The elderly pair chat with co-host David Reeves about fashion, the war and their love of Michael Buble.

The judges said they were: ?A joyous, entertaining double act. They give a voice to a sector of society unrepresented on radio, and do it with a joy that puts many of their fellow broadcasters to shame.

You can see the pair discuss their nomination in this BBC website video from April.
