James O'Brien received a call from a Yorkshireman stuck in China due to the coronavirus crisis - and it was the funniest call you'll hear.
Luke is in Nantong, China, and has only gone out twice in the last seven days as the deadly supervirus sweeps around the country.
James wanted to speak to him about what it's like being stranded in China with the fear of contracting the virus hanging over your head.
But Luke was so lively and optimistic, listeners ended up labelling him "the best man ever"!
OMFG Luke from Leeds/China is the Highlight of the year. Best radio 📻 for years.
