He's back. He's brooding. He's possibly plagiarising. And he's forgotten his sandwiches.This Liam Neeson Special features five of our most beloved (and ridiculous) parody interviews from the past three years — plus two raunchy sketches involving a sultry American MILF named Vagella Rick-Rocks, who may or may not be trying to seduce Liam in increasingly absurd scenarios.Along the way, Liam overshares about romance, attempts to rebrand himself as a serious creative artist, and pitches original ideas such as:A romantic comedy glove-based ensemble film (Glove Actually)A mob drama about therapy (The Carusos)A masked vigilante with Wilfred the butler and Boy Wonder, Robbie. (That Man)While giving us first-hand insight into his bizarre world of:Showing old ladies his 'Hamlet'African prostitutesLaughing at elephantsPeeing in men's handsHis short-lived career as SantaDoggingEach sketch is followed by commentary from Jorma and Ray, who try (and mostly fail) to make sense of Liam's creative process, real-life zoo visits and late night video games with celebrity friends like Carol Vorderman, Bill Nighy and Gerry Adams - and suspiciously familiar plotlines.It's part tribute, part chaos, part forgotten sandwiches – with extra lashings of filth.

Melvin Odoom has pledged his love to Carol Vorderman from the Australian rainforest so Jemma and Marina leap at the chance to kick off the episode with something sweet. The sweet quickly turns sour though when the Trawl ladies check in to see who Trump has appointed Education Secretary. Hold onto your hats, he might just have excelled himself. Then, it's time for Marina and Jemma to pay tribute to the late, great, John Prescott and the clip they've chosen for you provokes a lot of thought from Jemma. In fact she woke up thinking about why the clip resonated so much. Then, have you ever embellished the truth on your CV? This is what Rachel Reeves has been accused of doing by the opposition, only it's hard to find evidence she wasn't an economist at The Bank of England which is what they're suggesting. In fact, at The Trawl. Marina and Jemma have found a statement from someone who worked with her there, was in meetings with her and can confirm she definitely was. Could it be a brouhaha about very little? Is it Angela Rayner's council tax all over again? One thing's for sure, Rayner certainly isn't at all flustered in the clips from PMQ's Meanwhile, people are leaving X in their thousands as it increasingly becomes a boring cesspit.

A broadcaster, engineer, statistician and entrepreneur, at the age of 63 Carol Vorderman is now best known for fearlessly calling power to account.  Sick of the sleaze and corruption she saw emanating from our politicians she decided it was time to speak up.  And her million twitter followers and listeners to her LBC show listened. Why? Because she's one of us. An ordinary kid from a working class background, brought up by a single mum in North Wales.

A book about politics for people who think politics isn't for them. Carol joined me to talk candidly about menopause and gaining her voice at 60, The lifelong impact of being a free school meals kid, The importance of financial independence and Why she won't be cowed by bullies and trolls. She also gives us a useful lesson in how to spot a narcissist. Carol vorderman is living life without apology.

Carol, a self-described ‘old bird with an iphone' joins Nuala McGovern to discuss her new book: Now What? On a Mission to Fix Broken Britain. Part memoir, part tool kit the book relates Carols campaign to defeat the last Tory Government, and urges millions to find their voice and hold the new Labour Government, and all future governments, to better account. Following on from the Woman's Hour SEND programme yesterday, we now focus specifically on SEND provision for black and Asian minority ethnic families.

Plus, co-founder of the Sikh disability charity SEN Seva Praveen Mahal tells Nuala about her own personal experience. The pioneering photographer Lee Miller worked as a fashion model and an artist before becoming a war correspondent for British Vogue in the 1930s. Her images taken during World War II are some of the most arresting and enduring of the conflict. A new film about her life, which stars Kate Winslet, focuses on the period in her life when she defied convention to become a war photographer, travelling to the front lines. The film's director Ellen Kuras explains how they captured Lee Miller's adventurous spirit.Last night saw the first - and so far, only scheduled - televised presidential debate in the USA ahead of the election in November. Kamala Harris and Donald Trump spoke for 90 minutes, each accusing the other of lying. Women's issues were on the table for debate including a heated exchange on abortion.

