  • This is not TVs Top 5 - reviews have been co-opted

    ‘I’m having an episode’ appeared on my device after hijacking the RSS feed for TVs Top Five. I see the healthy review score has been hijacked too. A reminder that TVs Top Five ended because at least one of the contributors was made redundant, shame on you for coasting on another pods hard earned reputation and built in listener base.

  • Noooooo!

    Sad to see the Pod go away, wish Dan, even though he can be a bit much at times, and Lesley would produce one independently and keep it going… unfortunately the farewell episode I do not believe loaded correctly so it cut off at the 21 Minute mark. Let’s hope we get more as it’s the best source for industry info available.
