If there's comedy in Covid, the team will find it. World leaders, the media, experts, celebrities, Michael Gove - no one is off limits. Recorded in five different kitchens. This episode looks back at the key moments since the pandemic began, with a special maths lesson from Matt Hancock, a fight between Good and Bad Boris about when lockdown should start, a secret recording of Dominic Cummings and an outtake from Normal People. Sir Kier Starmer also makes his Dead Ringers debut.
