James Richardson, the pod's top bod, is joined by Kevin McCarra (I stayed until the end ...unlike Roman Abramovich) and James Dart. Also in the frame, Sid Lowe on Spain, Raphael Honigstein on Germany, Paul Doyle on France and Paolo Bandini on Italy.
Apologies for the poor audio quality in places. As you'll hear, it was a case of last man to arrive in our new pod studio had to shout their views from the back of the Tardis. But their views are important and relevant nonetheless. Normal service will be resumed as soon as possible.
