Now, Where Were We? with Barry Cryer and Bob Cryer

About Now, Where Were We? with Barry Cryer and Bob Cryer

Now, Where Were We? is the show that Barry Cryer has been waiting 86 years to make! Alongside his son, actor and writer Bob Cryer, Barry's booked a room at a favourite London pub, called up a bunch of famous pals he's not seen since lockdown began, and he's invited them down for a pint and a proper catch-up. This is Barry at his storytelling best, in his natural habitat, doing what he’s done for decades: making us laugh. There is some very explicit language used in punchlines from time to time, but Barry's nearly 90, so it's sort of delightful, isn't it? Hosted on Acast.

   Sanjeev Bhaskar: Schrödinger's Dog

   The brilliant Sanjeev Bhaskar joins Barry and Bob for a delicious pint and an equally nourishing chat. Warning: there is some very strong language used sparingly, but nothing you won't have heard before, and it's all in the context of punchlines. By the way, in the heat of the moment, Sanjeev said that Bart Simpson's catchphrase was "kiss my shorts," but he wanted us to let you know it's actually "eat my shorts". No need to write in if you're someone who prides themselves on pedanticism (copyright, David Nobbs).
