And try to work out which of them is the poshest. In this edition the new adaptation of Jilly Cooper's The Rivals gets picked over (well, no one else seems to be talking about it.. ) as do suggestions for changes to the NHS, comedians in amusing vehicles and the upcoming elections on boths sides of the Atlantic.
