  • Is it posh to have owned an Atari?
    Jan 29 2026

    This week on Unlikely Friends, Leigh Francis, Emma Bunton, Jade Jones and Jill Francis kick things off with a surprisingly passionate debate about biscuits, before stumbling into a genuine mystery: a missing bin from the Francis household. Who took it? Why would anyone steal a bin? And what does it say about society?

    After cracking open the pineapple, the conversation turns nostalgic as the group reminisce about computers, old tech and Atari consoles — leading to one very important question: does owning an Atari growing up mean you were posh? From there, it’s a joyful dive into The Big Breakfast, sharing their love for Denise Van Outen and Johnny Vaughan, before landing on an undeniable truth of adulthood: schools should absolutely warn you how long it takes to buy a sofa.

    Just when things couldn’t get more Unlikely Friends, the pineapple gets philosophical — posing questions about “now or then”, familiarity, and the oddly comforting (or unsettling) smell of your own.

    Biscuits, bins, nostalgia and big thoughts — Leigh, Emma, Jade and Jill in another anything-can-happen episode of Unlikely Friends. 🍍

  • EMMA BUNTON'S 50th BIRTHDAY EPISODE!
    Jan 22 2026

    Well this week, it couldn’t be anything else but a dedication to the great Emma Bunton. Leigh Francis has, of course, made her a card, and the studio is decked out with balloons — including a “50” balloon… which must be a mistake, right?

    The pineapple doesn't seem to do birthdays, as it spat out crabs and hotels — and needless to say, good conversation still reigns strong.
