. That just kind of stopped. I got through the itchy stage.

• 2:10Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, grows a little bit more, doesn't it? And then it just feels a little furry. It feels quite nice. You can't stop touching it. That's why you see a lot of bearded men just doing that. Because they like the feel of it.

• 2:20Declan Donnelly?

  I catch myself with my tongue out quite a lot.

• 2:23Ant McPartlin?

  Licking it.

• 2:24Declan Donnelly?

  You lick it out.

• 2:27Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, yeah.

• 2:30Declan Donnelly?

  Whatever we're thinking of.

• 2:31Ant McPartlin?

  It's not a great look.

• 2:32Declan Donnelly?

  Is it not a great look?

• 2:33Ant McPartlin?

  No, it's not.

• 2:34Declan Donnelly?

  Whenever I find myself, you know, in a contemplative mood, when I'm thinking about something.

• 2:38Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah.

• 2:38Declan Donnelly?

  I was barbecuing some burgers the other day and I just found myself just going like that.

• 2:44Ant McPartlin?

  It's like you're really looking forward to the burger. I can't wait to eat a burger.

• 2:51Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah, I think I might shave it off though. I think I'm done. The current Mrs D is not happy. She wants to read.

• 2:57Ant McPartlin?

  God, my wife hates it when I've got a beard or any kind of growth. They feel growth. That's sound weird. That's sound weird again. I've done it again. I've done it again.

• 3:09Declan Donnelly?

  Well, listen, welcome back, everybody.

• 3:12Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, welcome back to hanging out on holiday.

• 3:14Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah, I hope you're all well wherever you are. If you're on holiday too, remember to let us know. We want to know where you are, what you're doing, and how many Bernard ratings you give your, um, your current holiday destinations.

• 3:26Ant McPartlin?

  And please do some guerrilla marketing force, please.

• 3:30Declan Donnelly?

  Yes.

• 3:30Ant McPartlin?

  Wherever you are. So the world needs to know about the podcast. So please, spread the word.

• 3:35Declan Donnelly?

  We can see Heckler's Corner back in London. Uh, you seem to have made yourselves at home with our mugs as well now. Not only are you in our chairs, you now have got our mugs and you're drinking tea out of our mugs.

• 3:46Speaker 04

  It feels good.

• 3:47Speaker 05

  It feels really good. We're stealing your snacks too.

• 3:49Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 3:50Ant McPartlin?

  What snacks?

• 3:51Speaker 05

  From your dressing room.

• 3:52Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 3:53Declan Donnelly?

  Oh, from up there?

• 3:54Ant McPartlin?

  Oh, from the drawers out there?

• 3:55Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 3:56Ant McPartlin?

  Oh my God.

• 3:58Speaker 05

  It's great. We're having a great time.

• 3:59Speaker 04

  Yeah, thank you. Yeah.

• 4:01Ant McPartlin?

  Someone said to me the other day, the fan of the podcast, they're like, you should give them their own podcasts. Absolutely not. That is not a good idea. Nobody wants that.

• 4:10Declan Donnelly?

  Hanging out with the hecklers.

• 4:11Ant McPartlin?

  Hanging out with the hecklers. Let us know in the comments if you'd like that, because if you like that, I'm shutting it down right now.

• 4:16Declan Donnelly?

  You wouldn't, you wouldn't like it. You wouldn't. You'd listen for one week of curiosity and then you wouldn't go back.

• 4:20Speaker 04

  We'd get the views.

• 4:22Ant McPartlin?

  Hanging out with the hecklers.

• 4:24Declan Donnelly?

  Not a chance.

• 4:25Speaker 04

  Well, we might change the feedings by the time you get back.

• 4:28Declan Donnelly?

  Well, you've changed the logo and the screen behind you there, hanging out with Heckler's Corner.

• 4:32Speaker 05

  The light's not on either.

• 4:34Speaker 04

  Yeah, we didn't turn your light on.

• 4:35Ant McPartlin?

  What? What? You're just a bunch of rebels?

• 4:38Speaker 04

  We make our own rules. Yeah. And we took a load of flags out your map.

• 4:42Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 4:43Ant McPartlin?

  The rules are, they're in the rules.

• 4:46Declan Donnelly?

  Do not touch my map. That's how I can keep a handle on our reach.

• 4:52Ant McPartlin?

  Ah. You're actually the worst singer.

