It's been a comfortably nostalgic week in some ways; the Tories cutting back benefits, America arresting Russian spies and England losing to Germany at football. Still, The Now Show team have written a fresh clutch of 2010 jokes, Susan Calman tackles the EU ruling that would ban the sale of eggs by the dozen, Mitch Benn serenades us with songs about peace prizes and raging Libertarianism and poor Jon Holmes has been in a horrific paddling accident.
