Experts. Poo collectors. And an amazing amount of money raised for Helen & Douglas House children's hospice. You might actually learn things in this week's podcast. For which we apologise.
Mike and Tim get a little loose, have some fun and get deep as they enter into their second recording at the famous Douglas House. OK let's be honest - we are completely out of control and will be goddamned if it isn't fun as hell! Oh, and something is brewing with "the other show," - stay tuned.
Mike and Tim find themselves in the most haunted room of the famous "Douglas House," surrounded by ghosts of the past, present, and future - eventually performing their own version of 'Schmitts Gay' just moments after recording. Also, as a I type this, Mike is watching "Robin Hood, Men in Tights." Enjoy, this is a fun one!!
Putin's secret tunnel, ear hairs and a very large amount of money raised for Helen and Douglas House. Watch your dirty dancing at weddings.
Prof. Tony Wyatt and Dr Jo Smith (Palliative Care consultant, working at Helen and Douglas House) respond to questions
A filler episode that just won’t quit… Nick runs the gamut from concerned to flippant to sincere. It’s a rollercoaster!

This week Sue Lawley's castaway is a nun and a pioneer of the hospice movement. Sister Frances Dominica says she had always felt she was born to be a nurse and as a child would line up her dolls and teddies in pretend hospital beds and tend to them. But a dramatic revelation during her early 20s diverted her and, to the horror of her family, she abandoned her career for a contemplative life. She took her life vows in 1972 and, in 1977, at the incredibly young age of 34, was elected to be the Mother Superior of her community. The following year she met a family with a sick child and offered to give her respite care. It was that relationship which gave Sister Frances the idea of starting a children's hospice and, in 1982, Helen House opened. It was the first children's hospice in the world. For the past four years she has been fundraising for another hospice - which she calls a Respice, a mixture of respite and hospice – Douglas House, which is geared up for the needs of adolescents and young adults. Like Helen House, it is named after a patient who made a particular mark on Frances, although he did not survive to see it opened.[Taken from the original programme material for this archive edition of Desert Island Discs]Favourite track: Skye Boat Song by Elinor Bennett Book: The Earth from the Air by Yann Arthus-Bertrand Luxury: Chaise longue with a mosquito net attached
