It's a special birthday episode, with Margaret put on the spot by her husband, and guest, Dan Tetsell.

2023/03/03

Still Game's Sanjeev Kohli is Margaret's guest this week. It's a bit of a tearjerker, looking back at Sanjeev's primary school crushes. As he says - for the first 30 years of his life, all his love was unrequited. Except for his mum. (Life was tough for a Glaswegian metalhead in the 1980s). Sanjeev and Margaret talk about first love, 1980s hedge porn, and running into your old flames at a school reunion.

Rosie is so prone to crushes that she likes to think of them like a trifle - layers of custard, cream, jam and strawberries. But no sponge fingers. We always knew she was a maverick. It's a wide-ranging episode from the deep to the dippy, with Rosie talking about having to overcome internalised homophobia and ableism to feel worth of love, and why she

2023/01/20

Actress, singer, comedian, Twitter star and all round good egg Sooz Kempner is Margaret's guest this week, with crushes that manage to encompass Top Cat and Bruce Forsyth.

For those of a more precise nature (as fans of Sooz's big Crush might be), the correct score is 84%, and not, as stated in the show, a measly
