Summary

What do you get the person who has everything? A home DNA testing kit seems to be the present du jour and in the UK alone, more than 4.7million of us have spit into a vial to find out more about our ancestry. Journalist Jenny Kleeman’s new BBC Sounds series, The Gift, explores what happens when technology, genealogy and identity collide, and our Mick got on the Zoom with her to chat crimes solved, sperm stolen, and why these kits’ popularity show no signs of waning. Because what could possibly go wrong? After a full six years of trying, it’s finally happened: the glorious Morven Christie is chatting to Hannah. They talk her new series, Payback (which starts tonight on ITV), The A-Word, leaving Twitter, and the effects, if any, of the #MeToo movement in telly. In Jenny Off The Blocks, Jen’s got her football on – there’s a lot of it about – from grassroots club Victoria Park to Nigeria’s Super Falcons. And all of those women are dealing with tomshittery. FFS. And how’s about some family-friendly child exploitation? You got it! In Rated or Dated, we watch 1968’s Oliver!. Will we be asking for more? How long is that song going on for? And does Mick actually know what ‘loveable’ means? Plus, there are gaps all over the shop in the Bush Telegraph. Mind them? We’re fecking livid about them.
