John's Birthday, Caerphilly Castle, Incontinence and A Doll's House

Show broadcast on 4 May 2014

Welcome along to the best bits from comedian John Robins and sell-out Elis James. Only joking, but Elis does have news of an exciting advertising role he's taken on. There's the regular Winner Plays On, Textual Healing and Sacred Cow - will John survive nominating a quarter-Beatle for the abattoir? Plus we've got a variety of practical joke stories, some more terrifying than others, and most importantly Elis wishes Happy Birthday (Penblwydd Hapus) to John - he's a lucky guy.
