David and Lisa are back to their regular programming - leaving Lake Geneva for Bath!  This episode centres on Jane Austen’s 'Northanger Abbey' as part of their celebration of Austen's 250th birthday. They discuss the book's themes, particularly its satire of gothic novels and defense of reading, and its portrayal of the naive heroine, Catherine Morland. The hosts also review the 2007 and 1987 adaptations, highlighting performances by Felicity Jones and JJ Feild in the former and the bizarre elements of the latter.
