What The F*** Is Going On? with Mark Steel

What The F*** Is Going On? with Mark Steel – Ep 87

Mark is joined by comedy writer Pete Sinclair, along with Elliot Steel, as he tries to make sense of Rishi Sunak telling us to hold our nerve, what it was like writing for Spitting Image – and whether it's a coincidence that Mark and Pete both started out as milkmen!

Plus, a woman who Mark heard on a phone-in show complaining about children identifying as cats – and deceased Yorkshire cricketer Fred Trueman on the rise of women's cricket!

From the rise and fall of Boris Johnson to Putin's 'special operation' in Ukraine; from the cost of living crisis to sending refugees to Rwanda; award winning comedian Mark Steel takes an exasperated and frankly baffled look at the state of the UK and the rest of the world. Joined by comedian (and son) 26-year-old Elliot Steel for the 'youth's' perspective, and a special guest each week, with occasional contributions from the likes of a deceased cricketer and a woman who's overheard in a cafe, Mark tries to answer that age old question: What The F*** Is Going On?!
