Welcome to another brilliant edition of Plank of the Week.

We are here in our resplendent studio.

I have The Plank here with me,

and I have my two glamorous assistants to my left,

Mr Kevin O'Sullivan, Ms. Dawn Niesel.

You might notice, those of you who are a bit eagle-eyed,

that we've got a slight change in the set this week

because last week we had some tape,

you might remember

running down the side of this little

big changes this week we haven't got tape

we've taken the tape off right we're going

bareback I think they call it

don't they in the business

I'm not sure you can't even say that

I think you can we don't need any tape anymore

we're free we've just got these

little dividers between us so we don't in any tape anymore. We're free. We've just got these little dividers between

us so we don't in any way give ourselves any kind of problem. Now, Kevin is, I think, going to kick us off

this week with his first plank nomination. My nomination for Plank of the Week, the first

nomination is Michael Gove. Oh yes. First time this year. The Tory cabinet parrot, who is responsible for our continued lockdowns because he's obsessed with them.

But what I took particular exception to was his attack last week on that excellent MP, Sir Desmond Swain, the Tory backbench.
