A listener called Charlotte had Jo and Zoe in stitches on Dig It with her confession that her family had innocently called her grandmother "Granny Pussy" for years, purely because she owned lots of cats, until her teenage sister suddenly clocked the connotation. Zoe couldn't help comparing it to the Are You Being Served character, joking "Has anyone seen my pussy?" in tribute to Mrs Slocombe. More grandparent nicknames followed, including Wendy's family term "Granny Grissel" from Northamptonshire and Karen's grandson's accidental rebrand of his grandparents as "Fanny and Fanda" because he can't pronounce his G's.
The warmest moment came when an anonymous listener, a landscape architect and garden designer, wrote in offering to help Freya, a previous caller going through a separation, turn her new smaller garden into a sanctuary. Jo called it proof of "the digging community" connecting listeners to help each other, and the pair promised to update listeners on how the project goes.
Elsewhere the hosts shared their midlife gripes, from Zoe's fury at cyclists ignoring red lights and riding the wrong way down one-way streets, to Jo's confession that she now judges people's table manners while watching The Traitors. They also swapped memories of traditional Sunday roasts and the melancholy theme tunes of Antiques Roadshow and Songs of Praise, before discussing listener Tammy's dilemma about whether to keep doing her university-age son's laundry.
