Russell Brand Jailed, Bono's Song For Jo & Christmas... Already?

As Russell Brand is found guilty and sentenced to 10 and a half years in jail, Jo and Zoe talk about the immense bravery of the victims who came forward, and the huge impact of the judge’s words in the courtroom.

It’s also the Battle of the Christmas Adverts, with the big supermarket ads dropping thick and fast. But with just six weeks to go, has Christmas panic already set in?

Also this week: don’t miss some incredible Digger doppelgangers, a delicious Dunk It recommendation and Jo’s perfect winter cold care package from U2’s Bono. Plus. Monty Don’s final Gardeners’ World, safe bird feeding and, in Crate Digging, the book Zoe says will have you all in tears.

Please note there is discussion of sexual abuse and rape in this episode, which some people may find distressing. There are services available to help:

• Sexual assault referral centres (SARCs) offer medical, practical and emotional support
• You can speak to a doctor or practice nurse at your GP surgery
• Organisations such as Rape Crisis, Women's Aid and Victim Support can help
• And you can go to the police when you’re ready
