Are expat social media stars in the UAE the real victims of the Iranian war? Has Netflix dodged a bullet by losing the Warner Bros. bid? Were The BRITs actually good?

Richard Osman and Marina Hyde discuss how the Iranian drone strikes have impacted the influencer economy in Dubai. Is it really 'the safest place in the world'?

David Ellison (and his dad's billions) have won the bidding war for Warner Bros. Who are the winners and losers in Tinsel Town?

The BRITs on Saturday night were an excellent display of British music (with a fair amount of bleeping) How did they get it so right?
