## Resource

Alan and Lee have been on a Royal Visit this week - and they’ve brought back Kate and Wills' favourite champagne. But on a private tour of Horse Guards Parade, what did they actually learn before getting distracted by a very handsome stable hand? Alan’s been sucking on Lee’s bishop… after borrowing his travel chess set for a game of strip chess with Carol Vorderman (naturally). The pair weigh in on Timothée Chalamet’s recent opera comments, and Alan shares the time he took his mum to the opera - only for her to spend the night accosting Rod Stewart. Wine expert Tom Gilbey is back with bottles in hand to chat about his new tour, Tom Gilbey: Absolute Filth, kicking off this September.
