Clare Grogan

If you've just missed the programme, or not unreasonably, you want to hear it all again, this edition of Loose Sense, together with our extensive back catalogue, is available at, you guessed it, BBC Sounds.

Including alternate images Claire Grogan singing Happy Birthday to Janet Street Porter, and slow horses Christopher Chung on viewers thinking he really is his character, the rather unpleasant Roddy Ho.

And if you'd like to be in the audience for Loose Ends when we're live, yes, we're at the Contains Strong Language Festival in Salford, Saturday 26th September, with guests John Cooper-Clark, Jackie Kay and Anthony Schmerich.

Tickets are free, available from bbc.co.uk slash containsstronglanguage.

I'm embarrassed that it's about me.

I feel like all those people that might have had their first dance at their wedding, finding out years later that I was involved in it, and then thinking, oh no, that really annoying Clare Grogan.

it just it just put me in a position of sort of like blushing almost you know and you know I've often said this before I knew it wasn't about me and I used to tease Stephen a little bit my husband and say listen just remember I have found one of the greatest love songs ever but I had no clue that I had I really didn't I just used to wind him up with it because I used to hang out with Gary a lot during that point in his career and then when I found out it was actually true I was like oh no this is so embarrassing

Claire Drogon, thank you very much.

Well, I think there were two actresses in it.

One was Claire Grogan.

That's the one I'm thinking of.

But I don't think she played Gregory's girl.

In

Gregory's girl, no. Gregory was a Partick Thistle fan, which again I thought was right.

it somehow felt right claire grogan was a proper football fan did you know that we had her as a guest on the thing i used to do called the wide awake club and i was sitting having breakfast with her and everybody else and i just said to her so what are you doing the rest of the day because we we were on the air came off the air at half past nine in the morning so you had the whole of your saturday ahead of you and she said oh i'm gonna go and watch chelsea I said, oh, that's nice.

I said, what, is there a gang of you or something? No, she said, I go on my own.
