Elsewhere, we talk through the winners of this year’s Primetime Emmys, Steph reminisces about Mr T, James looks back at Deep Space Nine and there are many disagreements about this week’s reviews. Speaking of which, they are the aforementioned Youth (1:04:14), The Blame on ITV (1:17:33), and The Split UP on BBC1 (1:31:17).Note: time stamps are approximate as the ads throw them out, so are only meant as a guide.

In this week’s podcast we discover precisely why Steph is playing the new Harry Potter (and why you should never visit the zoo during a heatwave), we take a trip back to the ‘90s in search of reboot fodder, plus Boyd launches into an extended discussion of Bond themes (which apparently ties back in to TV somehow). Plus, we feast our eyes on the final series of Colin From Accounts (1:31:01), and head back to the Lords for the second season of Guy Ritchie’s The Gentlemen (1:46:54), not to mention welcoming two members of the SNL crew to the show (1:01:05-1:14:30).Note: time stamps are approximate as the ads throw them out, so are only meant as a guide.
