This week the Screen Babble teams share news on their latest watches. Steven ventured to All4 who have made available Servant of the People aka Ukrainian President, Volodymry Zelenskyy's sitcom from a few years back - and he loves it! Alex has been watching Daisy Jones & the Six, despite his self-confessed lack of knowledge of the 70s rock 'n' roll lifestyle - he too is enjoying this. Kelly hasn't been watching anything new but catching up on Julia to get her Sarah Lancashire fix, post-Happy Valley.

In the Deep Dive Steven talks to us about Django, new to Sky, and it's not good - but find out why. Alex takes us through 'the best British crime drama' of the last ten years as it approaches that big anniversary. Oh, and there's a quiz!!

This week the Screen Babble teams share news on their latest watches. Alex tells us about Hello Tomorrow and is still deep into his Luther/Sherlock bonanza. Steven takes us back to one of Robbie Coltrane's last lead roles in National Treasure and Kelly tells us about Netflix film The Swimmers amongst other things.

The deep dive this week comes from Alex. You and Me is the new ITV drama Alex has been hotly anticipating for quite a while but (spoiler alert) is very let-down by. Steven takes us back to the future with Years and Years which Kelly has been watching too - if you've not watched this before, or even if you did when it first came out - hear why you need to watch it again, now.

Finally this week, Nationaworld.com's sports reporter Susanna Really joins us to talk about Netflix's Drive to Survive - it's returning for a fifth series.

Kelly, Alex and Steven return to keep you right on your viewing journey. In their chat about what they've been watching there are both recommendations and strong 'avoids' discussed. Steven has been watching That's my Jam and we can confirm it definitely is not Steven's jam...he was happier with The Detectorists. Alex is persevering with Shrinking to no avail, he's watching Party Down in advance of a new series and of course, watched the Happy Valley finale. Kelly watched this too and they manage to take it apart with no spoilers - hooray! Kelly watched Pamela, a Love Story which she found kinda informative and Right Here, Right Now - the documentary about Fat Boy Slim's big gig on Brighton Beach in 2002 and found it kinda lacking but good for nostalgia purposes.

In the deep dive this week Alex tells us all about The Gold, starting on BBC1 next Sunday night. Steven gives us the low down on Scream Queens on Disney+ - spoiler alert he doesn't like the uber celeb appearances in this programme.

Thanks for listening.