This Ep was recorded the morning of the election announcement so the Trawl ladies are busy collating all the best reactions for the next episode. This one unpacks a strange week for Suella but before they get into that, they begin their trawl with a wonderful moment from Carol Vorderman who had the Joe Lycett audience whooping with delight. The students at Cambridge were much quieter when GB News and Braverman turned up to ask them why they were protesting about Palestine. Words have power but sometimes, so does silence. Although the guest she confronted in the GB News about the same topic, was gloriously outspoken and for once, it seems Suella didn't have much to answer back with. Then it's onto some of the reaction from the same news outlet regarding Ofcom's finding that their ‘Ask Rishi' forum was impartial.

But you know, these things happen...once, twice - or in the case of GB News - 12 TIMES. But maybe next time they'll face a proper section. The 13th time's a charm...Sticking with GB News, unlike their viewers, Jemma and Marina discuss Rees-Mogg's reaction to Ofcom's mild telling-off before getting stuck into the update you were all waiting for: Holly Valance's change of heart from Conservative to Reform. Jemma and Marina look forward to the next GB News installment where broadcasters bemoan Gary Lineker for not sticking to football, without even a hint of self-awareness. And it's about time a special mention was given to Special Economic Zones and freeports - a sinister policy and plan from this Government that is sweeping the country with very little coverage or accountability. Thankfully, Carol Vorderman is on hand to deep dive with the accuracy we all know and love her for.Finally a few tweets with some speculation over Obama's visit to Number 10 and a pudding from The Exploding Heads on Ofcom's latest weasel words.

In a crammed Christmas Cracker of chat we'll be debating the physics of those big televisions with shutters on them, stressing the need for a Loose Cannon reconstruction of Bob's drawing of a Lord 'a'Leaping', attempting to beat Carol Vorderman at Yuletide Maths, deploring the steady stream of one-shoed shoplifters hopping out of Bobby Cannon's, refuting any and every suggestion that clowns have any business being anywhere near anything to do with Christmas, exploring the financial potential of an Advent Calendar with Willie Rushton behind every single door and querying the value of using Rentaghost as a sort of all-purpose philosophical yardstick.

The Liberal Democrats conference in Bournemouth saw leader Sir Ed Davey hinting that his party would be prepared to do a post-election deal with Labour to prevent the Conservatives from forming a government. Of the 91 seats in which the Lib Dems finished second in 2019, 80 are held by Conservatives. After recent by-election victories, could the Lib Dems be looking like kingmakers once more? To answer this question, Niall Paterson is joined by Sky News deputy political editor Sam Coates who has been at the conference. And Liberal Democrat MP Sarah Dyke looks ahead to the next election after her big by-election win in Somerton and Frome. Plus, Carol Vorderman talks about her message to the Lib Dem conference, where she called for electoral reform and tactical voting.

Here we are, episode 409 of The Chris Moyles Show on Radio X Podcast and goodness, it's been a busy week. We were joined this week by SIX incredible guests including Davina McCall, who dished the details on why she is not hosting the new series of Big Brother and Carol Vorderman, who wound back the clock to when she first met Chris when he was 8 years old (Chris much disputes Carol's story however…). Amir Khan reflected on his boxing career and the infamous I'm a Celeb Strawberry-Gate, and Tom Chaplin discussed the 20th Anniversary of Keane's debut album ahead of their 2024 tour. Comedians Richard Herring and Lucy Beaumont brought the laughs as they chatted to Chris about their upcoming tours. As if that wasn't enough, we only went and launched The Prize Dump Tour 2023, which kicks off in Willey, Warwickshire on Monday 18th September!
