A chaotic opening day of the first Ashes cricket test between Australia and England in Perth has seen 19 wickets fall – the most on the first day of an Ashes test since 1909. England were bundled out for 172 before Australia were kept to 123 for 9 at stumps – trailing by 49 runs. The day also saw Australian opener Usman Khawaja forced to bat at number four after being off the field for the end of England's innings with back spasms. English cricket great Ian Botham told Piney it's a good day for England, as they have a good lead and could almost wrap it up today. He says it's nice to say that England are in charge.

Looks Unfamiliar is a podcast in which writer and occasional broadcaster Tim Worthington talks to a guest about some of the things that they remember that nobody else ever seems to.This time, in a special summer edition, Tim, Bob Fischer and Georgy Jamieson are all crowding into a sweltering local radio studio with only a lone copy of the Capital Radio DJs' Dot Cotton and Thatcher impression-led parody cover of The Holiday Rap by MC Miker G And DJ Sven to hand, ready to take your calls about some of the seaside tat and summer holiday boredom that - perhaps thankfully - you just don't seem to get any more. So that's morning television being full of crackly old repeated imports and Why Don't You...?, Breakfast Television insisting on presenting daily roving 'saucy' reports from seaside towns, everyone watching the tennis and cricket coverage for the theme music and then switching off, the Radio 1 Roadshow, badly-planned interminable car journeys to rain-lashed resorts, those weird shops that sold plastic fishing nets and fold-up aviator shades and arcades that had one lone solitary 'Space Invaders' machine, the newsagent wheeling out that big freezer for another summer of rivalry between Wall's and Lyons Maid and much more besides. In a drizzly heatwave of a chat we'll be speculating on the efficacy of Kiss-Me-Quick-Hats sported by popular television puppets, searching for Ian Botham's constantly moving speakeasy, visiting the Motorway Service Station Mirror Universe, revisiting the BBC's 'Summer Apes' Season, celebrating the work of the Gary Davies Elvis fairground artist, despairing of the rival rivalries between Mr. Freeze and Ice Pops and The Halfwits and The Dingbats, revealing why all ice cream vans have an army of Mods in hot pursuit, organising a day trip to the exact spot where Roland Rat pushed Kevin The Gerbil down a hill, going to see Confessions Of A Ventriloquist starring Robin Askwith and Richard Herring, not staring at Erika Roe on an on-the-spot report live from a joke shop and debating whether summer is ever truly summer if you haven't spent the entirety of it throwing a tennis ball against a wall. Call in and tell us the most you've ever won on a 'one-armed bandit' now!You can find more editions of Looks Unfamiliar at http://timworthington.org/.

A chance encounter with the director Lindsay Anderson changed Robin Askwith's life forever. It led to his first acting job, playing the schoolboy Keating in Anderson's film if.... which became one of the most popular British films of all time. If.... kickstarted Robin's incredible career that spans an extraordinary period of time. Over the past 50 years, he's appeared in everything from Pier Paolo Pasolini's The Canterbury Tales to the Confessions comedies to Inside No. 9, The Madame Blanc Mysteries and even a stint in pantomime that saw him batting bread rolls with Ian Botham. Now he's enjoying something of a renaissance moment. And boy, does he have some stories to tell...

Colombian drug lord Pablo Escobar's first born son appears on How's That? - The Podcast.... Roberto Sendoya Escobar was born in Colombia and adopted from a Catholic orphanage by a British couple named Patrick and Joan Witcomb at an early age. He was puzzled by the armoured cars and high security that surrounded their home in Colombia, but he figured that it was all part of his dad's job overseeing the printing and transportation of the nation's banknotes for a company called De La Rue. Then, in 1989, when Roberto – then known as Phillip – was 24, Pat sat him down and told him the truth: his father was the head of the Medellín Cartel and had fathered Roberto as a young man in the 1960s before abandoning him. Plus, Pat did more than just print money for the government: he was closely involved with both Manuel Noriega, Panama's dictator, and British intelligence.... In this episode we chat with Roberto about Pablo Escobar's lost millions, Manuel Noriega, Colombian Special Forces, the CIA, MI6 agents, art, music, cricket (yes, Roberto was a wicketkeeper!), Shane Warne, Ian Botham, Curtley Ambrose, BBQ's,  backyard cricket, designing golf courses, and Roberto's book "First Born"!
