Paul O'Grady and the one with a moan about footie

BBC Radio 2 - Paul O'Grady, Paul O'Grady and the one with a moan about footie

Paul helped find Sue's Lost Film while his other listener had a moan about the World Cup.

Paul helped find Sue's Lost Film, told us 35 of his pets had died plus his other listener had a moan about the World Cup. Zacharias featured in the latest Cocktail Hour.

With his unique voice, observations and wit, the programme is a fun and lively mix of eclectic music and chat that includes Paul's anecdotes from his week. Listener emails and letters - ranging from children to their great-grandparents - play a huge part and Paul deals with them in his own hilarious and sometimes 'Savage' way. Paul's regular features draw heavily on audience interactivity including the 'Dead Pet Slot', shared ironing tips and not forgetting the weekly Thank Yous, where Paul recognises those who go that little bit further for someone else. The Radio 2 playlist gets ditched in favour of Paul's favourite music including such diverse artists as Wayne Newton, Barbra Streisand and Julie London. Paul favours album tracks and rarities over the latest releases and also invites listeners to 'Keep the Faith' with his Northern Soul Triple. Motown, Hi-NRG classics and a 'cocktail hour' offering complete his unique mix. Oh, and Paul is joined in the studio each week by his pious mouse, Elsie.
