On The Sofa with Colson, Jack and Ben

🎥 There are all sorts of fascinating actorly insights today as we hear about an intriguing single shot TV episode in Netflix's new Monster series. We also get an On The Box lowdown of the new Beetlejuice and Ben’s finally got round to watching a film released in 2002. Plus, could you watch every single episode of Coronation Street and do actors really shout “LINE” into the void when they forget t...

🚗 Golf retreats. Service stations. Colonoscopies. 90s Champions League nights at Elland Road. It can only be a Monday in On The Sofa land. And has that elusive Colson’s Conundrum jingle finally landed? We love hearing from you so if you have something to share, email us at hello@onthesofashow.com or WhatsApp us on 07457 404 612 (+44 if outside UK).  📸 @onthesofashow on the socials. 📲 Subsc...

🏏 The cricket season has come to an end but that doesn’t mean things slow down at Castleford CC and it certainly doesn’t mean Colson’s cricket chat has gone into hibernation on this Free For All Friday. And the boys have sat on literally everything from the sofas in the Corrie green room to a Shetland Pony so it’s important that they come up with the definitive top 5 of places to sit. 📩 Where do...

🕵️Johnny English is On The Box today and there’s a generational divide in the room. Is it the work of comedic genius the younger members in the room think it is? We also learn why there’s no point trying to message Colson with a last minute invite to the gym and in Tricks of the Trade we hear how different Corrie characters convince us they’ve had one too many in the Rovers. 📩 Where do you stand...

🥣 It’s your first instalment of the week and if it’s variety you’re after, you’ve come to the right place. Jack has a serious wedding question for Colson and Ben, while Colson has a slightly less serious but equally important wedding question for Jack (it’s soup related). Plus, where would you have a blue plaque to mark your iconic moments and how much money would you spend on FIFA points? And, w...

🗑 Free For All Friday is quickly turning into Challenge Friday and despite reservations about “does this work for audio?” we’re ploughing on regardless with a tense head to head.  Plus there’s yet more TV mixups as Ben undergoes some proper cringe in front of his mate and there’s an absolutely rubbish Top 5.  📩 We’re on email  hello@onthesofashow.com  or WhatsApp us on 07...

🥊 Rocky is what’s on the cards today. But not before an absolute roasting of Colson’s culinary abilities. Crucially we’re not here to talk about frozen good though as the boys dive into the Stallone boxing classic. Also expect some House of The Dragon chat from what the lads have been watching this week and Tricks of The Trade takes a thespian turn.  It’s a jam packed On The Box! 📩 Got an a...

🍾 Colson has all the goss from the other week’s National Television Awards after a big night in London. Who made a mess of themselves? Who crashed the afterparty? Who caused the whole of Corrie to miss the train? He’s willing to divulge answers to varying degrees to sustain his acting career. Elsewhere a listener asks for first date advice, Jack gets collared while buying a new shower head and, c...

🏎 What's a terrible thing you just love? Mrs Browns Boys? Love Island? Pasta with ketchup? The boys are digging into more of those rubbish things that you still just can't get enough of on this Pants Down Friday. Does cricket come into that category for Colson? No matter how often Jack and Ben tell Colson that he makes cricket the most boring thing in the world he somehow manages to unlock new lev...

👽 The boys take in the new Alien film, reveal their controversial blockbuster opinions and there’s a real life tale of Harry Potter’s Argus Filch. There's absolutely loads flying around. We also obtain a truly groundbreaking piece of performance advice from Colson in Tricks of The Trade and Ben hypothesises a new reality TV show.  Plus what objectively bad things do you still love? 📲 S...

🧑🏻‍🦰 Well hello! To settle you into your week, no matter how brilliant or bleak your horizon looks we’ve got loads of fun to perk it up. Colson reveals some extraordinary bodily facts about gingers and gives all the follicular details of his hair transplant, while Old Father Ben brings some *tales from the past*, back to a time of pay phones and being on time. We’ve also got a Colson’s Conundru...

🤝 Comfy? We’re back in on a Feel Good / Pants Down / Free For All Friday. It’s all free and easy here as we hear about getting it wrong with one of your heroes and Colson asks who would the dream guests on the show be? There’s also tales of the violent past from young Ben, who is also sacked(?!) from the Top 5 leading to an interesting reinvention of the feature’s format. And we have some of...

🍞 This week’s On The Box is absolutely jam packed with peeks behind the camera, toast crime and opinions so piping hot that you’ll have to watch your fingers. The boys cover the *worst* things they’ve watched of late, there’s a quiz question featuring an iconic moment, and Ben offers a sartorial Trick of The Trade. Plus, what do Kevin Webster’s jacket and the Jorvik turd have in common? And are A...

🎢 Well it’s exclusives central on On The Sofa right now. A rollercoaster ride even. Engagements, Colson’s [to be revealed soon], and huge news coming out of Blackpool. Yes, if you were at the Pleasure Beach the other week that really was Craig Tinker that you saw in that situation.  There’s also a very highly strung canine in this week’s Colson’s conundrum, and a quick warning: If you don’t...

🍦You’re clocking off early from work. The pub’s already calling. And CJB are here to carry you into the weekend in a Free For All Friday / Pants Down Friday in On The Sofa towers. Colson is caught scoffing away in an alleyway, they question being unable to lie and Ben throws up a Top 5 category to really get the brains ticking only for some typically bold thoughts to be offered up.   We also...

Back with you on Wednesday! 📩 Want to see us do anything th...

💥 Move aside Oasis. There’s only one Mancunian comeback that matters this week. We're back On The Sofa after three months in Africa (Jack), clinics (Colson), at home (Ben). And we’re bigger and chattier than ever with THREE episodes of On The Sofa EVERY week.  That’s right, you're going to be hearing more from us than most of your family and friends. But don't worry, we're much better c...