• 4:54Declan Donnelly?

  With a fuzzy beard.

• 4:56Ant McPartlin?

  With a beard?

• 4:57Declan Donnelly?

  Mm-hmm.

• 4:59Ant McPartlin?

  Um, so you gave us, um, some postcards, right? Mm-hmm. Uh, we got sent these by hecklers to our holiday destinations. Um, I've got a couple of postcards here and basically they're your letters that they have stuck on postcards because it's holiday themed and we're gonna spend this episode, this bonus episode, reading them out. I think that's a good idea.

• 5:26Declan Donnelly?

  It's a good idea.

• 5:27Ant McPartlin?

  That's one of your better ideas, Heckler. Thank you. Well done. All right, I've got one here. Uh, hello, gang.

• 5:33Speaker 05

  Hey.

• 5:34Ant McPartlin?

  Hey, hold on, I'm just getting a cup of tea. Thank you, darling. Go on, do you wanna be in the podcast? Do you wanna be in the podcast? She said no. She said no. Oh. Bye, bye.

• 5:47Declan Donnelly?

  Ask her how the podcast smells.

• 5:49Ant McPartlin?

  Can you smell the podcast?

• 5:52Ant McPartlin?

  She said yes.

• 5:55Declan Donnelly?

  Oh dear.

• 5:56Ant McPartlin?

  Oh dear. And that smells like.

• 6:06Ant McPartlin?

  And where was I? Uh, hello, hi, hello, gang.

• 6:09Speaker 05

  Hey.

• 6:11Ant McPartlin?

  Um, just listen, what is, what was the picture of? Oh, it's a big wheel. Can you see that? Nice.

• 6:17Declan Donnelly?

  Ooh, where's that?

• 6:18Ant McPartlin?

  Just listened to Ant talking about his sunglasses falling into the urinal and I thought I'd share a similar story from my wedding day. I went to the loo and when I stood up, I tried to pick up the skirt of me dress so it wasn't on the floor and my tiara fell down the toilet.

• 6:35Declan Donnelly?

  Oh no.

• 6:36Ant McPartlin?

  I had had several bubbly drinks by then, so I just rinsed it off and wore it for the rest of the evening. A few months later, a friend wore it as her something borrows, but I didn't tell her it had been down the loo. Respect, guys. Emma. I love that, Emma.

• 6:55Declan Donnelly?

  The big question is, what state was the toilet in? Like, was it post-flush, pre-flush? Was it still a little bit of bubbly wee in there?

• 7:03Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah.

• 7:03Declan Donnelly?

  I guess, I guess, I guess because she rinsed it, it was pre-flush. Well, pre-flush.

• 7:11Ant McPartlin?

  Pre-flush.

• 7:14Ant McPartlin?

  Do we think?

• 7:15Declan Donnelly?

  I think it's pretty flush.

• 7:16Ant McPartlin?

  I think it's quite smelly down there.

• 7:18Declan Donnelly?

  I don't know.

• 7:19Ant McPartlin?

  That's always number one.

• 7:20Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah, it was definitely wee wee tiara.

• 7:22Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah. That's okay.

• 7:26Ant McPartlin?

  Wee wee tiara. Hello, I'm not your wee wee tiara.

• 7:31Ant McPartlin?

  That's not, tha- tha- that's okay. That's not a big deal.

• 7:34Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah, as long as it's number one and you can rinse it off.

• 7:37Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, exactly. But that's good to add to the list, though. Tiara down the toilet.

• 7:41Declan Donnelly?

  Tiara down the toilet.

• 7:42Ant McPartlin?

  Sunglasses, jacket for me, tiara. Didn't you see something fall down the toilet?

• 7:48Declan Donnelly?

  Phone, I've got a phone.

• 7:50Ant McPartlin?

  Phone, phones have fallen down the toilet. Something of mine recently fell down the toilet.

• 7:59Ant McPartlin?

  What are you laughing at?

• 8:01Declan Donnelly?

  Just like, oh, I'm sure I dropped something down the toilet.

• 8:03Ant McPartlin?

  I'm sure I did.

• 8:06Ant McPartlin?

  It's a missing, yeah, anyway, they'll come to me. But it's happened again.

• 8:11Ant McPartlin?

