...the one where Paul realised he didn't want to be a funeral director

BBC Radio 2 - Paul O'Grady, ...the one where Paul realised he didn't want to be a funeral director

Paul told us about the time he had his banana confiscated.

In amongst All-Star Triples from Olivia Newton-John and David Bowie, a cocktail track and your letters, Paul found time to celebrate Malcolm's (21st) birthday... with a muffin.

Last week it was Vera's birthday, this week it was Paul's producer Malcolm's. In other exciting news, Paul told us about how his banana was confiscated before he had a chance to eat it on a plane, and his other listener remembered her shipboard romance.

There were All-Star Triples from Olivia Newton-John and David Bowie. Mike Post's theme from 'Hill Street Blues' was the Lost TV Theme and Denny McLain's version of 'The Girl From Ipanema' accompanied the White Russian Cocktail: please drink responsibly.

You can take part in the show any time, just email paulogrady@bbc.co.uk or write to him at Radio 2, London W1A 1AA.
