Christmas party season is in full swing and as the cameramen and crew write themselves off. Noelene cooks her first ever roast chook for an awkward pre-Christmas lunch with Rob's family. Kay Walters wants to sell her story of addiction to News at Six and Lindsay sees a huge opportunity to end the year on a ratings high.

Leigh Sales and Lisa Millar sit down with William McInnes (Lindsay) and Michelle Lim Davidson (Noelene) to uncover the inspiration behind Lindsay's foul-mouthed, newsroom rants and to unpack the casual racism of the 80s during Noelene and Rob's family lunch.

And no, there's no MSG in the roast chook.
