Tune in for a dose of your favourite English language radio show.
This week: Dr Love answers letters and fields phone calls, where were you when Oddvar Brå broke his skiing pole, from the diary of a foreign student, music from Bavaria that isn't oompa, the Pulse, and, as always, lots of good music.
Next week: Norwegian humour (is this another question?), Norwegian weirdness (no question about that), lots of not-Norwegian music that isn't oompa either and we'll improvise the rest.

Plot: Charlie invites her uncle Charlie, from whom she obviously got her name, to visit the family. But this family reunion is soon overshadowed by a bad suspicion: Is Uncle Charlie the "Merry Widow Murderer"?
