National Emergency Alert Test: Newscast In COBR

Newscast is in COBR as it's announced there will be a new national emergency alert test.

As the government announces a new test of the emergency alert system, Newscast is invited to COBR.

Adam and Chris become the first people ever to broadcast from COBR as they interview Pat McFadden the Chancellor for the Duchy of Lancaster.
