Hello and welcome to another episode of Page 94.

0:05.3

My name is Andrew Hunter Murray, and this week I am joined by Adam McQueen and Helen Lewis,

0:09.9

as always, for our look at the weeks news since the magazine last came out.

0:14.1

Also, later on, we're going to be talking to Richard Brooks,
