It’s not 1984 anymore but it sure feels like it. The Thought Police returns for a third series. After working with previous partners Kevin O’Sullivan and Matt Kelly for the past few years Mike Graham has got a new co-host. He is the highly entertaining American comedian Lewis Schaffer whose wry observations on life have to be heard to be believed. We’ve got culture, we’ve got politics and we might even make you laugh in these troubled times.  It’s The Thought Police. We’re watching you.
