Just on Hannah Fry, if anyone hasn't seen it, her BBC Prog on her own cancer is a must watch. Deeply personal, but with the mind of a scientist applied, riveting and thought-provoking viewing.

Sounds like a must watch for me. Thanks.

Also, Hannah Fry gives her Room 101 suggestions to Paul Merton on BB R4. Listened this morning. She is good value.

She’s fabulous. Have listen to Room 101 on BBC Sounds with her and Paul M, very entertaining.

ETA Beaten to it !

Jon Richardson’s somewhat muted performance last week explained?

Who do you think cheated?

More seriously, do NO married couples actually try and work through their problems these days? I never see myself getting married. Its just not the commitment it used to be so its irrelevant.

How do you know they didn't try everything possible to work through it?

Eh?

You're going to have to explain that one to me.

She's a big cigar aficionado, which I think is gross.

As it happens I was relieved that she was a panellist rather than the host, and she was funny at times too. Hannah Fry was great- intelligent, quick witted, cheeky glint, the works. Lovely.

The Angela Rayner story had moved on a notch or two after they recorded the show, I think?

I enjoyed it, but then again, I almost always do.

I also thought it was a pretty good one. As already mentioned, Hislop was sharp as a pin and Merton's joke about the newspaper cutting at the end "I only came in for a haircut" was superb.

I thought she was terrible. Having to touch Paul's arm after every "joke".

I didn't even notice that.

AR and Labour got an easy ride….

So?

There was much more humour/cynicism to be had out of this story.

It’s the whole point of the program…

Given they're still the opposition they got pretty roasted, Ian went on about AR at length. Did you watch the same show as the rest of us?

I'm watching it for the first time (admittedly the "More" version) and I haven't noticed it, even keeping an eye open for it.

Now, perhaps I need to go to Specsavers. However, I did note her delivering a number of jokes without touching his arm. So, on balance, maybe it's not me but you who needs to.
