MICHAEL Hello and a very warm welcome to your weekly news review show on Colourful Radio. We call it Five in the Eye because we look back on five of the stories that have caught our eye over the past seven days and put them under the spotlight. This is episode 0447.
PHIL And joining Michael via Zoom this morning, it’s Phil Woodford, our top story thus week the devastating report from former Prime Minister Gordon Brown poverty in Brtain today
MICHAEL A great taster of what’s to come. And for story number two, we cross the Atlantic. A mother of a teenage killer has been found guilty of a crime herself, for supplying the youngster with the weapon he used to commit murder.
PHIL What’s story number three? Well, Prime Minister Rishi Sunak accepted a £1,000 bet with broadcaster Piers Morgan over whether he could get Rwanda flights off the ground. What does this say about his judgment?
MICHAEL Our fourth story is from an archeological dig, where a flat-pack bed has been discovered. It was made by ancient Romans for use in the afterlife!
PHIL And to round off the Eye at number five, it’s the assertion by a writer in The Guardian that game shows ain’t what they used to be. At least in terms of what people win and how they use it.
MICHAEL The only prize here is making our way through to the end of the show! And that’s this week’s Five in the Eye!
