Screen Babble

Normally on Screen Babble Steven would be telling you what to watch this weekend and beyond, but considering we are nearing the end of 2022 we are looking ahead to next year and some of the major TV and streaming events ahead.

On this episode Steven gives a run down of the hotly anticipated programmes for next year including, The Apprentice, Fall of the House of Usher, Poker Face, Ashoka, Secret Invasion,Love Island, Big Brother,Eurovision and Gen V. 

We hope you'll join us in 2023 for more previews, reviews and debate!

Happy New Year!

On this episode we have once again ignored the rule book and we are bringing you our picks of the best telly of 2022. We loved putting this episode together to share the best of TV and streaming this year across lots of different genres.

You'll hear us chat about our best new series which included SAS Rogue Heroes, Make Me PM, This is Going to Hurt and Bad Sisters.

We talk about returning series and our picks for this category include Peaky Blinders, Bloods 2, Better Call Saul and Stranger Things.

Sadly, it has to be acknowledged, sometimes we end up watching some lemons - our sad shows of the year include Killing Eve and Always Sunny in Philadelphia - shocker.

Finally, we talk about hidden gems, our fave shows that didn't seem to be hitting the big time, these include Hacks, Minx and The Split.

We cover about 20 shows in this podcast so we hope you'll find something new you'll love too.

Happy New Year to all our listeners - see you in early January to dissect all that viewing we're gonna do over the holidays!

Kelly, Alex and Steven

This week we've thrown the rule book out and we're focussing on what cannot be avoided - Christmas telly!

We start with our Christmas movie recommendations - Joyeux Noel, How the Grinch stole Christmas Nativity! and more.

Then to our Christmas 'institutions' the kind of telly you can't go without at Christmas which includes the soaps, The Snowman but not the King's speech as it happens.

Finally we talk about the new stuff, what's coming up and spans many genres, this includes; the BBC Panto, the Smeds and the Smoos, Treason, Mayflies and the hotly anticipated Happy Valley.

We hope this helps with some of those all-important festive viewing choices (or arguments!).

Happy Christmas from team Screen Babble!
