  • 3 * for Richard alone, for the bits where he doesn't get constantly cut off or just talked over. Richard isn't over opinionated either. Have stopped listening due to this despite the often very interested content as its too frustrating

  • Murder

    Have I missed it, or will there be a review of the film The Thursday Murder Club? Would love to hear what Richard thinks of a film murdering his book.

  • What a disappointment!

    Oh dear! Ohhh dear! I selected this podcast because I found Richard so entertaining and funny on the quiz show he did with that other English guy. But this turns out to be less about ‘entertainment’ and more about politics - and with a very clear anti-Trump bias😟 Marina, especially, needs to check her prejudices and stick to verifiable fact - not opinion. She’s a journalist, right?

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Strictly's Secret Weapon
Q: How challenging is it for musicians like Dave Arch on 'Strictly Come Dancing' to edit songs for their performances?
It's quite challenging. Musicians frequently have to adjust songs throughout the week as they work closely with dancers to meet specific choreography needs, often leading to stressful but professional performances on live shows.
Strictly's Secret Weapon
Q: What actually goes on in the editing room of a show like 'Dragon's Den'?
Editors piece together narratives from footage, aiming to create a compelling story that engages viewers and highlights the most important aspects of the pitch and responses from the dragons.
Strictly's Secret Weapon
Q: Who should be the most concerned about their future in Hollywood regarding 'The Smashing Machine'?
Dwayne Johnson likely does not need to be worried about his future as he will return to bigger films next year. Neither A24 nor director Benny Safdie should be overly concerned either, as they have established work in the industry.
Ben Elton on Blackadder, Rik Mayall & The Joy of Writing
Q: What is your advice to anyone who wants to create something?
You have to believe that a life as an artist means accepting disappointment to pursue it.
Ben Elton on Blackadder, Rik Mayall & The Joy of Writing
Q: How much money would a streamer need to offer yourself, Richard Curtis and Rowan Atkinson, to make another Blackadder series?
It is not a question of money; we are all comfortable and it was a labor of love 40 years ago.
