  • # 508: How to Get to Heaven from Belfast, The Walsh Sisters Dirty Business, The Lady
    Feb 24 2026

    Matt and Dawn are joined by TV fan Mo Walker, to review four new shows available to watch this week. Firstly, Lisa McGee, the creator of Derry Girls is back with a brand new twisty comedic thriller in Netflix's surprising series, How to Get to Heaven of Belfast.

    Next, also set in Ireland, the foursome watch the gentle drama, The Walsh series. The series is the sort of family kitchen sink drama that the team are always hoping TV would return to, but does the RTE series deliver for them?

    Next, ITV has a new true story four-parter for Sunday nights. The Lady, about the mystery surrounding The Dutchess of York's dresser. The series is elevated by strong lead performance from Mia Mckenna Bruce who was last seen elevating Netflix's Agatha Christie adaptation, The Seven Dials.

    Lastly, Dawn struggles to get through Channel 4's docudrama, Dirty Buisness which takes a dramatic look at water companies polluting Britain's waterways.

  • # 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+
