Cockney & Son
Cockney & Son: Two Generations, One London is what happens when I sit down with my straight-talking, old-school Londoner dad to try and make sense of the world we’re living in today.
From parenting and politics to prices and pronouns, nothing’s off-limits — and trust me, nothing gets sugar-coated. We see life through two very different lenses, but it’s all grounded in laughs, honest opinions, and the kind of unfiltered banter only a father and son can get away with.
Whether you remember phone boxes or need subtitles when he starts chatting, this one’s for you.

Episode 2: Be My Valentine (but I’m only buying you a card)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Love is in the air… and so is the pressure. In this Valentine’s Special of Cockney & Son, Lew and Steve take a proper look at how the big day has changed from the 60s and 70s to now — from anonymous cards through the letterbox to panic-buying gifts, packed restaurants and sky-high expectations.
They chat about secret admirers, the rise of commercialised romance, and whether love should really be proven with expensive jewellery or just a simple card and a bunch of flowers. Steve shares his old-school take on relationships, gives advice to the younger generation, and explains why showing love all year round matters more than one day in February.
There’s also a Valentine’s edition of Adam & Eve It, a classic “Say It Like Steve” moment on people confusing being busy with being important, and a round of Bleedin’ Dad Jokes guaranteed to make you laugh… or groan.
Expect nostalgia, honest opinions, a few cheeky stories, and plenty of proper London banter.
Cockney & Son – Two generations. One London. Real talk, real laughs, every week.