  It has happened again since we spoke last. And I thought, I must mention this on podcast. And then the weeks went by and I never mentioned it. And I've forgotten. Oh, well, that's been fifty for you.

• 8:26Declan Donnelly?

  I've got one here from Johnny Walker, the guy who.

• 8:28Ant McPartlin?

  Johnny Walker?

• 8:29Declan Donnelly?

  The guy who makes the whisky, I think.

• 8:30Ant McPartlin?

  Oh, yeah. Well done, Johnny.

• 8:32Declan Donnelly?

  He sent me a beautiful postcard with a swan on it.

• 8:36Ant McPartlin?

  A swan and a bridge. Where, where is that? Do we have any? No?

• 8:40Declan Donnelly?

  No. Johnny says, I have a week to fill in the six weeks holidays with the wife and the kids. And having never visited the North East, I'm considering a trip to Newcastle.

• 8:52Ant McPartlin?

  Do it.

• 8:52Declan Donnelly?

  And the surrounding areas.

• 8:54Ant McPartlin?

  Uh, do it.

• 8:55Declan Donnelly?

  Having never visited, I thought, who better for travel advice than you two? Although if Mr Mulhern could film a travel show in the next couple of weeks, that would also be unofficial. Uh, should I aim for Newcastle itself or the surrounding areas? Is Whitley Bay a good shout? Is the metro an easy way to get round?

• 9:11Ant McPartlin?

  Yes.

• 9:12Declan Donnelly?

  Any help or travel advice would be greatly appreciated. That's from Johnny Walker.

• 9:17Ant McPartlin?

  Johnny, the North East is a wonderful place to visit Newcastle, Northumberland. We used to, I used to caravan in Ambo, over Northumberland, which is beautiful. You've got loads of lovely places. So Newcastle itself is great to spend time in. It's a great nightlife, friendly people. You've got down by the quayside, which is great, where the time bridge is and the blinking eye and the music venue, the stage. And then if you go out of Newcastle, you've got lovely places like Anne Gardens. If you're into that kind of thing, that's very picturesque. You can go up to Walkworth Castle, which is beautiful, Sea Houses is beautiful.

• 10:00Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, you can't go wrong having a holiday up there in the North East.

• 10:05Declan Donnelly?

  The great thing about Newcastle as well is that you get, you get the best of all worlds. You get a city break, being in the city. You can get out to Northumberland, into the countryside, which is absolutely beautiful. And then the beaches are only 20 minutes from the city. So you can go out to Whitley Bay, Tyne Mouth, and then go up the coast to Sea Houses and Colour Coats. And you can buy the sea, there's some beautiful beaches up there.

• 10:30Declan Donnelly?

  So you've got the best of all worlds, especially if you go in the summer and you get the weather as well. You're absolutely on to a winner. So I would stay in the city. The Met Road is a brilliant way to get around, gets you everywhere and just have the best time. It is fantastic and the people are really friendly. They'll give you a very warm welcome. You're gonna absolutely love it.

• 10:53Ant McPartlin?

  You will love it. There's a chain called Pink Lane Bakery, right? You ever been to Pink Lane Bakery?

• 11:00Declan Donnelly?

  No, but I've heard about it.

• 11:00Ant McPartlin?

  Oh my God, their donuts and that are insanely good. I would recommend that.

• 11:07Declan Donnelly?

  There's some brilliant new restaurants and pop ups and stuff in Newcastle. If you go on social media, if you have a look at Instagram and TikTok, if you put in like eating in Newcastle, some brilliant pop up places. There's some fantastic food. So it's definitely, definitely worth a visit. And dead easy to get there. We've got an airport, we've got a train station. What's not to love? There's a lovely little beach in Tymark called King Edwards Bay. And down there, there's a fantastic restaurant called Riley's Fish Shack.

• 11:35Ant McPartlin?

  Oh, that is great, Riley's Fish Shack.

• 11:37Declan Donnelly?

  Get fish and chips, sit on the beach and eat all the other food is brilliant. And it's been in like loads of.

• 11:44Ant McPartlin?

  Like hecklers, you'd love it. You would love it. It's got that little bit of poshness to it. You know what I mean? No posh, what's it? It's a little, it's a bit more modern than.

• 11:53Speaker 04

  A bit chic.

• 11:55Ant McPartlin?

  Chic, all these words I wouldn't put with it.

• 11:58Speaker 04

  Upmarket.

