The Joys and Challenges of Fatherhood

Former Blue Peter presenter and dad of toddler twins Tim Vincent hosts this comedy discussion programme, featuring regular panellists and comedians Mick Ferry and Russell Kane.

In this episode, talk turns to relationships and how they can change during the course of fatherhood. Has anyone lost friends as a result of not being able to go out more often? Did having a child have an impact on relationships with their partners? And how does the relationship between them and their children change as they both get older.

Along the way, The Likely Dads discuss the rise and usefulness of dads groups, how to get your love life back on track, and what a “poonami” is.

Special guests joining Tim, Mick and Russell this time - Errol Murray, the founder of the Leeds Dads parenting group, and Derrick Evans, known to the public as health and fitness guru Mr Motivator. Everybody say Yeah!
