Welcome to the last episode of Tisky Sao before Britain goes into a four-day weekend to celebrate

70 years of our Queen, living rent-free in London's biggest home. We will have a couple of royal

related stories for you tonight, but first we're talking about the man who wanted to be World King

and why his brain might be coming to an end. I'm joined by Dalia Gebrio. Do you have any

Jubilee themed street parties coming up or maybe celebrations for if Boris Johnson gets de-friend?

I am moving house at the weekend, so I'm doing like the worst most awful possible thing that you
