Speaker 1· Soundbite0:00

[singing] Frank Skinner's Radio Days. It could go one of two ways So, um, I watched the, uh, the Winter Olympics opening ceremony.

Emily Dean· Host0:12

Oh, me too.

Frank Skinner· Host0:13

What do you think?

Emily Dean· Host0:14

Well, there's a lot to discuss. Did you watch it, Alan?

Alun Cochrane· Host0:17

I didn't watch it, no.

Emily Dean· Host0:18

What's wrong with you?

Frank Skinner· Host0:19

Can I, can I say general- Nothing for the, uh- ... general overview ...

Alun Cochrane· Host0:22

winter sports ...

Frank Skinner· Host0:22

better than the opening ceremony of the Summer Olympics in London.

Emily Dean· Host0:26

No, it's not.

Alun Cochrane· Host0:26

More expensive.

Frank Skinner· Host0:27

I thought it was better.

Emily Dean· Host0:28

Why?

Alun Cochrane· Host0:29

It's the most expensive Olympics ever.

Emily Dean· Host0:30

Because you're obsessed by Russians.

Frank Skinner· Host0:32

No, the dancing was better.

Alun Cochrane· Host0:33

Was it on ice?

Emily Dean· Host0:34

The dancing?

Frank Skinner· Host0:35

There was a- Was it on ice? Some of it was on ice.

Emily Dean· Host0:38

So is ballet.

Frank Skinner· Host0:39

You know, a bit like that.

Alun Cochrane· Host0:39

It ought to be, really. They shouldn't be allowed on any firm surface, I don't think, if it's the Winter Olympics.

Emily Dean· Host0:44

What about when the man from the Austrian delegation fell over? That was awful.

Frank Skinner· Host0:47

Did someone fall over? Oh, I wish I'd watched it now.

Emily Dean· Host0:49

You know when they're all coming in, they're all coming in and, um, representing their teams.

Frank Skinner· Host0:53

Oh.

Emily Dean· Host0:53

One of the Austrians fell over.

Alun Cochrane· Host0:54

See, that upsets me that I didn't watch it now.

Emily Dean· Host0:57

Oh.

Alun Cochrane· Host0:57

I, I didn't watch it 'cause I thought they'd all be really good at slipping. I've got- [laughs] I have problems with winter sports 'cause it's basically all versions of slipping, isn't it? It's like- No, but it worked ... skiing slipping, snowboarding slipping.

Frank Skinner· Host1:07

It worked though because as I've said before, there are certain countries which I call the Danny Minogue countries- Yeah ... which are the countries that are, that they are the less, um, the less famous sister of another country.

Emily Dean· Host1:17

Yeah.

Frank Skinner· Host1:18

And Austria, obviously Kylie is Germany.

Alun Cochrane· Host1:20

Yeah.

Frank Skinner· Host1:21

Alun Cochrane· Host1:22

Mm-hmm.

Frank Skinner· Host1:23

So if one of those guys slip over, it's sort of, "Oh."

Alun Cochrane· Host1:26

Mm-hmm.

Frank Skinner· Host1:27

But if it had been a German, you'd have thought, "Yeah, well, that serves you right,
