It’s Friday, so that can only mean one thing: it’s Five in the Eye day here on Colourful Radio. In London, this is Phil Woodford giving a very warm welcome to our loyal band of listeners. This is episode 0333 of our weekly news review show.
MICHAEL
And joining Phil via Zoom this week, it’s me - Michael Ohajuru - revealing that our number one story is about the Prime Minister. Has BoJo lost his mojo? With mounting concern within the Tory Party about his competence and ridicule over a speech involving Peppa Pig, how long has Boris got?
PHIL
Our second story this week is about the North of England. The government promised to level up, but they have cut back on the proposed high-speed rail investment. What’s the future for the so-called Northern Powerhouse?
MICHAEL
What’s story number three? Well according to my sauces, it’s about ketchup. Some football managers like to control the diet of their players, while others take a more relaxed view. Should we really be micromanaging the food that sports professionals eat?
PHIL
For number four this week, do you suffer from HOGO? It’s the new FOMO apparently and it stands for Hassle of Going Out. Restaurants are increasingly finding that people who book decide… nah… they can’t be bothered!
MICHAEL
And finally this week, to wrap up the show, it’s the Israeli firm that’s invented a robotic bartender called Cecilia. She may soon be mixing cocktails in a boozer near you!
PHIL
Mine’s a Margarita, Cecilia! And that’s this week’s Five in the Eye!
