Hey beaus and boos! There's a song stuck in our heads, and after listening to this, it'll be stuck in yours, too - if it isn't already.

Also, you're in for a treat, because we're talking to excellent actor and even-more-excellent person, Gemma Whelan.

Heyyyy! We all made it through January (touch wood, there's still a day and a bit to go. Oh no. What if we've TEMPTED FATE?), and we're thrilled to bring you Kitty Flanagan - creator and star of 'Fisk' on Netflix - all the way from Melbourne, Australia. We had some tech issues, and the sound is a bit ropier than usual, but it used to take 18 months to get episodes of 'Neighbours' from down under to the UK, so it's a miracle, really. Don't be ungrateful!

HEY CUTIE-CUTIES, we're back for more in '24 and we're in love, we're in love and we don't care who knows it! Before you get the ick, this isn't about our marriage, it's an incredible new three-part documentary series (as recommended by Natalie Gold - GOLD! Always believe in your soul - on last week's episode.)

Plus, we talk to a YOUNGSTER. Yes, that's right: We cut across many demographics. It's Kat Sadler, creator and star of BBC Three's 'Such Brave Girls'. She's funny, she's talented, she's on the up and up - by rights we should hate her, but she's just so damned likeable. We're filing for adoption.

It's the festive perineum, and what do the other podcasts do? Phone-it-in with rehashed clips and lazy ask-us-anythings. Not us! We're phoning-it-in by getting some of our favourite guests to voice-note their binge-watch recommendations for these lazy days. Succession's Justine Lupe and Natalie Gold, stand-up hero Nish Kumar, The Buccaneers' Katherine Jakeways, Breeders' Chris Addison and Full Circle's Ed Solomon all weigh in with TV picks. PLUS! We play Succession Prop and Costume Auction Price Is Right.

Ho! Ho! Ho! Merrrrrrry Christmas. Overindulge on this bumper-length episode, featuring a whistlestop tour of our festive favourites. PLUS Craig Cash (co-creator: The Mrs Merton Show, The Royle Family, Early Doors) is here to talking about a new documentary about his friend and collaborator, the much-missed Caroline Aherne, which is airing on Christmas Day on BBC Two.

Geoff considers himself to be Craig's protégé (not that Craig has ever given any indication of that, and neither is it evidenced in Geoff's career), they go back a longgggg way, so we're treating you to a long chat. And an even longer one on Patreon.

May your days be merry and bright!

Love,

Hi! Sorry we're late. We're fine. Honestly. Don't worry about us. Everything's okay. WHY AREN'T YOU ASKING IF WE'RE ALRIGHT?

We're here now, and we've watched that show you've been banging on about. Plus, we talk to Harry and Jack Williams, creators of 'Boat Story' and SO much other fine television - what curriculum vitaes! (Curriculae vitums?)
