Comedian Tony Dowling (pictured here with our Sylvia) was Graham’s guest on Wednesday’s Drive. Tony, who now calls Lincoln home, had over 30 years in showbiz and worked with the top stars of the day. It all started when he met Richard Burton and it was Ronnie Corbett who suggested he tried comedy! Jayne Mansfield was one of his favourite stars he worked with and he chatted with Robert Mitchum and James Stewart over a drink. Tony stepped in at short notice to announce the Beatles in 1963 - they were third on the bill! Tony even sold a car to Pink Panther star Herbert Lom. It was a true delight chatting to Tony, and kind of him to pop in to share his stories ❤️📻

Chris and Julie’s guest on Monday’s Through Noon was Mikey Helen from The Bezalel Project. They are putting on eight immersive Narnia experience events at churches in the City and surrounding villages in the run up to Christmas. Described as a sensory experience, you’re invited to smell the pine of the enchanted forest, feel the chill of winter without Christmas and stand in awe as Aslan breathes new life into stone. Through dramatic performance, ambient soundscapes and evocative lighting, each church becomes a living chapter in Narnia’s eternal battle between good and evil, courage and doubt, hope and redemption.
