Tea. Crumpets. Drinking water with a skin. The Queen (Elizabeth). Jammie Dodgers. Grey skies and brown waterways. What's more evocative of The Blues than Great Britain? This week Alisdair takes us through the cold, clinical New Orleans Blues of storied actor and all-around good guy Hugh Laurie. 

This week on Performance Review: The B-Man brings us to the center of an unlikely venn diagram that converges at 60s instrumental jazz, NCIS and Nate Dogg. 

This week the DQYDJ team wrestle with the moral conundrum that a Hollywood vanity project might actually be...okay? Like, obviously not great, but maybe...fine?

Performance Review is bite-sized DQYDJ portions served up every Monday.

Season one, episode one. The DQYDJ team tackles the musical pursuits of former Frasier star and now Money Plane-enthusiast, Kelsey Grammer.
