This week Helen welcomes you back to Ladies What Brunch 2016! She brings you the comedy news that street shambles has become a Manchester Renaissance moment, men are arrested for shopping in their pants and Black-pudding's new status as a superfood brings great joy!
Helen's special guest this week is Professor Sophie Scott, who is a fellow of the academy of medical sciences and based at UCL. It's time to engage as Sophie explains your brain in layman's term. Apparently it looks a bit like a walnut...
Prof Sophie Scott explains why it is that we laugh and how you laugh to show you agree with people and that you like them. She even tells us that certain animals laugh, from primates to rats! Apparently rats like being tickled!
