Every parent has lost a kid for 30 seconds and aged 10 years. Romesh gets it. 🍦 #RomeshRanganathan
Who it's for
Ranganathan builds the hour around a day trip to Brighton when one of his three sons briefly went missing, a common parenting fear told as farce, which lets stressed parents laugh at their own panic.

What it is
