Episode description

The world became a less funny place when it lost the comedy genius of Tony Slattery in January 2025. He is deeply missed - especially by his friend of 41 years, Helen Lederer. This is another chance to rejoice in their friendship that dealt with everything including - literally - the kitchen sink. Why did he send her bouquet saying 'whoops'? Why did she ask everyone at her party for Germolene? Why did they play tennis on a hotel roof in Egypt? And who actually dropped the vase on Going for A Song?


Helen is currently playing Mrs Richards in the West End production of John Cleese's Fawlty Towers. Find out more and book here - https://fawltytowerswestend.com/#
