Steve's comedy is often sourced from the news, but how will he fare in being quizzed on the subject - after all, it's not as if anything particularly memorable has happened in 2020....

We also learn a few fun facts about goings-on behind the news agenda, such as which two VERY well known news readers shared a flat in the late 1960s... the answer will AMAZE you, so have a listen.

Viv looks through her rolodex of past guests to form the ultimate pub quiz team...but does Hilary Clinton make the grade, and which famous classicist is most likely to be up for a scrap in the car park afterwards? All these questions will be answered - with a fair few general knowledge ones thrown-in for good measure.... de rien.
