Contain the Prolapse - S17 Ep.4

This week Jenny and Jack hear from the voice behind the infamous Mr. Blobby task, unleashing some bonus Blobby factoids and behind the scenes insights thanks to Production Manager Sophie.

Don't worry, there's some good old fashioned pedantry too, with a brief philosophical exploration into what it actually means to walk towards a duck if you live on a spherical planet.