• 11:58Ant McPartlin?

  Cool, yeah, it's a bit cooler. Yeah, it's a, it's a, it's a cool little fish shack. It's lovely.

• 12:04Speaker 04

  Oh.

• 12:05Declan Donnelly?

  It's brilliant though, loads of good places to eat down there, down Tymark, Whitley Bay, North Shields. Brilliant.

• 12:10Speaker 04

  I mean, you sold that very well.

• 12:13Ant McPartlin?

  I know, we need a little bit of one got from the North East tourist board.

• 12:18Ant McPartlin?

  Tour guides. Yeah, we should do walking tours. We should do walking tours. We'll have a little umbrella, a red umbrella at the front. Follow me. Pinky in there, do that way.

• 12:30Ant McPartlin?

  Um, right, I've gone here. Um, and my postcard is a cathedral, nondescript. Just, just a painting. Just, I don't think it's anywhere in particular.

• 12:42Declan Donnelly?

  It will be somewhere.

• 12:43Ant McPartlin?

  It, would you think so?

• 12:45Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah.

• 12:45Ant McPartlin?

  Hmm.

• 12:46Declan Donnelly?

  No.

• 12:47Ant McPartlin?

  Disagree. And Deck and Heckler's Corner.

• 12:51Declan Donnelly?

  Hey.

• 12:53Ant McPartlin?

  Me and my best friend have always been big fans of yous and our whole lives, everyone has said, we're like yous. Getting us mixed up. Where's the other one when we're not together? So when we were on our girls' holiday in Zanty. Oh, Zanty Girls' Holiday. I know what happened there. We got tattoos.

• 13:13Declan Donnelly?

  What goes on in Zanty?

• 13:15Ant McPartlin?

  Stays in Zanty. They got tattoos that we felt summed up our friendship.

• 13:19Declan Donnelly?

  Ah, nice. Let's have a look.

• 13:21Ant McPartlin?

  Here are the said. No way.

• 13:26Declan Donnelly?

  They got an aunt tattoo and a deck tattoo.

• 13:30Declan Donnelly?

  That is so funny. That is.

• 13:32Ant McPartlin?

  Oh my god.

• 13:35Ant McPartlin?

  Oh my god.

• 13:38Ant McPartlin?

  That is brilliant.

• 13:40Declan Donnelly?

  Oh my goodness. On their ankles, if you're just listening, one of them has an ant tattoo and on the other ankle, the other person has got a deck tattoo. It's very good. Is that aerial? Times New Roman, not Times New Roman, is it? Aerial? Helvetica? Helvetica. I think I'm a Helvetica. Comic Sans, not Comic Sans.

• 14:01Declan Donnelly?

  It's very nice. That's weird. Who's that from?

• 14:03Ant McPartlin?

  That's it forever. That's it. Let me finish then. So they say, personally, we would rate them eight bananas. Our parents don't think the same, unfortunately. While you guys are on your lads holiday this summer, Ant, you reckon you might convince Deck to get a matching tattoo? Respect, guys. Love the pod. That is from Annabelle, who is the ant in this duo, and Kira, who is the deck in this duo. So Kira's got the deck tattoo and Annabelle has got the ant tattoo. So firstly, before we answer your question, can I just say that is sensational? That's called above and beyond free friendship. Don't you think?

• 14:44Declan Donnelly?

  We are very, very honoured.

• 14:46Ant McPartlin?

  And flattered. Flattered, honoured. Respect, guys, to you. Respect, guys.

• 14:54Declan Donnelly?

  So in return, I think you will have to get an Annabelle tattoo on your ankle, Ant. And I have to get Kira on my ankle.

• 15:03Ant McPartlin?

  We just do it. Let's do it. Let's do it. Ah, you see? Now your eyes have gone wide.

• 15:11Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah, I don't think I'll get away with a Kira on my, on my right ankle. I'm thinking Mrs Dunley would have something to say about that.

• 15:21Ant McPartlin?

  Well, if we give them context, if we give our wives context, that's the reason why we've got.

• 15:26Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah, I'm sure that'll be fine. I'm sure that'll be fine.

• 15:29Ant McPartlin?

  So it's for the podcast. Don't question it.

• 15:31Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah, just let the beer, it's for the podcast.

• 15:33Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, exactly. I could just write, I could get a marker pen and just write on your ankle and you could write on mine for next week's show.

