  • # 507: Lord of the Flies, Small Prophets, Betrayal, The Muppet Show
    Feb 10 2026

    Matt and Dawn are joined by Ruthie Nugent to review four brand new shows available this week. Beginning with the BBC's impressive adaptation of Lord of Flies. Written by Adolescence writer Jack Thorne, his four-part take on the classic story almost plays like a sequel to the Netflix series. Next, ITV have another paint-by-numbers spy drama in Betrayal, a four-part thriller about spy which choses to tell the least interesting parts of its own story.

    Next, we loved Detectorists and Small Prophets, the new gentle comedy from Mackenzie Crook feels as if it comes from the same world and that can only be the a good thing. It's the story of a man, mourning the loss of his girlfriend, stuck in a job he hates, just trying to get by, full of gentle humour that immediately warms you to the characters.

    Finally, Dawn gets the chance to share her love of the Muppets as the iconic series is rebooted by Disney+

  • # 506: Shrinking, Under the Salt Marsh, Take That, The Beauty,
    Feb 3 2026

    Matt, Dawn and Sarah are back to review four new shows available this week. First, Apple's sweet comedy Shrinking is back for its long-awaited third season and proves yet again what an incredible performer Harrison Ford is and how special that cast is. Next, Kelly Riley and Timothy Spall star in Sky Atlantic's new dark crime drama Under The Salt Marsh. It's a story of a town coming to terms with the death of a young child, unfortunately, the accents and a tough lead character make it a more distracting experience than it should be. Next, Ryan Murphy is at it again with his new Disney+ Hulu series, The Beauty. It's a strange show that sees two FBI agents investigating a cluster of people literally exploding after undergoing a new procedure to achieve attractiveness. Lastly, Netflix has a new docuseries on Britain's first real boyband, Take That, but is the way the series decides to tell their story satisfying?

    Lastly, Matt challenges his co-hosts to name as many nominees in the best supporting Comedy role at the Emmys. How many could you name?
