Summary
Jane's got some time to kill, so she and Fi are asking what the point of shopping is, talking about how to break into a so-called tight-knit community, and coming up with a very unusual version of Kafka's Metamorphosis.
They're joined by actor Tracy-Ann Oberman to talk about her starring role as Shylock in The Merchant of Venice 1936.