• 15:41Declan Donnelly?

  We could do that.

• 15:41Ant McPartlin?

  Could we do that?

• 15:42Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah.

• 15:42Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah.

• 15:43Declan Donnelly?

  Let's do that.

• 15:44Ant McPartlin?

  And yeah, as a mark of respect, guys, we will write those names on our ankles. And they'll stay there for two or three days because it'll take a while. It'll take a while.

• 15:55Declan Donnelly?

  For the sharpie to wear off.

• 15:56Ant McPartlin?

  For the sharpie to wear off. Depends how much swimming you've done in the pool on holiday.

• 15:59Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah.

• 16:00Ant McPartlin?

  So, yeah, thanks, guys. That is, that is very good. I've actually got the picture here myself. I'm going to just.

• 16:09Declan Donnelly?

  That's brilliant.

• 16:10Ant McPartlin?

  That's really, that's really good. It's going to keep that. I'll put it over there and not tell anybody in my family what this is. And I'm sure I'll get a lot of questions. Okay.

• 16:22Declan Donnelly?

  We'll, we'll do that in the next day or so. We'll, we'll write the names on our ankles. We'll take a photo of our ankles next to each other and we'll put it at the end of this episode.

• 16:31Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah.

• 16:32Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah. Let's do that. I've got one here from Chloe. She says, hi, Ant Dec and Heckler's Corner.

• 16:39Ant McPartlin?

  Hey. Hi.

• 16:41Declan Donnelly?

  She's gone somewhere cold.

• 16:43Ant McPartlin?

  Oh, this time of year, wherever you found with that, that amount of snow.

• 16:47Declan Donnelly?

  A winter scene on the, on the postcard. Says, I love the pod and I've watched you guys for years and love you both. Um, that's very nice of you. My partner of 10 years are getting married this month and would love a shout out. Ooh, shout out Chloe and her.

• 17:04Ant McPartlin?

  Shout out.

• 17:05Declan Donnelly?

  Chloe and her fiance who she hasn't named. Do you have any words of wisdom for us as we start the next chapter of our lives? Respect, guys, love, Chloe. Well, Chloe.

• 17:15Ant McPartlin?

  Well, Chloe, what do we say? It's the best.

• 17:20Ant McPartlin?

  It's the best. You're gonna love it.

• 17:22Declan Donnelly?

  You're just about to enter a very special time in your life.

• 17:27Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah.

• 17:27Declan Donnelly?

  Where you become a team with you and your husband, who has not been named in your letter.

• 17:33Ant McPartlin?

  An honest man.

• 17:35Declan Donnelly?

  With his honest man, if he does indeed exist. No, it's a very, very special time and especially these early days of being married. You enter the honeymoon period and you have a very lovely time getting to know each other. Even deeper, a deeper relationship, deeper understanding, deeper love now that you are joined in Holy Matrimony. And my first bit of advice would be to enjoy that.

• 18:05Declan Donnelly?

  Enjoy that little honeymoon lovely cloud of love that you're in. My second word of advice would be, everything from now on is a compromise.

• 18:17Declan Donnelly?

  Everything is a compromise. You have to do it as a team. Therefore, that means you're never fully in the right or in the wrong. You have to compromise and do things for the pair of you. So yeah, it's not, not always your way is the best way anymore. You have to listen to the opinions and thoughts of your husband.

• 18:43Declan Donnelly?

  Give him a say, give him a fair trial.

• 18:48Declan Donnelly?

  Give him a good go. No, you know, you, you've got, you've got a brilliant period coming up. But yeah, you are a team now, but it's a lovely, lovely thing to have that.

• 18:59Ant McPartlin?

  It's brilliant, isn't it? It's a, I love, I love being married, you know, we're very lucky to have wonderful wives and who support us in what we do, who are, have got our back. And who we love obviously very much. And you're right, you know, being a team and doing it together is, it means so much more. It's like even experiences, if you're experiencing something wonderful, whether it's a gig or a sunset or a, I know, I know these all sound like cliches, but it's true. You know, you want to experience those great things with a partner because with your wife or your husband, because it just feels more meaningful.

• 19:44Ant McPartlin?

  And you get more from it, doing it together as a couple than, than you do on your own. So yeah, just enjoy, just have, have fun, enjoy it and.

