"I don't want my face on a gun!"

In this week's episode, Ruth, newly 18, says she's now looking forward to voting and drinking alcohol legally, but not too much of it, because her generation are the new puritans. Father and daughter are mystified by the runaway success of YouTuber Zoella, while Ruth reveals the latest favourite of her group of friends; Mukbangs, footage of people eating. Ruth is not in favour of misogyny being taken off the list of hate crimes, and surprisingly is also against Jodie Whittaker as Dr Who, and remakes of old films like Ghostbusters with female leads. She also asks if classic books like Vladimir Nabokov's Lolita would have a chance of being published these days. Musically, it's Andy Gibb versus Rina Sawayama.
