...the one where Paul played with a balloon...

BBC Radio 2 - Paul O'Grady, ...the one where Paul played with a balloon...

The only wireless show to feature balloon sucking, a talking chicken and 'turf memories'.

Helping to brighten up another dull Sunday in January, this week Paul's show featured a talking chicken, a 'classic' song from Dollar and 'Please Sir!' as the Lost TV Theme.

There are not many shows on the wireless that feature balloon sucking - actually, is there any? - but you won't be in the slightest bit surprised to hear Paul's is one of them. But there was much more to this week's show than balloon fun - Mr O'Grady also reminisced about dying his hair and dancing in the kitchen, while listener Maggie shared her turf memories.

All Star Triples this week came from Vikki Carr and T-Rex, the Lost TV Theme was 'Please Sir!' and 1995 featured as the Mystery Year.

Amazing music. Played by an amazing line up.
