In this week's Book Club podcast my guest is the satirist Craig Brown, talking about his brilliant new book A Voyage Round The Queen. Craig tells me what made him think there was something new to say about Elizabeth II, how he found himself in possession of the only scoop of his career and about his mortifying encounter with Her Maj.

With the passing of Elizabeth II, we take a bite-size look at the relationship between Her Maj and British intelligence, as well as that of her namesake 400 years ago. How close were both Elizabeths to the world of espionage, how was the Royal art collection an intelligence nightmare, and was Elizabeth II the only regent to have a James Bond working for her? A right royal episode indeed!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Happy birthday to The Queen! We sat down to record this week's show on Her Maj's 96th birthday, looking at that adorable new official photo and sweet messages from Charles, Camilla and the Cambridges. The big story from this week is Prince Harry's latest TV interview and his controversial claims that he's still protecting his grandmother and making sure she's got the “right people around her”. We also chat about the Invictus Games, the royal family's Easter Sunday church service and the last minute change to Edward and Sophie's Caribbean tour.

The Fab Four meet Her Maj
Happy birthday to Her Maj the Queen! This week, the ladies are joined by Omid Scobie, author of Finding Freedom and cohost of ABC's The Heirpod, to discuss the funeral, what went down between Princes William and Harry, what's next for the monarchy, the Sussexes (and Omid!) and so much more. They also toast to Louis and Liz and reflect more on Prince Philip's enduring (but controversial) legacy, go over everything we know about Downton Abbey 2 and Ted Lasso season 2 (!!!) and lots more.

As we sadly reach the conclusion of our Good Life odyssey, the focus is all on Her Maj and Big Phil as they arrive at BBC Television Centre to attend the recording of the episode Lizzie herself insisted on. But does the Queen even know who Felicity Kendal is, despite this being her favourite show? And will big Phil say anything racist to the assembled BBC bigwigs? Once the pomp is out of the way, we suffer 2 middle aged dickheads with overflowing testosterone attempting to out-alpha one another, as they race around Surbiton (or pretend to, at least). #saddo #goodlife Check out the corresponding show notes page at https://saddo.club ( https://saddo.club/s01e31-rab-c-briers ) Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/sitcom-archive-deep-dive-overdrive/donations
THIS EP IS NOT TO BE MISSED! The brilliant Rosie Jones joins Jess and the gang this week. You'll totes recognise her inimitable voice from plenty of TV and radio shows, including 8 Out Of 10 Cats Does Countdown, The Last Leg , Comedy Central's Roast Battle, The News Quiz and Live At The Apollo. Rosie brings huge energy, fun and big laughs as she learns to imitate Her Maj, chooses some crazy combos for us to perform (Shakira singing I've Got A Lovely Bunch Of Coconuts, anyone?!), and talks frankly about how her cerebral palsy affects her voice and how she's incorporates it into her stand-up comedy.

The sun is shining, and (among other things,) Cath has planted a garden, Her Maj has been at ROYALASCOT and Meghan was back for Trooping with some extra bling on her ring finger. What do we think about it all? Pull up a pew and we'll tell ya! With no holds barred, as usual. Listener questions this week have us musing on the subjects of abdication, the royal foundation split, and whether or not we think Our Meg feels left out of a busy, sunshiny royal June schedule.

Did Meghan have a baby shower or something? We wouldn't know, we didn't hear a thing. Between the New York jaunt, Meghan's dodgy dad, and her trip with Harry to Morocco, you'll have to forgive us for finding ourselves with a full half hour of Meghan news this episode. But we do also cover off Bill and Cathy in Northern Ireland (and a very cute story from a gal on the ground), the George/Archie mystery, MIA Charles, Her Maj in florals, and what everyone thinks of Mr Clooney piping up recently with his opinion. Cheers, mate. We also made a very Tarantino-like short film (no blood or John Travolta sadly) about our big city shenanigans attempting to hunt down the couple of the moment on their royal tour of Australia, which you can view on YouTube.

When we enter a theatre building, the first point of contact before entering the world of the play - is the front-of-house staff. Those folk who welcome us in, guide us to our seat, or pour us a drink as we give in to the magic of the night.A popular personality behind the bar of Sydney theatres for many years has been Stuart Greene – a devotee of all things theatre, he is a walking encyclopaedia of our theatre heritage, from the buildings to what has graced the stages and screens. A chance conversation with the owner of his local record store, meant that he could secure an evening job to supplement his day work. His first shift was on the Opening Night of A Little Night Music starring Bruce Barry, Geraldine Turner, Doris Fitton and Tanya Elg. Working in theatres and cinemas is now a labour of great passion. He is a familiar figure at The Cremorne Orpheum, The Theatre Royal, and The State Theatre, where he also plays a role as archivist and gives a very memorable tour of the building. You might know him from the now absent Her Majesty’s Theatre where he was always a cheerful presence behind the downstairs bar. Stuart enjoys a chat …. and in our conversation he laments the passing of Her Maj (which he considers a great theatre built by The Firm of J.C. Williamson) and bemoans the absence of the dozens of theatres which were once a mainstay of entertainment in Sydney.
From Ascot to Dublin, Cheshire to St James's Palace, the BRF have been out everywhere doing all the things. We also wish happy birthdays to Georgie, Camilla, and Diana, Louis a happy christening (is that a thing?!), and our congratulations go to Her Maj for her epic fashion diplomacy Trump brooch troll. If that's legit, we give it five stars. Also: we call bullshit on the current reasoning for why Meghan wears shoes that are too big, and we have discussed at length this month's fashion choices from the comfort of clothes we wouldn't be caught dead in public in.

Hear the grannies rant on everything from plastic bags to boom gates, not to mention that handsome devil Donald Trump’s tea with Her Maj. Find out what that (very!) dumb mute Caroline did to get herself arrested, join the grannies as they undertake their first (and probably last) phone-in quiz, and find out which godforsaken corner of the earth they’ve dispatched poor Beryl Beltbuckle to this week. It’s time for your weekly fix of Edith and Maureen … because if it doesn’t hurt a bit, is is even fun?
Trooping of the Colour saw the Royal Fam out in force, including Meghan's first balcony appearance for the birthday flypast. Huzzah! Our Phil turned 97, Savannah Phillips got savage, Meghan brought her shoulders, and Her Maj was papped getting up close and personal with flowers, artwork, and horses. Come on in - it'll be royal.

This week, Beth's quite taken with Her Maj rocking bold black accents on her outfits, (which is a vast 180 to how we feel about Meghan's bootcut jeans. What even), the existence of nosegays, Phillippa Craddock being named the Royal Wedding florist, and Princess Anne's feathery cap, god bless her. We also discuss a breakdown of the royal wedding costs (thousands of sauso rolls will set you back), Kate down the supermarket, handmade trumpets, Phil and his hip, our thoughts about Haz and Meg's new royal titles, and Prince Charles and The Cling Wrap Incident. Also - by the next episode, we COULD HAVE A ROYAL BABY on our hands. Excite!
