"Never eat what they send you" - the original. Terry Wogan and Pauly Walters attack the croissants. I won't tell you who'd sent them in... One last little show coming up from me. Let's dedicate it to them. @BBCCornwall @BBCDevon @BBCGuernsey @BBCJersey @BBCRadio2

A very kind mention from @AnthonyMangnal1 in the @HouseofCommons debate about #BBClocalradio today. Lots of good points about news and local democracy, but we must never forget the gift of companionship that local radio offers us, too. 🫡

Eloquent and elegant. A true magician whose love of radio and deep understanding of the relationship with the listener shines through. @DavidTShep is the best of broadcasting; understated, warm, funny and with the listener at the heart of everything. Good luck Shep.
