'Let me finish my sentence!'

Ruth believes you can't tell the story of the Pope being stuck in a lift without doing a transubstantiation joke or something similar, she tries a Black Country accent in honour of hero Caitlin Moran, whose Wolverhampton childhood is being made into a movie, but mostly she insists her other hero Margaret Atwood, whose public appearance she went to see, has lots to tell us about the way we live now. Musically, Martin chooses 1950s doo wop, Ruthie a remake of 10CC's I'm Not In Love.
