About this episode

This week Andy's guests are Nish Kumar, Felicity Ward, Lucy Porter and Gavin Webster.

A titanic clash between Team Lock em Up and Team Lock em Down. In an attempt to distract from the globe's currently lower than average performance, this week's programme features some "future news".

Written by Andy Zaltzman with additional material from Max Davis, Alice Fraser, Simon Alcock and Celya AB.

Producer: Richard Morris A BBC Studios Production
