Mark is joined by comedian Omid Djalili, along with Elliot Steel, as he tries to make sense of what's happening in Iran – and whether Iranians wanted their football team to win or lose in the World Cup.

Plus, Lieutenant Colonel Sir Ambrose Chislehurst-Artichoke shares another remarkable story about Her Late Majesty; and a woman on a phone-in show who's upset about all these foreigners flooding into Qatar to play football.
