'Tis the season! Not for Christmas, calm down, but for coughs and colds and all things poorly making. If you have been affected by one of these season snifflies you could do worse than curling up on the sofa with your lemsip and binge watch Shakespeare and Hathaway. There's marriage, betrayal, a disguise, lutes, and plenty of silly hats! Actually, plenty of costumes in general, so grab your doublet and hose, don your jerkin, and off we go!

At time of recording and publishing Shakespeare and Hathaway is available on BBC Iplayer in the UK, and Amazon Prime, and Britbox elsewhere in the world. 

Contains descriptions of fictionalised violence, and of course, SPOILERS.

Welcome to 2003! It’s Blue Murder with Caroline Quentin. There’s disembowelling, lots of laundry, some confusing logistics relating to a sanitary bin, and a potential attack using breadcrumbs. Truly, in the world of DCI Janine Lewis, danger really does lurk on every corner. 

We really enjoyed this one and we hope you do to. Apologies for the bit where we forget how to use the word “catharsis.” In our defence, we were very, very tired.  

At time of recording you are able to watch "Blue Murder" on ITVX in the UK. It’s also streaming on BritBox Amazon Channel, Sky Go, Amazon Prime Video or for free with ads on STV Player. It is also possible to buy "Blue Murder" as download on Apple TV, Amazon Video. 

This podcast contains mentions of fictionalised violence and is full of SPOILERS.

It's Bath, it's 2018, and, much to Lex's dismay, Robert Lindsay is breaking the fourth wall. 

There is a LOT to discuss in this episode, not least:

1. Why is Bath being treated as if it has seceded from the UK?
2. Why are the met police sent it to solve crimes EVERYWHERE?
3. Why would you commit a murder this way?? WHY???

And then there's the hats. So many hats.

Welcome to Denton: a world of child abduction, bank robbery, murder, and the slut shaming of a fourteen year old. It's fun!

It's a depressing dollop of gritty realism and despite hating it, we sort of loved it too. Join us, DI Frost, Linda Love, and more, as we journey together towards the  most grotesque barbecue ever shown on prime time tv. Buckle up, it's time for "A Touch of Frost."

(PS. We recorded this in the summer, hence the references to the "scorching" weather. We know it's autumn, you needn't call anyone.)

The one where Lily recorded in the kitchen and it sounds like she's in tin can. Join us as we dive head first into the unnerving world of Midsomer Murders! 

As usual with Midsomer there is a high body count, bizarre characters, and some fairly unpleasant twists. Unpleasant characters and bizarre twists? All of the above. 

Apologies for the rubbish sound; this really is as bad as it gets, so hang in there. 

But enough of that! Grab yourself an iced sombrero and get stuck in! 

At time of recording this episode was available on ITVX in the UK, and Britbox and Acorn TV in the US. 

This podcast contains descriptions of fictionalised violence, including mentions of suicide and incest. And, if you can stomach that, it's also got SPOILERS.

(please don't say better audio quality...we're working on it!)
