Why did you buy me that?

Paddy McGuinness

Available for 14 days

Paddy's live from Salford celebrating Mother's Day and talking about gift etiquette. Plus, The Weekest Link quiz, Paddy's Timewarp and your Sunday Dinners. He’ll play The Weekest Link, the quiz that tests whether you’ve been paying attention for the previous 7 days, and is in no way affiliated with the BBC One hit quiz The Weakest Link. If you want to take part e-mail paddym@bbc.co.uk In Paddy's Sunday Dinner, he'll be asking for the finer details of your dinner plate, whether it's a roast with the family, a BBQ with the neighbours or lunch with your work pals. Whatever's on your plate, Paddy wants to know about it. There’ll be great music and plenty of laughs, and Paddy wants to hear from you. E-mail paddym@bbc.co.uk or WhatsApp 08000 288 291 during the show. To listen on most smart speakers, just say “ask BBC Sounds to play Paddy McGuinness". Produced by Audio Always in Salford for BBC Radio 2.
