BBC Radio 4 - Mark Thomas: The Manifesto, Series 2, Episode 1

Should 4x4s be made of perspex and Ofsted inspectors expected to teach?

The radical comedian asks whether 4x4s should be made of perspex. And if Ofsted inspectors ought to teach? From February 2010.

Comedian-activist, Mark Thomas returns to create a People's Manifesto.

He's taking suggestions from his studio audience and then getting them to vote for the best. 

The winner of each show will be enforceable by law, so pay attention! 

In this episode, the focus is on policies such as restricting Prime Ministers to two full terms of office; the introduction of a maximum wage; and making all 4x4s transparent.

Producer: Ed Morrish

First broadcast on BBC Radio 4 in February 2010.
