🥣 It’s your first instalment of the week and if it’s variety you’re after, you’ve come to the right place. Jack has a serious wedding question for Colson and Ben, while Colson has a slightly less serious but equally important wedding question for Jack (it’s soup related).
Plus, where would you have a blue plaque to mark your iconic moments and how much money would you spend on FIFA points? And, will there ever be a Colson’s Conundrum jingle?

🥊 Rocky is what’s on the cards today. But not before an absolute roasting of Colson’s culinary abilities. Crucially we’re not here to talk about frozen good though as the boys dive into the Stallone boxing classic.
Also expect some House of The Dragon chat from what the lads have been watching this week and Tricks of The Trade takes a thespian turn.Â
It’s a jam packed On The Box!

🍾 Colson has all the goss from the other week’s National Television Awards after a big night in London. Who made a mess of themselves? Who crashed the afterparty? Who caused the whole of Corrie to miss the train? He’s willing to divulge answers to varying degrees to sustain his acting career.
Elsewhere a listener asks for first date advice, Jack gets collared while buying a new shower head and, crucially, what biscuit would you be?

🧑🏻‍🦰 Well hello! To settle you into your week, no matter how brilliant or bleak your horizon looks we’ve got loads of fun to perk it up.

🤝 Comfy? We’re back in on a Feel Good / Pants Down / Free For All Friday. It’s all free and easy here as we hear about getting it wrong with one of your heroes and Colson asks who would the dream guests on the show be?
There’s also tales of the violent past from young Ben, who is also sacked(?!) from the Top 5 leading to an interesting reinvention of the feature’s format.
And we have some of *your* emails, comments and thoughts, which is what we love the most.
