Andor, Étoile, and Carême. With guest Charlotte Ritchie

I Jack Wright, Fake, and Doctor Who ‘Lux’ spoiler discussion. With guest David Oyelowo
With James away this week, it’s down to Boyd and Kay to take the helm and bang on about the week’s big TV but in a shock move, they admit James rewatching shows he’s seen thousands of times before is actually, dare we say it, a GOOD thing. More importantly, David Oyelowo is our guest, chatting all things Government Cheese (that’s the title of his new Apple TV+ show, not a dietary preference), and we review Fake, an Aussie true-life drama which triggers Kay’s dating experience memories, the whodunnit I, Jack Wright from Chris Lang of Unforgotten fame, and in a final twist, Boyd does a mini-spoiler special review of Doctor Who series 2, ep 2 ‘Lux’ because it deserves special treatment!(Episode 333)

The Last Of Us, The Stolen Girl, and Government Cheese. With guests Charlie Brooker and Jessica Rhodes
Yes, it’s time for James to bang on about The Last Of Us again (sorry) but that’s okay, because we have Charlie Brooker and Jessica Rhodes on the show to balance things out by talking Black Mirror Season 7 (37:05). Aside from forcing Kay to watch more ‘zomzies’ in The Last Of Us (on Sky Atlantic), we also head over to Disney+ to watch Denise Gough take part in the playdate from hell in The Stolen Girl (1:28:19) and take a slightly surreal look at the world of self-sharpening drill bits (stay with us) in Government Cheese on Apple TV+ (1:39:46).
