The Commonwealth Games have come to a close, and Bex, Joe and Stevie look back at what happened. There’s also a hero rescue dog retiring, a nine-year-old author, and a big debate on whether it’s wrong…
So here's a voice note from Rishan.
Hello, Week Junior.
My name is Rishan, and I am turning nine this week.
My favorite Beatrix Potter character is Peter Rabbit because he's adventurous, kind, clever, and brave.
Bye, Week Junior.
Love your show.
Well, first of all, obviously, happy birthday, Rishan.
Um, and yeah, you've gone for a classic there, and that's a good reason to go for Peter Rabbit.
He is adventurous and clever and kind and brave.
Good reasons there.
Thank you very much.
Uh, we also had a voice note here from Niamh.
Hi there, Week Junior.
My ni- my name is Niamh, and I'm 10 years old.
My fictional prime minister would be Mike Wazowski from Monsters, Inc. because he's loyal, caring, very resilient, would give excellent army training, "Scary feet, scary feet," as he shows in the first movie.
I love the show.
Oh my goodness.
I mean, so that was-- if you're wondering, that was a question from the week before when we asked who would be the perfect fictional prime minister.
Um, I, again, I think Niamh's kind of created, uh, a pretty good manifesto there for, for the Monsters Inc. gang to be in charge of the country.
I would, I would vote for them.
Uh, lovely.
