Read a transcript of the show
Off air: Rob and Kiruna have never presented the show together before, but both came to the production meeting bursting with ideas and ready for action. It's a high octane show this one. Other behind the scenes highlights included an argument between the Shut Up and Listen crew about who got the most air time and a brief sighting of the one and only Hugh Laurie in Broadcasting House reception. He's not disabled in real life you know.

For example if I was to come and play against Mat , the gift or something will be a funny thing from my house! LOL!
