Friday Night Live with David and Sue

It’s a pretty straightforward show, this one.
David and Sue basically behave.
Most listeners stick with the theme – apart for requests for a banned song. Naughty!
Which song has the most names? Which listener has the coincidence name?
David and Sue don’t feature in the answers to those questions!

But will Sue love or hate David after this show?
A banned song gets requested and played. Oh no!
But David gives some publicity to International Women’s Day on 8 March.
Will that be enough to redeem himself?

….. but mostly worms – because Sue ate one in her salad!
David and Sue swap roles for the first quarter of the show.
A lot was said about panelling, not so much about David reading the messages.

The post FNL – Favourite Music Videos appeared first on Friday Night LIVE with David and Sue.

Strange theme, not as macabre as you might think.
Music choices range broadly.
Sue is “back to school” grumpy so parades all her issues.
David makes fun of her, as does Geoffrey who’s in the studio for this one.
There’s a running obsession with exclamation marks!
Your podcaster has no right to judge – she uses way too many of them!!!!!

And our favourite duet is, of course David and Sue!
Off to a flying start, being their usual selves …

Get emotional. Just like David and Sue.
Sue certainly had an eventful day … and the emotions to go with it.
David had emotions as well, tho’ one predominated – hilarity at Sue’s various predicaments.
Great show this …. although it is acceptable to fast forward through the worst version of Time After Time. Just sayin’

David welcomes Sue back to the microphone. Still unwell, Sue certainly does work hard for the money …

1. Whose voice would you choose on your GPS?