• 19:54Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, it'll, it'll get, it'll get pretty serious over time. So have a laugh now, guys.

• 20:01Declan Donnelly?

  Well, yeah, even, but even when it does get serious, like, just remember, like, these are the good times, you know? We're all gonna get older and we're all gonna have trials and tribulations ahead. But right now, where you are, just married, freshly married, in a new partnership, these are the good times. So enjoy them.

• 20:24Ant McPartlin?

  Uh, me next, I have got, and oh, I've got a snowy scene as well. There you go. So, woo. Is that in all the lights in the background? I think it is. Hi, Ant Dec and Heckler's Corner.

• 20:37Speaker 05

  Hey, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh.

• 20:41Ant McPartlin?

  I like it. I'm so happy that Aunt recommended Widows' Bay on the pod recently, as it has quickly become one of my favourite shows ever. Exclamation mark. What a TV gem. As Aunt is clearly a man with great taste in TV series, thank you very much. Uh, may I ask what his favourite TV series of all time is? Uh, respect, guys, love, Holly White. Uh, first of all, thank you, Holly. What a great postcard to read. It was a very good series. Uh, favourite TV series of all time.

• 21:23Declan Donnelly?

  Wow, that's hard.

• 21:24Ant McPartlin?

  Uh, that's really hard. I've got a few classics, and I think I mentioned them before, Sopranos being one. Um, Lost, even though it got lost a bit near the end, I still love though, I still remember loving those early episodes and couldn't wait to watch the next one. Game of Thrones, though, is probably the one where I immersed myself in that whole series and just, just lived it. I was shocked by it. I cried. It, it, it done everything that a really good TV series should do. It surprised you, it delighted you, it, um, took your breath away at times. Uh, I, there, there was

• 22:06Ant McPartlin?

  moments where it was, um, uncomfortable to watch because one of your favourite characters has died. Um, but it was just, it, it was, it had a sense of scale. It was epic. I love Game of Thrones. Loved it, loved it, loved it. But.

• 22:24Ant McPartlin?

  Even little things like comedy series that we talked about the other day, like doing the Young Ones when we were going on, like that was just so important to our age group watching the Young Ones, because it was something we talked about at school, like, did you get the chance to stay up and watch it? And some of us did, some of us didn't, and if you didn't, you kind of lied and said you did to try and fit in. Because it was that important, the Young Ones. And you remember really good comedy, Vic, I remember watching Vic Reeves and Bob Mortimer, where we were going on Channel Four. That was a really important comedy series. They were huge at the time. They're like rock stars. So funny, so different to anything else that was on the telly at the time. And, and we'd come into work, we were

• 23:07Ant McPartlin?

  doing Better Growth, weren't we? When Vic and Bob were kind of at the height of their success. And people would quote their lines to, to each other in the makeup chair and on set all the time. No, you wouldn't let it lie. You wouldn't let it lie. Oh, you wouldn't let it lie. Um, love. Do you have any idea what we're told about hecklers? No. No. Um, but yeah, that, you've got that, you've got great drama, great comedy. I couldn't pick, I couldn't pick just one. I couldn't. Could you?

• 23:43Declan Donnelly?

  No, no. I think you're right.

• 23:45Ant McPartlin?

  Your voice went a bit high then.

• 23:46Declan Donnelly?

  It did, didn't it?

• 23:47Ant McPartlin?

  No, no.

• 23:47Declan Donnelly?

  I got a bit emotional.

• 23:50Ant McPartlin?

  Not again.

• 23:51Declan Donnelly?

  If I could tell you. I might write a letter to television of the past.

• 24:00Declan Donnelly?

  I would say, I would say Game of Thrones. The one that, it was, when I got into it, I couldn't wait to watch another episode. You know, being at work that day and going, I can't wait to get home tonight and watch another episode of Game of Thrones. That was that one. But yeah, you're right, all loads of stuff growing up. Used to watch the Young Ones over and over again, recorded it and on my VHS player, would watch the Young Ones over and over again. Yeah, but if I had to pick one, I'd say Game of Thrones was the one that I've never, I don't think I've gotten into a, a series since as, as, as much as I did with that one.

• 24:40Ant McPartlin?

  Oh, really?

• 24:41Declan Donnelly?

  Hmm. Don't think so.

• 24:42Ant McPartlin?

