Is it ok to have dubious, slightly tyrannical oil-state owners of your club, if it means winning a league cup?

Lisa ( Lolly Adefope) and Des ( Fergus Craig) address the issue of equality in football, although judging by some of the calls coming in, there's still a long way to go. Bobby (Ben Bailey-Smith) suggests making it more like Love Island, Derek (Ed Gamble) explains why only the male about the male body can be perfect for football, and Jordan Young ( Tom Rosenthal) returns to express his own unique brand of support for women everywhere.  Des riles up a female caller ( Lou Sanders) by saying equal pay in the women's game isn't possible given market forces, though backtracks on the idea once he finds out he's paid less than his co-host.

The team realise they must destroy it or risk losing their jobs, so join forces with producer Carla (Jessica Fostekew) to frame the robot into upsetting the station's top brass, and main sponsors.  Starring Lolly Adefope, Fergus Craig, Jessica Fostekew & Helen Cripps Also featuring:  Stevie Martin, Lucy Beaumont, Glenn Moore, Marina Johnson, Maggie Jenkins, Adam Hess & Mark G Smith, Written by Rhys James & Mark G Smith Produced, Engineered and music by Tom Jenkins Executive Produced by Tayo Popoola Directed by Mark G Smith Created by Tayo Popoola A Furious Styles Production, for Keep It Light Media.  Learn more about your ad choices.
