Hello and a very warm welcome to episode 0340 of Five in the Eye, the news review show to which everyone has to bring their own booze. In London, I’m Phil Woodford and you’re listening to Colourful Radio.

And joining Phil via Zoom this week, it’s me - Michael Ohajuru - revealing that our top story is going to be about vaccines. The controversy surrounding top tennis star Novak Djokovic in Australia raises important issues about fairness in the way we deal with Covid. Meanwhile, some countries around the world are getting stricter than ever with people who choose not to get jabbed.

What’s story number two this week? Well, it’s the resignation of the BBC Radio 4 presenter Nigel Rees who quit the corporation because of 'patronising' focus on diversity. What does it say about the culture at the BBC?
MICHAEL
Our third story this week is about supermarket Morrison’s. They’re dropping ‘sell by’ dates on milk, encouraging us to sniff to see if our dairy products are fresh enough to drink!
PHIL
For story number four, it’s government Minister Michael Gove getting stuck in a lift at the BBC for half an hour. Why did we allow him to escape?
MICHAEL
And finally, to wrap up the show there’s the tale of an unlikely wedding. A woman has decided to marry the colour PINK.
PHIL
Something old, something new, something borrowed and…err… something pink. And that’s this week’s Five in the Eye!
