Series 21, Episode 4

Newsjack returns to satirise another week's news and events, with Kiri joined this time by Josh Berry, Freya Parker and Kiell Smith-Bynoe. This week the Queen tries to screen her phone calls, we look at the end of BP's sponsorship of the RSC, and there is an "Alcoholics Anonymous"-style meeting for regretful inventors.
