Bunk Bed

Series 4, Episode 1

Patrick Marber and Peter Curran wonder what services were on offer after hearing rare archive of H. G Wells admitting that he used to earn his living as 'a prostitute', grapple with one of the most ferociously bad pop singles of all time - Cinderella Rockerfella - and get to the heart of the British aristocracy's perverse attitude to dogs.
