Further details
The show starts asking if '4%' is the foreign news-related answer, what is the question, with discussion quickly following on to Sarah Palin and the U.S. presidential election race, and then the news of the ice caps melting at the North Pole.
The Illegally Drilling Alaskan Joke Reserves round features stand-up material from Frankie on pensioners, Ed on young people, Russell on relationships, and Stewart on family.
Then follows the headliners round - a photo of Andy Murray with the initials M.G.S.W., and then the conversation continues on a sporting theme by discussing Manchester City's new owners, and then moving on to Jeremy Kyle.
The show ends as always with scenes we'd like to see - this week they are unlikely small ads, and unlikely things to hear on Question Time.
