This week, Tommy, Hayley, and Duncan take a trip down memory lane – quite literally – as they share the journeys, feelings, and rituals that defined their school days. From lollipop ladies and dangerous subways, to loud singalongs on the 726 bus, each memory paints a vivid picture of growing up.

The conversation wanders into:

School journeys – walking routes, long bus rides, and the feelings of dread vs. freedom

Last days of term – traditions, parties, and the joy of six weeks stretching ahead

Fancy dress adventures – from penguin-like mermaids to toga parties gone wrong

TV nostalgia – The Avengers, The Saint, and why Emma Peel's name really stuck

The magic of newspapers – obituaries, local news gems, and the Sunday Times ritual

Coach trips and turkey-and-tinsel holidays – still alive and well (and full of over-70s)

Plus, Tommy shares a cheeky urban myth involving Little Red Riding Hood, a wolf costume, and a case of mistaken identity at a party.

It's an episode full of stories, nostalgia, and laughter, where the everyday details of the past suddenly feel extraordinary.
