The Likely Dads

Series 2

Past and Future

Duration: 28 minutes

First broadcast: on BBC Radio 4 LWLatest broadcast: on BBC Radio 4 FM

Available for years

Host Tim Vincent and regular panellists Mick Ferry and Russell Kane discuss what they think the future holds for their children and how things used to be when they were growing up.

What occupations will they have? What sort of grip does technology hold over our children? Was it easier being a parent 20 or 30 years ago? And if they could resurrect parenting practices from the past, what would they be?

As always, the two regular Likely Dads square off against each other to see how they would handle hypothetical parenting scenarios using their fathering experience in Mick and Russell's Dad Off. Meanwhile, the panel is asked to deduce the source of some anonymous facts from within the group. This week, our panellists must uncover whose experience buying a pram resulted in a panic attack.

Joining Tim, Mick and Russell this week - comedian Emmanuel Sonubi and writer and comedian Sanjeev Kohli.

Producers: Kurt Brookes and Ashley Byrne
