About this episode

In an act of disastrous political timing, Jill Biden has appeared on the front cover of US Vogue. Does this tin-eared response to her husband’s catastrophic debate performance spell the end to Hollywood’s elite support for the Democrats.


Who the hell is Glen Powell and why is he always on my screen? Richard and Marina give us a bluffers guide to the biggest celebrities in the world right now - and explain why you probably don’t know who Sabrina Carpenter is.


And finally, as Thursday’s General Election brought forth a Tory Wipeout - Richard tells us which former MPs would be best at a Bushtucker Trial.
