And so to the BIG QUESTIONS

1 Rowan Atkinson claiming that “comedy’s job is to offend”. Does that explain why he appeared in Love Actually, which was more offensive to the art of comedy than Jim Davidson’s sitcom Up The Elephant and Round The Castle? 2 Is it true you can now get Tolstoy’s War and Peace on an NHS prescription as something to see you through your A&E wait?

3 With inflation running at almost 10%, who’s sparing a thought for the future of Poundland shops?

4 Prince William telling survivors of the Windrush Generation that racism is still prevalent in Britain today. Is his research largely based on his American sister-in-law’s experience with an unnamed member of the Royal Family?

5 What’s more scary, Season Four Volume Two of Stranger Things landing next week or Dominic Raab being in charge of the country this week when Boris Johnson had surgery?
