I'm sure they'll correct it but right now, the fact that when you google Andrew Mountbatten Windsor, it describes him as a "Member of the Mountbatten-Windsor", singular, is spot-on.

To make up for the lack of video, here's one from last week where we had our Political Editor Chris Builder (@garethgwynn.bsky.social) on the show to report back on the Reform UK conference - or at least, what he could remember about it.

In 1923, the station director of 5WA, the first ever BBC radio station in Wales, was sacked less than 48 hours after the inaugural broadcast for being drunk in his office.
Ok folks: what is your favorite fact that you share with people (maybe a bit too) eagerly?
