While at times completely derailed by the appearance of real live oysters, accompanied by Camilla and Tim from Rockefeller Oyster Bar, the show also manages to include an interview with the lovely Beth Orton; political commentary with Jennifer Curtin; crate dives from Troy and the folk at Southbound; some drooling from Producer Sarah and some swearing from Top Ten Pearl. It's a corker.
