Down The Line Lockdown Special

Thanks for recommending this, I hadn't heard it before. Grabbed them all on a torrent and I'm working my way through.
I love how fast moving it is. It'd be just as good with longer calls but it really works having the regulars, you building up a bigger picture of them over the course of the series and the odd hit and run one offs.
Great to hear Whitehouses fat lad character again. He felt so real and I'd missed him since "help" was sadly cut short. Am I confusing that with something else? Was that character in that?

Shoulders?-Stomach!

Listened again and the best thing really is Thomas' delivery of stay safe. That beat before the line is delivered and the mechanical yet confused sounding delivery. It is really really good performance of someone copying something out of a sense of obligation but not quite understanding why.

Yeah OK, go on then: https://www.dropbox.com/s/992ee8hdcqv2bd2/Down%20the%20Line%20-%20Down%20The%20Line%20-%20Sounds%20Exclusive.m4a?dl=0

Sorry to post on here when it's been quiet for 6 months, but stumbled across this post when I realised I'd missed the lockdown specials somehow! Your link still worked for the extra episode which I'm very grateful for, but unfortunately the broadcast episode is no longer available on BBC Sounds or iPlayer... does anyone have a link for it at all?

Thanks for any help, I'm guessing it's not something they'll repeat at this point.

Absolutely amazing, thank you so much! Really very grateful, that's made my weekend!

Wikipedia lists a tribute to Felix Dexter in the episode list - anyone have that?  I'd love to hear people saying nice things about him.

I haven't heard/got it - I had assumed that it was a compilation episode featuring his callers rather than a eulogy, but I could be totally wrong.

The iPlayer ID for it is here anyway: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b03mjp26

Apologies for bumping this, but could anyone be kind enough to reupload the lockdown episode? The old link expired and I only just found out that this episode existed. Thanks!

Don't apologise, I admire the restraint

Does anyone have the original lockdown special handy (not the Sounds extra one)? Thanks if so!