  Did you like The Crown?

• 24:44Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah, I loved The Crown.

• 24:45Ant McPartlin?

  I love The Crown.

• 24:46Declan Donnelly?

  Crown was good.

• 24:47Ant McPartlin?

  Loved it.

• 24:47Declan Donnelly?

  Really good. Who's your favourite queen?

• 24:51Ant McPartlin?

  Um, clarify, original.

• 24:53Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah, yeah.

• 24:55Ant McPartlin?

  I just like everything about that era, you know, just I'd like all the costumes and all the props and just how elegant everybody was.

• 25:03Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah.

• 25:04Ant McPartlin?

  Dashing and elegant they all were. Um, yeah, and she was amazing.

• 25:09Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah.

• 25:09Ant McPartlin?

  Like her accent as the queen was fantastic.

• 25:13Declan Donnelly?

  I think.

• 25:13Ant McPartlin?

  And such a lovely girl when we met her.

• 25:15Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah, she was great. I think because she was the first one as well, like, you know, she set the bar.

• 25:21Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah.

• 25:21Declan Donnelly?

  Her and Matt Smith as Prince Philip. Brilliant. Loved it. Loved the crown.

• 25:26Ant McPartlin?

  Um, what are you watching now? I'm watching, let me tell you first.

• 25:30Declan Donnelly?

  Go on.

• 25:31Ant McPartlin?

  Even though I asked you the question.

• 25:32Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah, go on. Talk over me.

• 25:33Ant McPartlin?

  I'm watching season two of Beef on Netflix. Have you seen it?

• 25:40Declan Donnelly?

  No, I haven't. So do I need to watch season one?

• 25:43Ant McPartlin?

  You don't need to watch season one. So season one, eh, was, it's a, it's an A twenty four series and it's about this. Season one is set in California and the, this man and this woman get into kind of a, a, a road rage incident. And they're really angry at each other and loads of weird stuff happens throughout the whole series. And it ends weirdly in a kind of A twenty four way, but really good, really rewarding and a funny watch and it's quite intense at times. But season two is completely different. Like the, the, um, Carrie Mulligan is the female, one of the female leads in it. Um, who's really good and they, her husband in the show runs this country club.

• 26:28Ant McPartlin?

  And so it's husband and wife and they're getting blackmailed by two of their employees. And it's just, it's a bit White Lotusy. White Lotus is another one. Actually, put White Lotus on the list.

• 26:40Declan Donnelly?

  Setting a country club sounds like it's very White Lotusy.

• 26:44Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, but it's really good. I've, I, that's another one. I can't wait to kind of watch another one tonight. So, um, Beef, if you haven't seen Beef season one or season two, get on it. It's very good.

• 26:57Declan Donnelly?

  We're watching.

• 26:58Ant McPartlin?

  Yourself, back to my original question.

• 27:01Declan Donnelly?

  We're watching Alison Steve on Disney Plus.

• 27:03Ant McPartlin?

  Oh yeah, is it good?

• 27:04Declan Donnelly?

  It is good.

• 27:05Ant McPartlin?

  Is it?

• 27:06Declan Donnelly?

  So it is Nicola Walker, who is in Unforgotten and loads of other brilliant dramas. And Jermaine Clement from Flight of the Conchords.

• 27:14Ant McPartlin?

  I love Flight of the Conchords, that's another one of my favourites ever.

• 27:18Declan Donnelly?

  That's another one. And they play a couple, they play two characters who used to go out with each other. And they are now in their early 50s. She has married, but they're still friends, they're still really good friends, even though they used to go out together. And he is single, he's a celebrity hairstylist. She is married and they go to a funeral, they meet up at a funeral of a friend. And she says, I can't believe you're still single. How are you still single? You've got, you're so lovely and you've got a good job and she says, I'm gonna make it my mission to find you somebody, a partner.

• 27:56Declan Donnelly?

  Anything, through a series of events, he ends up staying over at her house one night, sleeping on the sofa. And her daughter comes down in the middle of the night for a glass of water and they end up on the sofa together. So he ends up going out with her daughter.

• 28:11Ant McPartlin?

  Oh no.

• 28:12Declan Donnelly?

  Who he used to go out with, the mum. So she obviously doesn't take it very well, but the daughter is bang in love with him, he's bang in love with her. So it's a very funny situation about how they.

