Comedy, Climate and Pensions, with screenwriter Richard Curtis

Why does the comedy legend Richard Curtis want us all to care more about our pensions? Deborah and Fliss find out.

Richard Curtis co-founded Comic Relief as well as writing some of our best known comedies including Blackadder and Love Actually. But did you know he's also a passionate campaigner about the power of pensions?

Richard tells Deborah and Fliss why he believes our pensions could be a "mega-weapon" in the fight against climate change and what impact he believes Comic Relief has had over the decades.

And have Blackadder and Baldrick put anything away for their retirement?

Plus your questions answered: from the environmental impact of log burners to what happens to supermarket soft plastics recycling with Professors Mike Berners-Lee and Rachael Rothman.

Presented by Deborah Meaden and Felicity Hannah.
