Summary

Better late than never, Mike Graham (via studio) and Matt Kelly (via phone) are back in time for the weekend. They discuss: country life, the next steps of lockdown, shooting a gun, David Mamet movies, the complexities of the coronavirus crisis, being stuck inside with the same person, the antiquated art of cashing cheques, Alan Clark MP, the dearth of interesting ministers, Priti Patel's whereabouts, playing golf and Michael Jordan. And don't worry, there's a tangent or two as well!
