5. The Prince of Darkness
Andy Zaltzman is joined by panellists Desiree Burch, Pierre Novellie, Daniel Finkelstein and Catherine Bohart to break down the week in news.
Is there a way out for Keir Starmer after the Peter Mandelson scandal? Who fled ‘under the cover of darkness’ from their royal lodgings? What exactly is a humble address? And why are iguanas falling out of trees? Helping Andy answer some of the big questions of the week are Desiree Burch, Pierre Novellie, Daniel Finkelstein and Catherine Bohart.
