Hello, I'm the award-winning Gary Bellamy, host of Radio 4's Premium Phone In Show, Down the Line.

And, like all those retired doctors and other heroes, I have returned in this country's

hour of need, broadcasting live from my own home with a lockdown special.

And you can find an exclusive extra episode by searching for Down the Line on BBC Sounds.

Hello, I'm Angela Barnes and you're listening to the Friday Night Comedy Podcast.

There have been a few changes around here since last week, as I continue to do my best to adapt

a life in this new normal. For example, I've now adopted a five-level alert system to help my

partner understand how hungry I am. I'm currently at level four, which is high risk of hunger,

keep two metres away from me. And if I don't eat something soon, I may even tip over into level five,

which is risk of becoming overwhelmed and triggers lockdown with several garlic breads.

Actually, don't worry, I've just found an old Oreo down the side of the sofa,

which should just about take me back to level three, general peckishness.

So, while I crack on with this stale biscuit-y disc, here's this week's episode of The News Quiz.

Enjoy!

Welcome to The News Quiz with your host, Angela Barnes.

Hello and welcome to another lockdown edition of The News Quiz. I tell you what,

I'm so glad this is an audio medium because I don't think I could bear being judged week after

week on my decor and bookcase, especially because I'm really into Cold War history,

espionage stories and the archers, so I'd definitely end up on a list.

Before we get going, let's get started with this warning label read by Neil Sleet.

SnoozePod 3-in-1 bedside crib. Warning, keep away from babies and children.
