With such a long break, the lads have played a lot of video games. Adam’s been getting oiled up in WWE ‘13 and changing outfits in Hitman: Absolution, whilst Colm’s been punching Sackboy in PlayStation All-Stars: Battle Royale and sneaking around rooftops in Dishonored.

All this plus, 7th Heaven, Emails and the lads’ verdict on politics.