• 28:24Ant McPartlin?

  That sounds good.

• 28:25Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah, how they navigate it, it's very good. Brilliantly acted, excellently written, would recommend. I'm only on episode three, but eight bananas so far.

• 28:35Ant McPartlin?

  That's good.

• 28:36Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah, it's really good.

• 28:37Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah. Um, oh wow, what would I do, manga, Beef, season one, I would give six bananas. No, actually seven bananas, I really liked it, really liked it. And so far, season two has given me same, seven banana vibes.

• 28:53Declan Donnelly?

  It's good.

• 28:53Ant McPartlin?

  So keep it up.

• 28:54Declan Donnelly?

  So for, for your recommendation.

• 28:56Ant McPartlin?

  Yes.

• 28:57Declan Donnelly?

  I know you said you don't have to go back and watch season one, should I? Or should I just go straight into season two?

• 29:02Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, go back, go back and watch it, it's good. You don't need to, because there's two, they're two very separate stories.

• 29:08Declan Donnelly?

  Right.

• 29:08Ant McPartlin?

  Uh, but it's very funny, very good.

• 29:11Declan Donnelly?

  Great, good recs.

• 29:13Ant McPartlin?

  Very good recs.

• 29:15Declan Donnelly?

  Recommendations.

• 29:16Ant McPartlin?

  Uh, are we done?

• 29:18Declan Donnelly?

  No, I've got one more.

• 29:19Ant McPartlin?

  Oh, have you? Okay, go on.

• 29:20Declan Donnelly?

  Last one from Marcus Tomlinson Wilde. He sells very posh, doesn't he? Hello, Marcus Tomlinson Wilde here.

• 29:27Ant McPartlin?

  Hiya.

  Hiya, lads. Once on holiday in Weymouth, I saw this and thought of you. Cracking podcast, carry on. I always put it on when I have very little else to do. Besame mucho and kind regards.

• 29:42Declan Donnelly?

  Marcus Tomlinson Wilde, he sent us a picture with a, with a, with a fort on it. Well, it says, it's, well, it's a big picture of a, I guess it is a fort.

• 29:53Ant McPartlin?

  It's a fort.

• 29:54Declan Donnelly?

  There's a huge sign on the top of the fort saying, no, the fort.

• 30:01Ant McPartlin?

  No, the.

• 30:02Declan Donnelly?

  No, the. No, the fort.

• 30:05Ant McPartlin?

  No, the fort.

• 30:06Declan Donnelly?

  So that is just fort. No, the.

• 30:12Declan Donnelly?

  Fort. Are we going to force today? I'm gonna go and have a look at fort.

• 30:18Ant McPartlin?

  That is so good. Oh, you say, send us, send us any more funny photos, pictures from your travels, because they're very good.

• 30:26Declan Donnelly?

  Marcus Tomlinson Wilde, thank you for that. He's been a Newcastle fan since 1974 and saw Malcolm McDonald play. There you go.

• 30:33Ant McPartlin?

  No, well done. Well done, Kedda.

• 30:35Declan Donnelly?

• 31:01Ant McPartlin?

  Could you hear that?

• 31:02Declan Donnelly?

  That was a really noisy drink.

• 31:05Ant McPartlin?

  What, when you were doing business?

• 31:06Declan Donnelly?

  You know that I'm.

• 31:07Ant McPartlin?

  You're doing business?

• 31:07Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah, I was doing business. You know, I've got that thing, like I said, with the lollies. I've got that, what's it called again? Misophonia, misophonia. Don't do that. That's horrible in my ears.

• 31:16Ant McPartlin?

  I don't even have that in my, um, in my official mug.

• 31:21Declan Donnelly?

  Oh.

• 31:23Declan Donnelly?

  Not allowed. Kind of mug is that?

• 31:27Ant McPartlin?

  Shot and walked right into the stool. Did you get that?

• 32:23Declan Donnelly?

  We'd got the end of it. We might have got a bit of it. Fall over again because we missed the star. We missed the star.

• 32:28Ant McPartlin?

  I'm not gonna fall over. Don't I? I've cut me, me toe.

• 32:34Declan Donnelly?

  Oh, no.

• 32:35Ant McPartlin?

  I told you it would happen. Didn't it still happen? Put on the bingo card.

• 32:39Declan Donnelly?

  Holiday bingo.
