There's a lot going on this week as we catch up on the many big TV events of the past week, namely, Eurovision and the Baftas. Kelly has started watching Mood. Alex has started Colin from Accounts and Halt and Catch Fire (find out what these two programmes have in common!). Steven tells us about Cleopatra by way of warm up for his main feature this week, Rome.

Alex, talks us through new drama No Escape and doesn't get Kelly's comparison to the Beach (movie starring Leonardo DiCaprio) which makes her very sad.

On the 'deep dive' this week Alex takes us through what we can expect from this weekend's Baftas and on 'back to the future' Steven tells us about Welcome to Wrexham, a football documentary about the rise of Wrexham FC thanks to new Hollywood star oweners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney.

The dream team is back together this week and sharing what we've been watching, Alex and Steven have both been to the cinema. Alex champions Polite Society and Steven raves about John Wick 4 - be warned, it's not for the faint of heart. Kelly finished Blue Lights and binged Catastrophe.

On the 'deep dive' Alex tells us all about the new Bridgerton series aka Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story, which is actually a prequel focussing on the Queen. In 'back to the future' Steven uses the tenuous link of the coronation this weekend to tell us about the real Royle family. A British comedy classic, regardless of personal opinions this is an institution worth acknowledging - hear all the chat on this week's episode.

On Screen Babble this week Katie Conaglen joins us and we talk Succession (again but we have to!), Colin from Accounts and Steven tells us about his film viewing this week including Nobody and the classic Raging Bull on its 40th anniversary. Alex, although on annual leave this week, was super diligent and went out and interviewed David Weil, Showrunner on new Amazon Prime Video series Citadel. He tells him what it was like keeping track of the multiple layers and lies in the story, his hopes for what audiences will get from it and his take on news of writer strikes in the US.

Steven takes us back to the future with prison drama Time starring Sean Bean and Stephen Graham.

Enjoy the show!
