That was a totally brilliant episode. It’s good when people finally get over their teenage embarrassment about their parents and realise how much fun and how interesting they can be.
And to echo the sentiments of other blokes here, Olly, you’ve got one hell of a hot mum.

Sorry to be crude, but Karen is a MILF. Olly’s mum has got it going on etc. She looks like a sexy art teacher.
On a less pervy note this was a wonderful episode and all three families were delightful.

Agreed.

Great episode! Congrats on 200! I’ve been listening since 50-60 and enjoyed every one. Any of your families looking to adopt a 30yo American MIcrobiologist? They’re all so lovely.
p.s. I’m paused 3/4 finished to type this but where’s Andy??? Too busy with Cricket or writing puns?

Very nice 200th episode, wouldn’t mind hearing from your families more often. Olly’s family have some amazing stories. May be for mother and fathers day they could chime in. Or any excuse you could find.
Keep up the good work and hoping many more will come our way.

Wonderful episode!! Congrats and here’s to many many more.

Great episode, nice to hear from the families. Also, how adorable are the neicephews?

Wow. Stanley + hair dye + Karen’s mouth = Olly. I think that this is empirically provable with Photoshop. Which is my way of saying I’m too lazy to empirically prove this with Photoshop.

Martin’s father has the most magnificent beard
December 8, 2011 at 1:34 pm |
He certainly does! He’s actually cultivating it longer than usual because he has several Santa gigs coming up…

I loved this episode! Olly, your mum sounds SO lovely – and got the best line of the show: “Why are you looking so horrified, Oliver?”
