Simon and Matt are joined by screenwriter and author John O'Farrell to talk about his latest novel, Family Politics.

They discuss...politics...believe it or not, as well as the humour that can be found in all political parties, Question Time, Mrs Doubtfire the musical and what doesn't always translate from the UK to the US (and vice versa).

You could say it's a cornucopia of an episode!
