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 5: Nearly 70, Secondary X Factor & You Can’t Say that
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
It’s a birthday episode! Dad officially turns 69, which means the countdown to the big 70 has begun. Lew comes prepared with a very questionable “getting ready for 70” gift bag — including 210 tea bags, Werther’s Originals, a word search book and moisturiser for the increasingly crusty skin. What could possibly go wrong?
Bit of a Natter: Turning 69, getting older, and the advice Dad would give to younger people. From regrets and life lessons to why you shouldn’t put things off while you’re young — it’s surprisingly thoughtful… for about five minutes.
Adam & Eve It: Lew dives into the chaos of secondary school placements, after thousands of Year 6 kids found out where they’re going in September. Why do some children get schools miles away? How does the system even work? And was it really simpler “back in Dad’s day”?
Say It Like Steve: People are too quick to take offence instead of having a conversation. Has the world become too sensitive — or is that just what every older generation says?
The Bleedin’ Dad Joke: Horse jokes, ladders, and a few classics that are either brilliant… or absolutely terrible.
It’s another episode full of generational banter, questionable opinions and plenty of laughs from a father-and-son duo who see the world very differently.
