Welcome to another raucous Plonk of the Week with our extra special guest Marilyn Hawes – oh how we laughed! Before the pedants of the day start, Marilyn slightly quieter than the others and so just turn it up a notch! Thank you and enjoy 🥂
Very smart hair cut Mike lovely
You got the lady tipsey lol. Help her out
Great format.love the informal vibe
Brilliant show again but Marilyn is just fabulous! I can imagine her weaving up her garden path some hours later at Xenophobia-on-Sea, singing & making her neighbours twitch! Glorious!! Haircut looks great & love Mr Fizz & Oliver every week.
Suggestion: Xmas special Plonk of the Week – Marylin and Lewis!
Marilyn needed mike.. She is great.
Some Plonk of the Week for me. I bought a bottle of really nice Montecastro Reserva Ribera del Duero from Waitrose yesterday and my goodness what a great wine.
Oh Lordy when he said he was going to take photos of his #$_& before reading the news I just fell about laughing! Keep going Mike! 😂
Great Haircut. You look like a Merchant Banker!!!! Made you look twenty years younger you Yuppie with all that Vino. Good luck for the show and all your endeavours. Respect always. 😎
Wonderful
Shame you didn't have an extra Mike Mike. I didn't catch the name of the book Marilyn was talking about.
Look rather dapper with the new barnet.
Great fun to watch and good company on a Sunday afternoon while the dog is snoring away beside me.
See you in the morning.
Great laugh as always, at least some place to watch and laugh again folks!!
This should become a regular feature every time Mike needs his haircut. Absolutely hilarious.
'Kinell! You look so different without your glasses on!!!
Fantastic show, saved it for my Sunday evening and really enjoyed it.
Watched this afternoon, fantastic Sunday afternoon entertainment, had us in stitches. Mike's hair looks fabulous. All the good people come from Oldham including me 😂. Marilyn was fantastic, the wine guys were excellent too and wow what knowledge and Charlotte did a brilliant job producing. Well done all, brilliant show.🎉
Something for the weekend sir
Just caught up with plonk….so good to laugh out loud 😂….fantastic show, great guests, love Marilyn!..and well done Dan, great haircut…you must keep your hair like this Mike, so much better 👍🏼. Thank you all for keeping us sane ❤
Talk about multi tasking 😅❤
Dan the Barber did an amazing job,considering how much Mike was moving !
Mike was lucky to have 2 ears, and Dan all his fingers……..
Love you Marilyn! ❤😂😊
Ha ha ha love it Mike having a haircut, the old barbers if you moved your head would move your head and tell you to keep still. My husbands ex father inlaw was in a family barbers, he ended up with the shakes and in the end I would not let him clip my hair, he clipped his ear once with scissors.
We lost the show this morning when we watch this in New Zealand it said that the uploader had stopped so now I went on my computer and it worked.
Loving Dans Tshirt 'Heron Addict' 👕 brilliant 😂
This is soooo hilarious I had to watch it again! 😅😅
Thank you everyone for tuning in – What a blast this was on Mike's show… We need more of this in our lives, sharing fun and laughter all together with a few glasses xxx
