Further details

Teamed up in pairs, the comedians take a look at some of the strangest grumbles to feature in local news articles and ask 'What's the Point?' in complaining...

Shazia, Sara, John and Fern tackle a new game deciphering cryptic real-life complaints in 'Hi, How Can I Help You?'.

The guests share what they would most like to start a petition for: Should all whistling in public be banned? Should revealing spoilers be made a crime?

They dissect the funniest product reviews from the internet, and we find out what really winds up John Thomson.

Sara Pascoe shares the ultimate cause for complaint at home (wet towels on the floor!), we find out what happened to Shazia Mirza when a fellow shopper dared to complain she had more than 10 items in the basket queue, and Fern Brady reveals her number one cause for complaint around the house.

Notes

Fern and John won, 7 points to 6.
