Punt and Dennis look closer at the story behind the government cuts. With guest Paul Sinha

Steve Punt and Hugh Dennis scrutinise the Coalition cuts story; Jon Holmes shrugs at the iPad; Mitch Benn seeks a Cloud Girlfriend and Paul Sinha's off to the countryside.

Steve Punt and Hugh Dennis take a look between the lines of the Coalition cuts story; Jon Holmes shrugs at the iPad and finds a way to enliven British theatre; Mitch Benn downloads a Cloud Girlfriend and guest stand-up Paul Sinha doesn't spout 'extreme anti-white vitriol' towards the countryside.
