Why does Shanthi need a £16,000 seating area?

This week, Romesh breaks the news that the podcast is moving to a new studio, which raises some important questions about the future of the controversial plastic plant, and the pair re-watch a Bob Mortimer clip to discover they’ve been misunderstanding it all along.

They also play two truths and a lie and reminisce a family argument which Romesh and Shanthi remember very differently...

A Ranga Bee Production.
