Thanks for that - will dial in - Assume same format as when Johnson did the earlier shows on his own

Watched the first thirty minutes this morning and it's quite fun;  if you can get past the appearance Knopfler seems unable to walk properly anymore...

Who knew Tom Jones was a good chat?

Agree - Sadly Mark looks in a bad way
Tom was excellent and still has a great voice

Watched the 1st show last night with Tom - Great character with many stories to tell - Watched this show since it started and like Brian - Not so sure why he needed to brink MK into the mix - I like Mark, but to be truthful he brings little to the show - He is just to quite, maybe laid back and/or even dull in such a 'chat' show - Sadly, as mentioned above, he doesn't look to healthy

MK should just come clean about his health and be a voice for others suffering his condition.

I haven't seen the show but heard Knopfler being interviewed on the radio a couple of weeks ago.  Nice humble man, but I was taken aback by how "old" he sounded.  What condition do you think he has?

Watched part 2 last night with Sam Fender - Without knowing much about him I liked him - Yes I've heard the singles - Seen a few video clips but can hardly say I know about him - Knew he could play and he is currently hot property

He came across very well and interesting - MK put a better shift in this time, compared to the Tom Jones show - 3 Geordies together and the show was good - Next up is Cindi Lauper

I’ve only watched the Cyndi lauper one and I thought what was the point of Brian!  Cyndi was really entertaining and had lots of interesting stories and points of view.
