S10 EP9: Leigh Francis

Leigh Francis joins Captain Carr for an Alan Air flight packed with wild stories, nostalgic throwbacks and plenty of unexpected turns. Leigh chats about his podcast Unlikely Friends with his wife Jill, Emma Bunton, and her husband Jade Jones, how they met, what gets cut out, and why Jill's a better human than he is. Alan reminds Leigh of the time he didn't know who Adele was at a party, owning Michael Hutchence's clothes, and his love of Florida and Disney. Plus: retro gaming, crocodiles in the wild, and bum lips. Fasten your seatbelts for some turbulence and proper belly laughs.  00:00 Taking off01:00 Wearing Michael Hutchence’s clothes02:00 Age, gym chat & dad bods 04:00 Leigh’s handmade clothes & creative obsession05:00 Met Gala outfit: Spider-Man suit problems06:00 “Adele who?” party moment 07:00 Celebrity Juice outfits & Halloween chaos08:30 Being recognised (and mocked) in public10:00 Alan’s “Traitors face” explained 11:00 The most inappropriate fan encounter EVER 12:30 Jeff Goldblum in a lift & prosthetics regret13:00 20-year friendship with Emma Bunton14:00 Caravan holidays nostalgia16:00 The BRITs, Adele & celebrity chaos18:00 Atari, Tetris addiction & retro gaming19:30 The “comfort croissant” fidget toy 20:50 Pitching “American Were-MILF in London” 22:00 Leigh’s film ideas (vampires vs werewolves)24:00 Viking show ideas & writing projects25:20 Holidays disaster: piles in Egypt 27:00 Wisdom teeth horror stories29:00 Florida, Disney & holiday routines30:30 Crocodile encounter in Florida 31:10 Leigh sat on a crocodile (?!)32:00 Crying at bullfighting in Mexico & breaking character33:00 Quickfire round chaos34:20 White socks debate & landing #LifesABeach #AlanCarr #LeighFrancis #KeithLemon #CelebrityJuice #FunnyPodcast #ComedyPodcast #BritishComedy #PodcastClips #Adele #DisneyWorld #FloridaHolidays #UKComedy #Chaos #FunnyMoments Learn more about your ad choices.

Jeff Goldblum boards Alan Air for one of the most gloriously unpredictable flights yet. From Old Hollywood legends and Mulholland Drive nightmares to pickles, sandwiches and impromptu singing, Jeff goes full Goldblum - charming, curious and wonderfully maverick. They talk about his new album Night Blooms, touring with orchestras around the world, and the timeless magic of jazz standards. Along the way there’s Sharon Stone, Billie Holiday, a surprising Bloody Mary debate… and Alan pitches Jeff a brand-new horror film: An American Were-MILF in London. Expect name-dropping, movie love, musical nostalgia and one very enthusiastic conversation about pickles.  00:00 Intro  00:18 Jeff Goldblum boards Alan Air  01:14 The Windmills of Your Mind & The Thomas Crown Affair  01:59 Jeff’s frozen yoghurt meeting with Faye Dunaway  03:29 Crisps, pickles and snack food debates  05:30 Jeff Goldblum's favourite sandwiches  05:58 The “Bloody Alan” cocktail  07:30 Jeff’s love of Lauren Hutton and gabby teeth  10:12 Horoscopes, science and star signs  11:41 Jeff’s new album Night Blooms  12:59 Jeff and Alan singing classics like Misty and Bewitched  13:37 Nosferatu, horror films and Alan’s Were-MILF pitch  15:03 Jeff agrees to star in Alan’s movie  16:23 Touring the UK, Royal Albert Hall and Sydney Opera House  17:41 What happens at a Jeff Goldblum live show  19:41 Touring food: fish & chips and British roasts  20:29 Jeff’s favourite drink: the Virgin Mary  21:14 Time machines, classic films and Total Recall  23:34 Sharon Stone, Casino and Scorsese movies  24:48 Old Hollywood, Chateau Marmont and Hollywood history  27:21 Mulholland Drive and David Lynch  29:15 Alan’s middle name reveal  30:31 Quick-fire round  33:39 Final descent  #LifesABeach #AlanCarr #JeffGoldblum #Podcast #TravelPodcast #NightBlooms #Jazz #ClassicHollywood #MovieLegends #CelebrityPodcast #MulhollandDrive #OldHollywood #RoyalAlbertHall #ComedyPodcast #v2 Learn more about your ad choices.
