Latest Episodes

It’s a Slow Horses special (kind of) this week as not only do we review the show’s fifth series but both Christopher Chung (Roddy Ho) and Ruth Bradley (Emma Flyte) are guests, with Ruth dropping into the studio mid-record almost as if she’d just been... more

We’re in Coldwater this week as Andrew Lincoln and writer David Ireland discuss the new ITV thriller (23:55-44:34). Plus Kay asks the question as to whether we take TV (or film, or book) recommendations from other people. And then there’s this week’s... more

We are nominally back to normal this week, meaning we’re all in the studio and the YouTube cameras are back on. And a good thing too as we take on HBO crime thriller Task (55:00), the fifth season of Only Murders In The Building on Disney+ (1:12:15) ... more

We’re back to a semblance of normality this week, except for James being in Florida and having to dial in remotely, but that doesn’t stop us taking on the police with Sheridan Smith in I Fought The Law on ITV1, exploring upstairs/downstairs relations... more

  • Best TV review podcast

    Perfect podcast for TV lovers and so far the only one out there of its quality.

    Even though they talk down to James Dyer too much and at some point it stops being funny and is just bullying, and every time they mention „true crime“ or „reality“ TV I want to cut my ears off and set my phone on fire.

    But other than that … 😘

  • Terf friends

    Several times they’ve called Amanda Abbington a “friend of the pod”, they wax lyrical about Gervais’s output (I think they’re also pals). And as soon as they start drooling over the new Potter series I’ll probably stop listening.

  • Sadly cancelled my plus subscription

    Have been listening for years and a plus subscriber for I think 3 years. However, it has become so niche and political that it just doesn’t do what it says on the tin anymore. You will only hear the views you expect from each of the reviewers and only their niche preferences will be reviewed. Or appreciated. So I need to seek my recommendations elsewhere sadly.

  • Err… Who anybody?

    This show is only good for knowing what’s coming up and to be fair it does have good (if very sycophantic) interviews). But if you want balanced reviews of shows look elsewhere as it’s absent here.

    What I find most annoying is that we recently had to listen to Boyd wax lyrical about Dr. Who. This was annoying for several reasons not least that there is a loose mantra of not reviewing shows that are several seasons in and yet here we are at season 2/14/41 and it was mentioned weekly.
