It's Brexit "lucky dip day" as MPs vote on a series of alternatives to Theresa May's withdrawal deal. Can they break the ongoing deadlock?

It's lucky dip Brexit day. MPs are preparing to vote for their preferred option on how we leave or maybe stay in the EU. The Prime Minister will also meet Tory backbenchers in an effort to win them over to her deal. Some have suggested Theresa May must name the date she will step down to have any hope of winning MPs' approval for her deal at the third attempt. Leading Brexiteer Jacob Rees-Mogg has hinted he may soon back the plan, but only as long as the DUP give it their support. Stephen spoke to 麻豆社 political correspondent Enda McClafferty, commentator and head of the Northern Ireland remain campaign, Tom Kelly, and DUP MLA Jim Wells.

Also on the programme, we were talking earlier this week - about old TV shows that Stephen loved. Banana Splits, Little House on the Prairie, Hong Kong Fuey... and it got him thinking about all those old advertisements, that really take him back to his childhood. Commentator Andrea McVeigh talked through her favourites, and we spoke to Jim Megaw of "Crazy Prices" fame!

And, a new YouGov poll suggests 71 per cent of us would be happier if we worked a four-day week. Would that include you? The survey of 1,699 UK adults indicated 57 per cent would be in favour of such a move. What do you reckon? And the all-important question - do you think it could work here? Stephen got the views of business owner and Conservative Party member Irwin Armstrong and the Editor of The View Digital, Brian Pelan.

All that and more on the biggest show in the country.
