"We've all seen Billy Elliot..."

In episode 36 of Ruthie Me and My Dad, Ruthie celebrates her 18th birthday by giving dad the bad news that radio is dead. Also, she contemplates a boycott of Top Shop, 'but really it's such a good dress,' and has mixed feelings about the sacking of Apu from the Simpsons' Kwik-e-mart. Facebook's fake news comes under the microscope, as does the Afro hairstyle of dad's youth, and musically it's little-known Dutch singer of the '60s Therese Steinmetz versus hip-hop artist Jeremih.
