Oh, the nineties, the decade of crime drama that just keeps giving! Touching Evil is at the gritty end of the scale and has all the tropes we have come to know and roll our eyes at. There is bad arterial spray, good arterial spray, creepy killers, and very low lighting. And at the end of this episode you may understand why we have only been communicating with each other via Jimmy Nesbitt gifs all week. This wasn't our favourite, but at least we have Robson Green's "piercing blue eyes", and "sexual charisma" (not our words) to help us along the way.

Pour a tumbler of whiskey and let's get yelling at that murder board!

This episode contains descriptions of fictionalised violence, and, of course, is full of SPOILERS.

Our next episode will be on The Inspector Lynley Mysteries, season one, episode two, "Payment in Blood." This is available on BBC Iplayer in the UK, on Britbox and HBO Max in the US, and on Britbox and Hoopla in Australia.

Welcome to our FIFTIETH EPISODE! (Not including bonus or interimming etc.)

This milestone completely passed us by when we were recording this. Never mind. Onwards!

Kerry Godliman plays our heroine, Pearl Nolan, and there is a suitable amount of silliness on offer in Whitstable Pearl. However, we'd had a couple of little drinkies and get waylaid along some tangents. We discuss bad crisp flavours, Lex's inability to relax wearing clothes, appropriate wedding canopes, DIY fails, and how to kill someone with an oyster.

Also, if you do want to make your own decking (please episode forty nine, "London Kills") all you will need is precut wood and an impact driver.

This episode contains descriptions of fictionalised violence, and is of course, full of SPOILERS.

Our next epsiode will be on "Touching Evil", season two, episodes one and two. These are available on ITVX in the UK, on Apple and Prime in the US, and on 7plus in Australia.

*The version that we initially published was dodgy - nowt untoward, but Lily's track blanked out for 15 mins. Maybe you'd prefer it like this? Anyway, this version should be complete. Apols!*

London Kills... a great tagline for our capital city? Possibly not, but not a bad programme as it turns out.

A body is found under some decking in the garden of a student house in Camden. A STUDENT house. In CAMDEN. With a GARDEN. Forget the murder, this is a mystery that needs investigating.

The plot trips along at a merry old rate and we have big hair, creeps in suits, murder, betrayal, and some badly built decking. Enjoy!

You also get to listen in on our process when it comes to selecting what programmes to watch. It is a peek behind the scenes into our ordered and methodical brains, no less. Lucky you.

This episode contains descriptions of fictionalised violence, and, of course, is full of SPOILERS.

Our next episode is on "Whitstable Pearl", season two, episode six, "To Those We Love." This is available on "U" in the UK, on Acorn and Prime in the US, and Foxtel and 9Now in Australia.
