Thank God We Didn't Bring Peter!

Liza celebrates language in all its evolutionary beauty, as listeners share phrases that are particular to their social group, or locale.

Liza celebrates language in all its evolutionary beauty, as listeners share phrases that are particular to their social group, or locale. From niche conversational exit lines, to the idiosyncratic review of a play that has become shorthand for more general disappointment.

There are further tales of lettuces being deployed as missiles, but pigeons are swooping in on the action, and a buzzard is riding shotgun in the Cotswolds.

And the playlist is dancing through the decades, from the dreamy pairing of Ella and Louis, to a Betty Wright tune composed by Sam Cooke, a 70s hit that gets scaffolders singing, as well as Shannon, Mark Morrison and Spanky Wilson.
