Plus, Philomena and Barry examine the popular internet dance meme The Harlem Shake, Doug Stanhope explains why he enjoys tasteless jokes on Twitter and Charlie is joined by some rather familiar-looking guests to review new film Cloud Atlas. All that, and a look at the advantages of painting a wall bright pink.

The cops immediately arrest him and eyewitnesses claim to place Reacher at the scene of the crime.

One thing above all is for sure: They picked the wrong guy to take the fall.
