Screen Babble

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.

Another week, another TV onslaught...we love it. In what we've been watching we discuss everything from South Park, the covid specials to the Masked Singer. In-between we have Everyone Else Burns, Happy Valley, The Last of Us and more.

In our deep dive this week Alex tells us all about Extraordinary, an unconventional superhero sitcom, new to Disney+. And for back to the future this week we're talking all things Oscars - including questioning why some nominations were made at all.

On this episode of Screen Babble the team are bursting with views on everything that has been going down TV and streaming wise. First up Steven tells us about Zone of Interest which he saw at the cinema. Nominated for multiple awards at this year's Oscars and having picked up a BAFTA this week it's certainly one to check out. Hear Steven's thoughts on why it's so powerful.

Benji talks us through the BAFTAs from big wins, to firsts and stage invaders - so much to talk about it could take up a whole episode on its own.

Excitingly, Kelly met up with everyone's favourite not-bent TV copper Martin Compston and his pal Phil McHugh who have a brand new series out on BBC this week Martin Compston's Norwegian Fling. Kelly asks them about what they got up to and looks for an update on new Line of Duty.

On the deep dive this week, Benji explores the world of Avatar: The Last Airbender, a new Netflix adaptation.

Steven takes you back to the future with a very early 2000s Friends UK alternative - Coupling. All of which is available on BBC iPlayer.

Enjoy.

This week Benji get's us started with one of his favourites, yes, you guessed it, wrestling and why not? The team consider the phenomenon that is modern day wrestling. Phil has been watching new ITV drama Passenger, which he's still making his mind up about. A more reliable watch, he's been enjoying, again, is ER. We love ER.

Kelly started watching The Long Good Friday on Good Friday but fell asleep and was extended into Easter Saturday - she muses on the impact on the film. She's also started This Town which she believes is gonna be great - from Steven Knight who also made Peaky Blinders.

On the 'deep dive' this week Phil takes us through the new E4 show The Underdog: Josh Must Win - apparently a subversion of the reality show genre.

Finally, Benji tells us all about Man Down, a comedy starting Greg Davies and the late Rik Mayall - one for ages.
