    A Little Hat with a Big Old Brim. And Marnie Dickens (WILDERNESS)

    HI BABES! We're back to depress you with what we did on our tenth wedding anniversary, and to tell you what's worth your attention on the teevz. We also talk to writer, Marnie Dickens, who has:
    a) A snazzy shirt
    b) The number one show on Amazon Prime Video in the UK: Wilderness, starring Jenna Coleman.
    Plus, Sara attempts to start not one, but two movements.

    I Like My Nose. And Nish Kumar (YOUR POWER, YOUR CONTROL)

    I Like My Nose. And Nish Kumar (YOUR POWER, YOUR CONTROL)

    It's your favourite young lovers, on the cusp of our tenth wedding anniversary, taking time away from gazing into each other's eyes to gaze into the TV - and tell you whether you should watch what we've been watching.
    Our guest is Nish Kumar, stand-up comedian - as the French would say - by excellence. His new special 'Your Power, Your Control' is available on Sky/Now TV. Sara's name appears in the credits, SPELLED INCORRECTLY. What will happen when Nish is confronted? Clickbait!

    An Inappropriate Amulet. And Kates McLennan & McCartney (DEADLOCH)

    HIYA! In this week's watchings: Sara attempts to be more broadminded about polyamory, Geoff scavenges for Succession crumbs, we disagree about a new horror/fantasy series (but admire the sartorial choices), AND - live from another hemisphere - we're joined by the brilliant Kate McCartney and Kate McLennan, creators of Deadloch.

    Very Rectangular Heads. And Sterlin Harjo (RESERVATION DOGS)

    Very Rectangular Heads. And Sterlin Harjo (RESERVATION DOGS)

    You told us to watch Reservation Dogs, we over-delivered: We bring you its creator, Sterlin Harjo. Now that's worth the podcast showing up a few hours later than usual, right? (If you didn't notice, pls disregard, Thanks.)
    Plus religious ritual nepo-comedy, a re-run of the space race, and we pick up what the J-Dog put down last week.

    Your favourite cute thrupple reunites to give patrons of the world's largest arts festival a bit of a show. Plus, back at home, we follow up on one of Sarah Phelps' recommendations, and Sara does a good friend a nepo-favour. It takes a turn.

From strength to strength

Thanks, guys, for growing this from a modest fan podcast to the behemoth it’s become - while being brilliantly funny throughout. Looking forward to your next podcast adventure

Really???

Homophobia is never funny and especially not in the tailgate episode rehash, disappointing that you think so, having gay friends doesn’t give you permission. Only recently discovered this podcast but shan’t listen anymore.
