Let's celebrate the return of Doctors Buckles and Sexy with a lovely illustration from the rather talented . Look out for a new Black Squadron logo from James on Saturday!

As you may know, Joe and I have announced that we're starting a 12 week run of shows on 6 Music from Saturday 2nd April (2011) in our usual slot (10am - 1pm). I'm mainly nervous that the chest infection I've had for the last few weeks (the stubborn legacy of my Christmas stint of illin') will mean that every time I laugh listeners will be treated to a wheez that sounds like a tramp trying to start a car that he and his tramp friends have just hauled from a pond. The doc (not Dr Sexy sadly) gave me some Amoxycillin yesterday so I'm sure that'll clear it right up in no time (is my pro-biotic sarcasm dripping through OK?) Even if it halts the wheezing by the time I'm back on the radio there may be evidence of lightheadedness, insomnia, confusion, anxiety, sensitivity to lights and sounds, and unclear thinking. A normal show in other words! Ha ha ha.

Speaking of the show, we are in the process of completely reinventing the entire programme. There'll be 10 guests every hour, all of them plugging their new book/CD/TV show/film/charity exercise/unhinged philosophy, and every interview we conduct with them will leave you confused and depressed. In between interviews there'll be a lot of music by Bruno Mars who is also providing us with new jingles and a new theme song. Features like Text The Nation and Made Up Jokes are to be replaced with new interactive features like Where You Callin'? wherein people tell us where they are calling from then hang up, and Weather Whot, which gives callers an opportunity to tell us very briefly about the weather where they are (I thought of this and I think it's a good one).

Ìý

We'll also have of a lot of stuff about Charlie Sheen. There'll be regular 'Sheenews' updates, 'Winning!' mashups and Charlie jingles along with a lot of Sheen based humour and banter. Joe wasn't really up for this stuff but I forced it through and I think it's a winner because everyone is focused on Charlie right now and you need to give people what they want if they don't realise they want it or don't need it or even really want it.

Needless to say I can't wait to be back. I've missed doing the show a lot. On a serious note (not that the other stuff about all our new features wasn't serious of course) Joe and I are both heavily indebted to Andrew Collins & Richard Herring who stepped in for us all those months ago then ended up making our lovely warm slot their own despite not really knowing how temporary or not the arrangement was, quite an enervating position to be in I'll warrant. I don't imagine for a second our 3 month return spells the end of the line on 6 for them, but anyway, wanted to say thanks.

In the meantime, you can help us with our first show back by getting in touch with any personal anecdotes you may have accrued in the last 15 months(!) since we've been away. I know that's a bit vague but if your message is sufficiently interesting we will almost certainly fit it in to a special edition of 'Annecdotties' between the Charlie Sheen stuff and whichever Bruno Mars songs we're playing.

Here's what Adam had to say about the matter:

"I can't wait to get back to our show on Saturdays, I've really missed doing it. Not that I haven't been every bit as busy as Joe. I've created several new filing systems for my CD's and DVD's, successfully reunited over 20 odd socks with their partners and learned to understand the language of ants (though I'm finding Decs more of a problem). It's been fun but I'm looking forward to talking rubbish and playing brilliant music with Joe again."
