Time, Friends, Wheel of Time, Cunk on Earth and JFK: One Day in America

This week Steven has been rewatching some old Friends episodes following the passing of Matthew Perry. The team is sad to see him go for his work that impacted our lives but also for the way he helped other people in real life to deal with addiction issues. 

Steven has also been watching Time, as has Kelly, and they both have enjoyed it immensely. The second series of Jimmy McGovern's prison drama contains many a criticism of the system and poses some difficult questions. There are some stellar acting performances too, Bella Ramsey deserves particular mention for their excellent portrayal of a pregnant drug addict inmate Kelsey. You'll hear more of their thoughts on the podcast about whether the series might return too for a series three.

Simon Cutler joins the team today and he's been watching Cunk on Earth and Wheel of Time - two very different shows. Hear what Simon reckons of both.

Kelly also recommends the Amazon Prime documentary on women's rugby in England, No Woman, No Try, which looks at the challenges and progress within the sport.

On the 'deep dive' this week Steven's positive streak comes to a dismal end with his review of JFK: One Day in America - National Geographic's documentary to mark 60 years since the assasination.

Simon takes us 'back to the future' reviewing Garth Meranghi's Darkplace - a good one for the week that's in it and probably a lot less scary than much of what's on TV at the moment.
