On this week’s show, Peter has been to the flicks to see the new de Gaulle movie (five stars from Peter), splashed out on some popcorn too, and Sarah is asking is Germany really going to war with Russia.

And we’ll be opening our mailbag to discuss whether there could ever be such a thing as a united Ireland, the evilest person they’ve encountered, should Prince William get a hair weave and what they both watch or do to rile themselves up.

On our reading, listening and watch list this week:

•A Certain Idea of France: The Life of Charles de Gaulle - Julian Jackson

•This Blessed Plot: Britain and Europe from Churchill to Blair – Hugo Young

•Murder At The Castle (A Miss Merkel Mystery) - David Safier

•Dawn Of The Dead – Dir: George Romero
