Hello, and welcome from me, Ashley Haywood, to this week's Outlook, which is being recorded on Wednesday, the seventh of October, twenty twenty-six.

Today, we'll be visiting Wellesbourne and the Phil Silvers Museum, which surprisingly can be found in Gosford Street.

We'll hear about Dame Mary Beard and some talented keyboard players, as well as how Coventry has been affected by the plague over the years.

Finally, we learn about a pub in Surrey that offers a very unusual treat for its customers.

Is there a secret to a long marriage? Don't worry too much about the past or the future.

Just make the best of today.

And now here's Dave to report on the Phil Silvers Archival Museum in Fargo Village Farm in Gosford Street.

Myself and Elizabeth of the Monday Club, we are in Fargo Village in Gosford Street, and this is the Phil Silvers Archival Museum.

Look at that.

Look at my memory kicking in.

Ask me what show he was on.

What show was Phil Silvers on?

I don't know, I'm not a witch, but he had the Phil Silvers Show.

He sure did.
