In the week that James opens with some advice for people looking to choose a new car, he’s umming and erring on the side of caution.
Ben’s new feature might be endorsed by the eating disorder charity ‘Beat’*, but James isn’t too happy with the subject matter.
*No, it isn’t!
Ben struggles for a highlight but goes into a lot of detail about window frames.
Big Brother is ending. Yay!
But not for another year. Boo!
X-Factor has started again. James is excited. Ben isn’t watching it.
James gets to call someone else gay for a change. He does it in a very butch manner, but then debates the size of Mr Blackpool’s organ.
Milkshake brings all the kids (and James) to the Hippodrome.
There’s also some debate about how the song “heads, shoulders, knees and toes” might go.
Ben develops an odd speech impediment before the show is finished. Luckily he hasn’t kept it since.
