FRIDAY SPRINKLES: S4 EP8

Sara Barron&nbsp;(Live at the Apollo; Would I Lie to You?) and husband Geoff Lloyd (Reasons to Be Cheerful; Absolute Radio, BBC Radio 5 Live) attempt to answer the biggest question of our time: Are you watching anything good at the moment? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

TV & Film

Välkommen and bienvenue, welcome! We've been poring over this year's BAFTA TV award winners. Yay for Sarah Phelps and 'The Sixth Commandment'! But how did the UK television industry honour the swansong of 'Succession' - its finest export? NUL POINTS! We watched the show that usurped Business Throne.
PLUS: The Eurovision party isn't over. We talk to James Rogan, the man behind the new documentary, 'ABBA: Against The Odds'.

Stab It. Eat It. Yum. And James Rogan (ABBA: Against The Odds)

It's Cineaste Week! We don't know how it happened (we DO know how it happened) but this week we're all films, all the time. All available on your TV screen, of course. We watched one light confection, one terror-scape, and maaaaaaybe the best thing we've seen since Succession?
Also, this week's guest is the wonderful Ashley Storrie, co-writer and star of the BBC hit Dinosaur.

Olive Oil, Salt, Pepper, Quaker Oats. And Ashley Storrie (DINOSAUR)

We're baaaaaaaaack! Say this to yourself OR passers-by in the style of Poltergeist II.
We love all our guests equally, of course, but this week's is extra spesh because - HELLO - it's Succession writer and showrunner of The Regime, Will Tracy! We have an exciting connection, and the discovery of that connection, during the interview, was a major podcast highlight. 
Plus: Sara roleplays being a Deliverer of Hard Truths and Geoff confronts his fears about Unfrosted

My Dad's Old Bod. And Will Tracy (THE REGIME)

Sara has tonsillitis - she's on antibiotics and complete vocal rest. She had a fever dream where she was drawn towards the light, but spotted her late grandmother on the other side and fled.
So, it's a truncated episode this week (a semisode?): An interview we'd already recorded before she was struck down. And what an interview! It's Andy Milligan, writer of The Sopranos of shiny-floor entertainment TV - Ant & Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway.

Edited by Annabel Port, who is in rude health.

Interview-only Semisode Because Sara is Sick: Andy Milligan (ANT & DEC'S SATURDAY NIGHT TAKEAWAY)

Happy birthday to our son, who's eight today. He'll never read this, although he was recently overheard saying, "Mom can't decide what she's doing for her quick watch". Kids these days! Etc.
This week it's our great pleasure to speak to Rockerdale Studios creative director, Stu Richards, and head of production, Michelle Singer, about their SMASH HIT The Assembly. You're not living life to the fullest if you haven't seen this show, and you know we don't say that lightly. 
Plus: a master-class in martial passive-aggression, Ripley (finally!), and boundaries, baby, BOUNDARIES.
