Jo Whiley and Zoe Ball used their Q&A hour to reflect on ageing, family friction and watery mayhem — but the biggest bit of housekeeping came at the very end, when they revealed Dig It is shifting its release day. "We will talk to you again on Thursday because that's what we do now," Zoe explained, adding they're happy to be "starting your weekend on Thursdays" from here on.
Elsewhere, a listener's question about Vernon Kay's viral first-glasses video sparked a candid chat about the indignity of ageing eyesight, with both hosts admitting to years of denial before finally accepting their specs. Jo confessed she still apologises to guests for wearing hers, while Zoe revealed she sometimes forgets she's got a pair on until she checks her face in bed.
A listener named Rachel asked for advice after her adult children drifted apart, prompting Jo to offer some reassurance: "Trust me, there are frictions within every family dynamic." Zoe agreed, sharing her own experience of siblings growing apart before reconnecting.
The funniest moment came via a listener's Centre Parcs story, which set Zoe off on a rant about modern rapids etiquette, complaining that teenage lifeguards now enforce "feet first only" rules. "Times have changed, I don't like this," she groaned, lamenting the loss of chaotic, any-way-you-like rapids runs from decades past.
The pair closed with warm, practical garden advice for a listener going through separation, encouraging pots, swings and cosy seating to turn a small courtyard into a family sanctuary.
