MANDATED auction.
4D is defined as "Cue bid - fit in spades...".
Well, perhaps...if you consider a spade VOID (!) to be a "fit in spades"!

Another MANDATED auction, which means another steaming pile of hogwash from GIBBO.
South's double of 1C is a VERY poor call in my opinion, although I realize some humans would COMMIT the same call.
I realize that majors usually take precedence over minors, but...two HEARTS? Compare North's four, not strong hearts to his SIX quite decent diamonds.
Then later: FOUR DIAMONDS? REALLY?
And THEN...South...having already doubled and then bid (two) spades...and having heard his "partner" North show "four plus"...that's "FOUR...PLUS (!!!)" hearts (!)...AND "STRONG REBIDDABLE diamonds" (!!), South now bids four SPADES...thereby REbidding his short (in context), weak (in context), pathetic little "suit" of QJ1082...RATHER than bidding 4H. How many SPADES did this GIBBO jackass expect to find in dummy? The clueless oaf DESERVED to find NO spades and LOTS of red cards.
But yeah, GIBBO, by ALL means, go ahead and MANDATE this horror show of an auction. Go ahead and ADVISE innocent beginners that THIS is how to bid. How mind-bogglingly stupid!
A cliché comes to mind, something along the lines of what I think (?) Larry Cohen sometimes jokingly writes: "Please don't let my students see this".
