In the SOS bar this week, Lou and Sally-Anne welcome comedian and one half of the 'Off Menu Podcast', it's Ed Gamble, who by the sounds of it has never gone for a quiet pint in his life, as he seems to have a drinking game for every type of alcoholic beverage invented - NONE of which you should try at home... and we mean that, absolutely NONE of them.

Here they are again, yes Lou and Sally-Anne are back, and helping them to prop up the SOS bar this week is QI Elf and one-quarter of No Such Thing As A Fish - Anna Ptsaszynski! As well as being stuffed full of facts, Anna is also a wealth of amazing tales of drunken debauchery and on hearing this, you'll wish you were her partner in crime on a night out - just don't eat the green sweets!   Hosted on Acast.

After 22 previous episodes, Lou and Sally-Anne decided it was time for a medical and so enlisted Dr Phillip Hammond to talk through how they stay in tiptop health whilst drinking about 4 times the recommended alcohol limit and obviously start asking him about their poo ... Poor Dr Phil.  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Once again, the SOS bar is OPEN and today's guest is the perfect drinking companion, it's comedian Shaparak Khorsani, who started off with all good intentions, but soon let Lou and Sally-Anne degenerate things. Shaparak shares some epic stories of drunken endeavors and also recounts a tale that highlights the disparity between how men and women are viewed when engaging in drunken activity.  Hosted on Acast.

A very mellow time was had by all in the SOS bar, as legendary comic Stewart Lee brings with him a laidback charm, aided and abetted by his choice of whisky and tales of drunken nights past, so pour yourself a dram and come sit by the fire to bathe in the warm glow of boozy stories and the sound of Lou eating pork scratchings (don't worry, we only let her have one).   Hosted on Acast.

The Spit or Swallow bar is well and truly open with this week's guest, who has the power to stop traffic and make a Margherita at the speed of light, it's the one and only Carol Decker! Being the singer of one of the biggest bands of the 80s, our Carol certainly has a tale or two about overindulging in a rock n' roll style and after hearing this, you'll wish you were spending lockdown in the Decker household. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The SOS bar is full to capacity as Sally-Anne and Lou welcome two giants of podcasting and comedy, Rhod Gilbert & Sian Harries from The Froth podcast to sip some fancy red wine and talk about soiling themselves in a hat (only one of them actually did this - which one is your money on?). There are drunken tails a-plenty, some of which are a revelation to their romantic partners...

This week Sally-Ann and Lou are joined by comedian, and impressionist, Josh Berry! Josh is of course the master of voices such as Louis Theroux, James Acaser, and Donald Trump and so gives us an insight as to what some of those A-Listers may sound like whilst drunk. We also get to hear about drinking rituals and initiation ceremonies that go on amongst the students of Oxford University, by the end of the podcast you'll be an alma mater yourself, whilst Lou and Sally-Ann will just be on some kind of list for pervy aunties...

The SOS bar is well and truly open and joining Lou and Sally-Anne from his kitchen was the complete and utter legend Bernie Clifton! As you would expect from such a stalwart of showbiz, there are stories involving some of the most legendary names in the world of entertainment, plus the ostrich joins in with the wine drinking.  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This week's episode is a tonic and not just because the amazing Larry Dean is in the SOS bar, but because he also made Lou and Sally drink that staple of Edinburgh hard-nuts, Buckfast 'wine' ....I mean this drink alone should warn us all that religion and alcohol are NOT good bedfellows. Basically, these guys drank it, so you don't have to  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Sally-Anne and Lou are here again and joining them is the brilliant comedian, Jo Caulfield!

The Spit or Swallow bar is open for business, but apparently other beverages apart from alcoholic ones are available, and get this, you don't HAVE to drink booze in bars! Who knew? Well, this week's guest Jason Manford is well versed in the nuances of ALL the coca colas, so that's what the team get stuck into - but don't worry Jason still has tales a-plenty of misadventures with alcohol, even if some of them aren't his own!  Hosted on Acast.

