Hugh Dennis presents the week via topical stand-up and sketches. This week we tackle the latest on Brexit, Trump and the migrant caravan and perhaps the biggest story of the week - the news that John Lewis is no longer stocking DVD players. Kiri Pritchard-McLean looks at the recent report from the Women and Equalities Committee, Jess Robinson channels a famous Glaswegian to tackle the equal pay strikes, and Phil Wang tells us why he thinks Dyson might have relocated to Singapore.
