2. Rivals; The NHS; Paddington Bear and the photocopy Tories.

David Quantick and Ian Martin are joined this week by screenwriter, Sarah Phelps (The Sixth Commandment, A Very British Scandal, Ordeal By Innocence) to unpick their own angles on the news. And try to work out which of them is the poshest. In this edition the new adaptation of Jilly Cooper's The Rivals gets picked over (well, no one else seems to be talking about it.. ) as do suggestions for changes to the NHS, comedians in amusing vehicles and the upcoming elections on boths sides of the Atlantic. Sort of topical, cultural rants and conversation from the viewpoint of older people who still give a damn about the world around them. The inside pages of the broadsheets: Entertainment, broadcasting, nature, science, obituaries, lifestyle, environment, business, fashion, health. Strong language from the beginning and throughout.
