In a change from our normal episode we've each pieced together our dream TV schedule for a day of self isolation. We start around 9am and finish around 12pm and it's a ramshackle, drunken affair. Mistakes will be made, odd TV selections complained about, and you'll feel like you've spent the day with us too.
