A delightful selection on the house today for comic Elliot Steel is propping up the bar building his dream pub. For the first time (as far as our memories serve) that the progeny of a former guest has made their way into the Moon Under Water. Mark Steel passes the pub baton on to his son.

And keep an ear out, for the first time ever,...

He’s touring the UK now so check out his website to see him soon! If...

Plus, a listener questions Dan's memory, and Robbie discusses getting the train from Slough to Norwich. Do you want to send a message to the Landlord?
