Can’t afford a house? Buy a Lotto ticket

As this week's episode was drawing to a close, after a long conversation about movies and books, Geraldine dropped a clanger.

She reckons young people struggling to buy a house should buy a weekly Lotto ticket, in the off chance they win and can spend the money on a house deposit.

This sent Eliza into fits of laughter and left Geraldine bemused.

Also this week, the long Elvis movie.

And the joy (and darkness) of Elizabeth Strout's books.
