As we approach the end of the first week of the General Election campaign, Nigel and Sarah discuss how the opening stages have gone- with Labour proposing lowering the voting age to 16, and the Conservatives announcing the return of national service (sort of).
Sarah shares her thought on the visuals of the campaign, including the Prime Minister visiting the Titanic quarter in Belfast, and reveals how she saved David Cameron from a potentially embarrassing photo at a bread factory.
Meanwhile, Nigel gets in his TARDIS to travel back to 1997 to begin a new feature charting the progress of that year's General Election in "real time".
