MICHAEL
Hello and a very warm welcome to Five in the Eye. This is me - Michael Ohajuru - hosting your weekly news review show on Colourful Radio. It’s episode 0439 and I can’t help noticing that 439 is a PRIME NUMBER, so we know that this is going to be a special show.
PHIL
And this is Phil Woodford joining Michael via Zoom and revealing that our top story is going to be about immigration. Ireland recently saw street violence in the capital and the Dutch elections produced a shock with right-winger Geert Wilders getting the largest number of seats in parliament. It seems the issue isn’t just a hot topic here in the UK.
MICHAEL
And for story number two, it’s the Christmas ad for a local pub that people are saying rivals John Lewis for its sentimental message. But what does it tell us about loneliness?
PHIL
What’s our third story this week? There have apparently been discussions about extending about the controversial VAR system in football. The suggestion has understandably sparked a mixed reaction.
MICHAEL
For story number four, we discuss the fact that Gen Z is apparently not so keen on the classic Christmas dinner with all the trimmings.
PHIL
And another food story to wrap up the show. How about some slap-up dining with… errr… Greggs?
MICHAEL
My favourite sausage roll is now haute cuisine! And that’s this week’s Five in the Eye!
