Episode notes

Totalsport FM attempts to modernise its output further, as station manager Jan(Helen Cripps) tells Des (Fergus Craig) that he is being replaced for today’s show by an AI robot called Beebo, who will sit in alongside Lisa (Lolly Adefope). 

Things go awry when Beebo’s machine learning sees him echoing the views of the station’s listeners and his popularity soars. The team realise they must destroy it or risk losing their jobs, so join forces with producer Carla (Jessica Fostekew) to frame the robot into upsetting the station’s top brass, and main sponsors.