It's time to swing your pants in the SOS bar, as Sally-Anne and Lou make their childhood dreams come true and get drunk with Trev & Simon! Yes, it's swigging corner, rather than singing corner, as the group drinks some lethal espresso martinis and swap tales of drunken exploits, including the time Trev nearly threw-up on live Saturday morning TV & Simon woke-up on the Isle-of-Wight... Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Welcome to the Spit or Swallow bar, which today is serving its signature meal, courtesy of special guest Rustie Lee! Yes, Sally-Anne and Lou are joined by legendary presenter and TV chef, Rustie Lee!We kick-things-off with how to make a dish created by Rustie especially for the occasion, before moving onto some cringe-worthy tales of youthful drinking, which was enough warning for our guest to limit her alcohol intake from henceforth.

The Spit or Swallow pub is open once more and propping-up the bar this week is TV presenter, Yvette Fielding! Yvette of course was the youngest ever Blue Peter presenter back in the day and by the sounds of it, that time in her life was a real baptism of fire - not least in the introduction of alcohol. As Yvette is of course synonymous with ghost hunting, so it's not only spirits of the liquid variety which get a look in on today's show...As always, this is for adults' ears only - so put your headphones on and pour yourself a double.  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Lou and Sally-Anne are here again ... well Sally-Anne is anyway, Lou, as you'll hear was somewhat 'festive' in this week's episode - not that it was recorded anywhere near Christmas, but it seems the most polite way to say 'completely smashed'.  Luckily, comedian Joe Lycett was on-hand to provide a leveler to proceedings, whilst sharing some drunken tales of his own and introducing some incredibly posh wine to our hosts; one of whom sloshed theirs up the wall .... any guesses as to which one that may have been?  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Sally-Anne and Lou are back and joining them is a guy who is far too nice to have any blind-drunk stories...or is he?

Sally-Anne & Lou are back with another episode of SOS and as always , they are not alone. Joining them for another evening of quaffing and chat is none other than the national treasure known as CHRISTOPHER BIGGINS! It's no surprise to anyone that Biggins chose champagne as this week's beverage - and as it was recorded just before Christmas 2020, it added to the festive atmos - but what will the verdict be on the Lidl fizz our hosts sent to him? Will it be a spit or a swallow?This episode is a delight, so pop a cork and immerse yourself in some delicious showbiz gossip from our esteemed guest; What is Joan Collins' drink of choice?

Lou and Sally-Anne are here again and this week's guest journalist, Ayesha Hazarika is still in festive mode, opting for a tasting session with Bailys Irish Cream, which goes up-against a supermarket's own alternative ... but which one will 'cut the cream'. Ayesha also elevates the show to a regal level, as her MBE status means she has some incredible stories about meeting Prince Charles (not a fan of the Labour Party it turns-out) and going hungry in Buckingham Palace. She also spills the beans about the drinking culture and plethora of (subsidised) bars within Westminster - one of which proves you should never talk to 'Strangers' ... you'll have to listen to the episode to get that joke, but it's good...it works!  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Joining Sally-Anne and Lou for the inaugural Spit or Swallow is comedian, actor and writer NICK HELM! Nick's wine of choice is a fruity affair, which looks achievable for most budgets - but is it any good? Whilst the team swill their glasses, they reminisce about drunken nights of old, including one which gave Nick a scar as a souvenir and another where he really could be described as legless ....just don't offer him a Disaronno.      Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In today's episode comedian TOM ALLEN joins Lou and Sally-Anne for a spot of Rioja and a good old chin wag about those times he's over indulged in the grape juice and we learn that tiny food, such as tapas is not going to help in such circumstances. As you'd expect, Tom manages to bring a certain sophistication to proceedings, but don't worry, Sally-Anne and Lou manage to drag things back down again. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Joining Sally-Anne and Lou in today's episode is the fantastic comedian, SARAH MILLICAN! The ladies have a week-off from the vino, as Sarah herself no longer partakes in the devil's juice, so thought she'd take us on a nostalgia trip and test the various ways one can have a Vimto. Now, while Sarah's abstinence is indeed commendable, our hosts have no intention of joining her and so found various ways of turning this syrupy, soft drink into an adults only beverage - including the classic Cheeky Vimto. But is this a spit or a swallow ... there's only one way to find out...  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
