In this programme, a panel of armchair critics discuss their views on the hit series Squid Game and the long‑running dance competition Strictly Come Dancing. They also comment on the BBC’s reporting of the recent Facebook outage and its impact on users.

The show is a programme presented as an episode in which a panel of armchair critics gathers to voice their thoughts. It follows the familiar format of the series, bringing together a small group of commentators who discuss a range of cultural and current‑affair topics from the comfort of their own homes. In this particular instalment the contributors turn their attention to three distinct subjects. First, they offer their take on the global hit series Squid Game, examining what has made the show a talking point. Next, they shift focus to the long‑running dance competition Strictly Come Dancing, sharing impressions of its recent episodes. Finally, the discussion moves to the BBC’s coverage of the recent Facebook outage, with the panel commenting on how the news outlet reported the incident. Throughout the episode the critics exchange viewpoints, comparing the entertainment pieces with the news segment and highlighting any surprising angles they notice. Their conversation weaves together reactions to a high‑stakes drama, a popular dance show, and a major social‑media disruption, providing a snapshot of how audiences are engaging with both television programmes and breaking news. The episode thus serves as a concise roundup of the panel’s collective perspective on these three topics.
