#52 - Temple, Unbelievable, and Top Boy Sep 09, 2019

Show notes

This week we take a look at Mark Strong's mob doctor drama Temple, join Toni Collette for true-crime drama Unbelievable, and get in touch with our inner East End gangsters for Netflix's Drake-starring thriller Top Boy. Also on the podcast this week we've been beset by gremlins! Not literally, of course, but rather the technical kind that meant guest presenter Amon's microphone decided to misbehave. Thanks to some postproduction tinkering, though, we've managed to make him audible but apologies for the fact that one member of our trio does sound like he's at the bottom of a fish tank.

#51 - The Capture, A Confession, The Loudest Voice, and State Of The Union. Featuring Cara Delevingne and Orlando Bloom Sep 02, 2019

Show notes

Cara Delevingne and Orlando Bloom join us on the podcast this week for a bit of fairy chat (31:00-38:31), plus we get stuck into no less than *four* new shows. Specifically, CCTV thriller The Capture, Roger Ailes/Fox News origin story The Loudest Voice, ITV's A Confession, and bite-sized marital strife comedy State Of The Union. Plus we reveal the fate of Funny Or Dyer and Terri goes off on one about the ubiquity of Delbert Wilkins.

#50: Carnival Row, The Affair, The Dark Crystal: Age Of Resistance Aug 27, 2019

Show notes

With James Dyer off in America (you might have read about his adventures in Newsweek, or The Daily Mail), Ben Travis slides smoothly into James' vacant seat for this week's episode, joining regular incumbents Terri White and Boyd Hilton for an episode that tackles Orlando Bloom-Cara Delevingne fantasy show, Carnival Row; the Ruth Wilson and Joshua Jackson-free fifth season of The Affair; and the return of the dread Skeksis in puppet-based prequel, The Dark Crystal: Age Of Resistance. They also talk about all the TV news that came out of Disney's D23 convention and, weakened by James' absence, fail to prevent an invasion of the podbooth by an interloper who shall remain nameless, but who wants just one thing: to talk about Blue Bloods. Will this interloper succeed? Find out in this week's episode. Enjoy.

#49 - Peaky Blinders, Brassic, and Sanditon Aug 19, 2019

Show notes

The dream team is back together this week as Terri returns from her travels just in time to wax lyrical about Joe Gilgun's Lancashire-set comedy, Brassic. We also delve into the world of Jane Austen with Sanditon and entirely fail to watch the third season of 13 Reasons Why as Netflix didn't show it to us in time. None of that matters, though, as the BBC came through and let us catch up with Tommy Shelby's latest escapades in series 5 of Peaky Blinders.

#48 - Succession, NOS4A2, and Deep Water. Featuring guest host Roisin Conaty Aug 11, 2019

Show notes

With Terri on holiday this week, we're thrilled to welcome comedian Roisin Conaty as our guest co-host. The GameFace creator, writer and star joins James and Boyd to chew over everything from Netflix's cancellation of The OA to the twisted genius of The Boys and why This Life was one of the most important shows ever made. Roisin schools James soundly on the essence of comedy during a particularly in-depth Funny Or Dyer, Banshees Blossom and is generally delightful. In addition to upping the star power this week, we dive into the new season of Succession, ITV's Deep Water and the grammatically problematic NOS4A2.

#47 - Euphoria, This Way Up, and GLOW. Featuring Gemma Chan & Dominic Savage Aug 05, 2019

Show notes

Gemma Chan and Dominic Savage stop by the podcast this week to chat about I Am Hannah (26:56 - 49:23), which airs on Tuesday night. Meanwhile, we feast our eyes upon Aisling Bea's new comedy This Way Up, and get in the ring with the final season of GLOW. Plus, we finally come face-to-face with HBO's Euphoria and its vast collection of erect penises. Enjoy!

#46 - I Am The Night, Manifest, and Fosse/Verdon Jul 29, 2019

Show notes

On the podcast this week we're playing catch-up with our American cousins as we finally get the chance to watch three shows that have already debuted across the pond. Specifically, True crime adaptation I Am The Night, plane-orientated supernatural mystery series Manifest and Emmy-nominated danceathon Fosse/Verdon. Plus we finally get a chance to dissect the Comic-Con reveals (don't panic, James mercifully keeps the Picardsplaining to a minimum) and we get into some spirited (spoiler-free) discussion about the Big Little Lies finale.

#45 - I Am, The Boys, and Orange Is The New Black Jul 22, 2019

Show notes

On this week's podcast we not only get bowled over by Dominic Savage's I Am series but also take a look beneath the capes of seedy superheroes in Amazon's The Boys and bid adieu to Orange Is The New Black. And yes, Terri finally watched Downton Abbey. The results may well surprise you... Note: This episode was recorded before San Diego Comic-Con, which is why you'll notice a conspicuous lack of related Picard and Marvel chat. Apologies.

#44 - Deadly Class, Better Things, And GameFace Jul 15, 2019

Show notes

On the podcast this week find out if Terri did indeed complete the Downton challenge, why James is apparently some kind of smug podcast giraffe, which famousness Boyd had tea with and, lest we forget, what the team thought of this week's trio of (spoiler: very good) shows, specifically: Deadly Class, Better Things and GameFace.

#43 - Poldark, Divorce, and Dark Money Jul 08, 2019

Show notes

It's all floppy hair and bare chests this week as we catch up with the latest goings on in 18th century Cornwall in the new series of Poldark. Plus there's marital strife from HBO's Divorce and a look at the more sinister side of Hollywood in the BBC's Dark Money. Plus we have another Banshee face-off and Terri - against her better judgement - makes a binding commitment to watch Downton Abbey.
