Elsewhere, Eshaan urges us to always note down our relatives’ cooking recipes and encourages us to visit the longest sea loch in Scotland.

Would you ever consider bonobo apes to be a wonder of the world? Well, comedian and writer Cally Beaton certainly does, and on today’s show she tells Clive all about them! And no, she didn't choose them solely because of their slightly fruity behaviour...
Cally also makes a strong case for bicycles, ice cream vans and Jeff, her wire-haired dachshund. However Clive couldn’t help but pick comedic legend, Joan Rivers, as Cally’s wonder of wonders after hearing the inspiring role Joan played in Cally's own journey into comedy.

Bilal joins Clive on stage to tell him all about that and choose his seven wonders of the world. Unfortunately, he seems to have picked all the worst things in the world as wonders. We’ll let you decide if cats are included in that category…

Today’s guest claims to be “Big in Scotland”. Despite this, they can’t help but relate basically all their wonders back to their home in Yorkshire. It’s the actor and comedian Kieran Hodgson.
Kieran joins Clive on stage to tell him all about his passion for cycling and cathedrals. He also, rather surprisingly, chooses a British railway line as a wonder of the world and starts teaching Clive all about trees. It turns out Kieran didn’t know that Clive’s President of the Woodland Trust…

Today Clive is joined on stage by the most wonderful, polite and friendly guest, ignoring the football hooliganism and hatred for cyclists of course, it’s the brilliantly funny and critically acclaimed comedian Chloe Petts.
Chloe’s come armed with a range of wonders, some thoughtful, and some less so. We’ll let you decide which category “having a beer before dinner” falls into. Either way, she does such a good job of convincing Clive of her wonders that the two of them are now going to karaoke together. That sounds wonderful.

Today’s guest has a self-proclaimed “wonky mind” which is a wonder of their world. It’s easy to see how it’s a wonder given their 20-plus-year career in comedy, television and radio. They even had a short stint as a professional footballer. It’s Terry Alderton.
Terry joins Clive on stage to tell him all about how he’s made such a successful career for himself despite the fact he left school without being able to read or write. We also hear all about Terry’s passion for double-decker buses and his fond memories of acting opposite Joe Pasquale while they worked together in a theatre in Jersey.
