BBC Radio 2 - Paul O'Grady, ...the one where Paul reminisced about a cross-eyed lion

Another great show, before Paul took Elsie out for an ice cream...

The Lost TV Theme was from American children's drama Daktari, All-Star Triples featured Cher and Shakin' Stevens and there was another Cocktail Hour.

This week Paul had a moan (there's a surprise) about the fact that he wasn't invited to any of Michael Buble's three weddings... And he got Arthur mixed up with Alfie and Albert, but you had to be there at the start of the show to understand that!

Jools' Jewels' returned with a song by The Blind Boys of Alabama, and this week's cocktail was a Tamarind Margarita, and was accompanied by 'A Banda' by The Torero Band.

The two All-Star Triples came courtesy of Cher and Shakin' Stevens, and the Lost TV Theme was from the American children's drama that began in 1966, 'Daktari', which featured Clarence, the Cross-Eyed Lion and a chimpanzee called Judy.

Amazing music. Played by an amazing line up.
