For centuries, members of the B’doul Bedouin tribe lived in the caves around the ancient city of Petra, Jordan. Then, in the 1980s, the government forced the tribe to move in the name of preserving the geological site for tourists. But if the residents are forced to leave, and if their heritage has been permanently changed, then what exactly is being preserved?

Now, Where Were We? with Barry Cryer and Bob Cryer explicit

Series home•Feed

Now, Where Were We? is the show that Barry Cryer has been waiting 86 years to make!

Alongside his son, actor and writer Bob Cryer, Barry's booked a room at a favourite London pub, called up a bunch of famous pals he's not seen since lockdown began, and he's invited them down for a pint and a proper catch-up. This is Barry at his storytelling best, in his natural habitat, doing what he’s done for decades: making us laugh.

There is some very explicit language used in punchlines from time to time, but Barry's nearly 90, so it's sort of delightful, isn't it?

Sanjeev Bhaskar: Schrödinger's Dog 59:23

The brilliant Sanjeev Bhaskar joins Barry and Bob for a delicious pint and an equally nourishing chat. Warning: there is some very strong language used sparingly, but nothing you won't have heard before, and it's all in the context of punchlines. By the way, in the heat of the moment, Sanjeev said that Bart Simpson's catchphrase was "kiss my shorts," but he wanted us to let you know it's actually "eat my shorts". No need to write in if you're someone who prides themselves on pedanticism (copyright, David Nobbs).
