I go back to Liverpool on special occasions. When my mother was alive I
went often, and the highlight of Sunday mornings was the Billy Butler show:
‘Hold Your Plums’. (Don’t ask)
The format was simple, a phone-in quiz. The result was comedy gold as
callers struggled to find an answer despite clues that all but gave it it to
them. I’m not too sure I’d recommend
listening to these short clips (5mins average) all in one go, but even now I
found myself snorting with disbelief and laughter, much like I did all those
years ago. They also bring back memories of teaching, where I would be
determined to tease out an answer, and the pupil would be equally determined
not to give it.
Enjoy
