It's an X-Factor special here on the Brunch as Chris somehow transforms into Simon Cowell for a bit. Meanwhile, Edward and Laura try to keep the show on the road despite the fact that Laura spent last week on a hen do in Spain.

We dip into a little General Election talk in News News News before Laura takes her turn to regale us with another classic Story From The Archives, and before we know it it's time to order an Uber home to bed to listen to The Frog Chorus (it'll make sense when you listen).
