In this jumbo-sized episode, we mop up Band Aid's Do They Know It's Christmas? by taking a look at who wasn't on the recording, and we come up with a few conspiracy theories that probably don't touch reality at any point.
Then we feed USA for Africa to the voracious Overrated Machine, and wonder (rather cynically) if the money from these charity projects reached Ethiopia, if long-term help was put in place, and if ultimately all that was achieved was to create a monster in the abomination that is Sting and his barefoot rain forest lute.
Along the way, Jeremy challenges Wikipedia to a fist fight; Wayne struggles to remember that good Adam Ant album from the '90s; we play a game of Charity or Calamity?; and we wonder if sultry Smooth Operator Sade knows even the basics of north American geography.
