The podcast which discusses movies, books and TV shows in their entirety – without fear of spoilers. Presented by Paul Tyler with regular guest reviewers Rachael Burnett and Andy Goulding and produced by Johnathan Haw.
This week weâre watching the first series of Mackenzie Crookâs 2014 sitcom âDetectoristsâ and, perhaps predictably, itâs a complete love-in. With no-one willing to criticise such a brilliant series just for the sake of it, Andy talks about how the show made him almost glad to have a cold, Rachael tells of how she overcame her initial misgivings about where the romantic subplot was heading and Paul once again proves that his aversion to recommendations is doing him more harm than good. The team discuss an encouraging trend towards more progressive attitudes in modern sitcoms and how âDetectoristsâ refusal to undercut moments of genuine sentiment make it a truly adorable series. Meanwhile, Paul manages to get in another reference to âHorrible Historiesâ. And just what is a âDetoctorateâ? Find out by downloading this episode.
Elsewhere, Andy takes an epic look at the more experimental side of sitcoms with reference to âI Love Lucyâ, âThe Dick Van Dyke Showâ, âMASHâ and âThe Young Onesâ.
