We read the papers so you don’t have to. Today: Pics from the BAFTAs are all over the front pages, but Miranda only has eyes for Wallace and Gromit’s red carpet debut. The Times wonders what will happen when Boomers pass down their wealth and Zing breaks down why Millennials and Gen Z shouldn’t get too excited. Plus – Friend of the show Anniki Sommerville mourns the death of ‘kept women’ in the Daily Mail as Jacob reveals he wouldn’t mind being kept.

Miranda Sawyer is joined by journalist Zing Tsjeng and comedian Jacob Hawley.
