This is the BBC.

Well, I've got to start. I've got a lockdown life to lead.

Welcome to this socially distant podcast inspired by the Graham Norton Radio Show on BBC Radio 2.

Coming up in this edition, I chat to the singer-songwriter Elvis Costello.

I discuss witches, of course, with author slash actor slash witch, Samantha Giles,

and I talk to dancer and I trust she's done other things in her life, Dame Darcy Bustle. Plus,

there's Grill Graham, and the problems in this episode can be summed up by the words,

A Long-Term Loss and on my own. Enjoy.

Graham Lawton.

Well now, Maria McCurlin is here.

How do I find you today? You sound a bit throaty.

I am a little bit throaty. I don't know why. It's nothing serious. Don't worry everybody, but it's just a little bit.

A little bit, yes. I think we're in this or something.

I suppose to you during the week and I think it's probably that you've embraced clean living.

When you embrace clean living, I think that's when you often fall apart. Not you, anyone.

What makes you think I've embraced clean living? Because you told me.

Oh, did it? Yeah. Yes. Oh, was that a lie?

I don't know.

I don't know what that entails.

I'm always clean, Graham.

You know that.

Except this week, you know what?
