Father’s Day turns into a proper test of family memory when we flip the script and Hannah brings a surprise, three-part plan built around past, present and future. Davey turns up with no idea what’s coming, and we start with the real stuff: a health update on suspected endometriosis, getting onto a waiting list for diagnostic surgery, and the strange mix of nerves and relief that comes with finally being heard. It is personal, frank, and exactly the kind of conversation a father and daughter do not always make time for.

Then we swing into the present with the everyday moments that make this father daughter podcast feel like a living scrapbook: Mexican Train dominoes in the garden as the rain starts, a last-minute dash to London for Hadestown, and the undeniable truth that late nights hit differently now. From there, nostalgia takes over with McFly memories, a signed poster, and a surprisingly thoughtful detour into what happens when memorabilia stops feeling harmless, including the moral question of what to do with items linked to people who later caused harm.

The heart of part one is a playful quiz on how well Davey remembers Hannah’s childhood. We bounce through favourite toys, The Simpsons at 6 pm, Disney comfort watches, picky eating shaped by money worries, school trips, and the chaos of Birds Cottage, including a vomit-in-the-face story and a glow stick emergency that still makes us wince. We finish with the final score and a Father’s Day sign-off that is warm, silly, and honest.

If you enjoy family storytelling, British humour, and the kind of nostalgia that actually means something, hit follow, share the podcast with someone who’d love it, and leave us a review.
