Roll up, roll up for a trip back to the days of travelling circuses, school fêtes, seaside amusements and all the wonderfully odd traditions we grew up with.

This week, Tommy, Duncan and Hayley reminisce about giant striped circus tents appearing overnight, the smell of sawdust and candy floss, terrifying clowns, prize goldfish, and the excitement of winning a giant cuddly toy that your long-suffering parents then had to carry home.

The conversation wanders through school tombolas, teachers in the stocks, smashing crockery for fun, opening fêtes as minor celebrities, greyhound racing, vintage train buffet cars and even the surprising world of maggot racing. Along the way, the team debate whether circuses were magical or just slightly disappointing, and share some wonderfully nostalgic memories of Britain's great days out.

A cheerful mix of laughter, nostalgia and gloriously rambling stories from a bygone age.
