Those Were The Days When We Used To Work Nights

Bill Nighy navigates listener inquiries with characteristic wit, sharing personal reflections on topics ranging from bird-watching and sleep hygiene to the culinary merits of Bovril. The conversation shifts between lighthearted advice and the playful enforcement of linguistic standards, specifically targeting overused expressions like "reach out" and "early doors." A curated music playlist honors the late actor Pete Postlethwaite, while a dramatic reading from Polly Barton’s novel *What Am I, a Deer?* anchors the literary segment. These interactions blend personal storytelling with candid commentary, revealing idiosyncratic preferences—such as an ideal day in Paris—that provide both entertainment and insight into the host's worldview.
