BBC One - The People's News, Series 1, Episode 3

Football is back, lack of sleep, fast food, zoo closures, protests and more.

Discussion about protesting in a pandemic, losing sleep over lockdown, zoos facing closures and a UK bike shortage.

We discuss the story that got the country talking... drive-thru fast food is back and, from the insane queues, it is clear it has been missed; but what does that mean for our lockdown diet and new healthy regime? 

We also celebrate the news that the Premier League is returning next week but sadly not for all teams, as the women’s games won’t be back till 2021. 

We discuss the recent protests in Belfast for the Black Lives Matter movement and question how safe it is to protest in a pandemic. 

We grapple with the news of post-holiday quarantines and whether a two-week break away in the sun is worth it. 

Zoos across the UK face possible closures due to lack of visitors, which makes us ask how necessary zoos are now in the modern world. 

We also tackle the issue of sleep deprivation with the news that lockdown has massively affected our sleeping pattern. 

And we end on a positive note with the news that parents might get a bit of help with home schooling from CBBC’s Celebrity Supply Teacher.
