Episode description

As Facebook's latest innovation - Instant Articles - gets underway, we discuss the pros and cons for Facebook, news organisations and the public. Could this innovation be a plan to take over the news business or a way for publishers and broadcasters to reach a larger potential audience more quickly? Question: When is Australia part of Europe? Answer: When it comes to Eurovision. This year there'll be an Australian entry in the competition. Ingrid Deltenre, Director General of the European Broadcasting Union tell us why - and which other non-European country she'd like to have on next year.

And why UKTV's family of channels is so profitable - could it be all these Top Gear repeats? Presenter: Steve Hewlett. Producer: Paul Waters.
