All About The Doubt

( Reassuring, honest and humorous )

So here we are at the end of another season and this one has flown by!

We've loved every moment ( well nearly every moment ) because let's be honest here, lockdown hasn't helped has it.

However, we committed and we delivered and so in this episode we thought it would be nice to reflect back on the last 2 Seasons ( 24 Espisodes) 

We head right back to where it all started, we thank all of our guests, we look back at some of the serious topics we have covered and we salute the enigma that is the ever present and much loved Mr Whitfield.

We also treat treat you to some of our favourite out takes, we hear all about double yoke eggs and a very well travelled cat and of course, the cookie monster makes a surprising experience!

All this in an hour? Yup. Enjoy!

Thank you for sticking with us and your support over these 2 seasons. We are taking a short break now but will be back again soon!

In this very colourful, imaginative, and heartwarming episode, we also meet Marzipan the Hamster and Ella ( she's half girl half shark! )

We also give away yet another mug, , there's some revealing news in the Very Very Very Very Important News section and as for Mr Whitfield......well.....it's probably best you find out the rest for yourself:
