Original host of the podcast, Luke, joins Matt and Dawn to review four new shows available this week. Firstly, there's queer coming of age drama What It Feels Like a Girl from BBC Three. Followed by cosy crime drama Death Valley starring Timothy Spall as a beloved TV detective who is coaxed out of his hermit lifestyle when a murder happens on his doorstep. Next, Apple TV+ continues their raft of 'nice guy comedy' with Owen Wilson golf comedy Stick. Lastly, the team feel too old for Disney+ FX comedy Adults about a group of Gen Z friends. There's also discussion of Hacks, Doctor Who, The Handmaid's Tale and Dawn quizzes us boys on cast members from Line of Duty.    

Matt and Luke board the TV Time Machine to look at the TV landscape of May 2000. Steven Moffat's relationship comedy Coupling begins on BBC Two. David Baddiel and Frank Skinner take to a sofa for their new format which sees them sit in front of an audience with no plans of what they're going to discuss, Baddiel & Skinner Unplanned. Guy Ritchie rides the success of Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels to bring Lock Stock... to the small screen with a less charismatic cast. There's also a new sci-fi anthology Urban Gothic, which might be one of the worst things ever watched on the podcast. 

Matt is joined by regular contributors Dawn Glen and Mo Walker to review four new shows available this week. First, there's the second season of Rian Johnson's exquisite procedural Poker Face, which finally returns after a long wait. Next, the BBC has their take on the Lockerbie disaster in the calmly told The Bombing of Pan Am 103. On ITV, there's new crime drama Code of Silence, whilst on Apple TV +, there's an adaptation of the Murderbot book series. There's also discussion around the surprises at the BAFTA's as well as a new TV quiz to finish which will have you screaming as you listen!

In a change of pace, Matt is joined by Luke to assess how they are feeling about the TV we've had so far this year. Has it been a good year so far? Have there been many original hits? Have the returning favourites lived up to expectations? Can terrestrial television still be part of the conversation? Enjoy this free flowing conversation between two TV lovers.

Matt, Dawn and Mo are back to review the new shows available this week. On ITV, there's a second series of medical thriller Malpractice. It's an odd show to bring back given that it wasn't a big show or overly discussed but it would appear that ITV are hoping this will be a returning series featuring a team who are brought in to investigate medical malpractice. On Prime Video, Amy Sherman Paladino is back for ballet drama Étoile. As a big fan of the Gilmore Girls, Bunheads and The Marvellous Mrs Maisel, how to the trio feel about this new show which sees fictional dance schools in New York and Paris swap dancers. Finally, on Netflix, there's relationship drama The Four Seasons which sees three couple spend four holidays together. Spoiler, its one of the warmest and surprising shows of the year with a great cast which includes Tina Fey, Colman Domingo and Steve Carell.  There's also discussion on Doctor Who, Race Across the World, Andor and Hacks.

Matt and Luke hop back aboard their TV Time Machine to look at the TV landscape of April 2000. On ITV, there's comedy Bob Martin, starring Michael Barrymore who somewhat spoofs his own career as a narcistic game show Bob Martin. On the BBC Two, Louis Theroux gets to know Jimmy Saville in a documentary that has come to dominate Theroux's career. On Channel 4, there's Paul Abbott's bold but baffling two-part drama,  The Secret Life of Michael Fry about a council worker who finds himself out of his depth in a Welsh town. Finally, Luke gets quizzed on the charts of the time.

Matt, Dawn and Sarah review new Sky Max travelogue Joe Lycett's United States of Birmingham, which gives Sarah the opportunity to talk eloquently about the city she loves.  Then, Unforgotten writer Chris Lang has a new mystery series on U&Alibi featuring a ton of familiar faces. There's also a sweet hidden gem in Canadian drama North of North which is now available on Netflix.

Matt and Dawn are joined by Doctor Who superfan Suky to discuss the second series of Russell T Davies' take on the iconic character. They also review an episode of the seventh series of Black Mirror which is available on Netflix. Finally, a show that the team genuinely can't get their heads around with quirky Apple TV+ show Government Cheese. There's also discussion on the best show to return this week, season 4 of Max comedy Hacks.

Dawn and Mo join Matt to review 4 shows available this week. First, the BBC's latest tense crime drama entitled Reunion, the shows centres around a deaf man being released from Prison. Next, Michelle Williams and Jenny Slate shine in brand new Disney+ dramedy, Dying for Sex. Based on the podcast of the same name, it centres around a woman who goes on a journey of sexual exploration following a diagnosis of Stage 4 Breast Cancer. Next, over on BBC and iPlayer, Ben Miller and Sally Philips star in gentle Aussie comedy Austin, which sees Miller's character learning his has a son with autism. Finally, on Apple TV+, John Hamm is back in suave businessman mode in Your Friends and Neighbours.

Dawn and Tyler join Matt to review the week's notable TV. First, BBC One's gangster drama This is City is Ours starring Sean Bean. Next, Netflix's lavish comedy murder mystery from Shondaland, The Residence. Then, Apple lampoons Hollywood in Seth Rogen's comedic satire The Studio. Finally, the trio breaks down the Season 2 finale of Severance discussing where the show could go from here.

Matt and Dawn are joined by the original Custard TV podcaster, Gary Redrup to review 3 shows available this week.   They begin with the truly staggering Netflix drama series Adolescence, which might be the most discussed and praised British drama in a very long time. It is a marvel in both writing and filmmaking. All 4 episodes are filmed in one single shot. It's a truly incredible achievement. Next, over on ITV, they take a look at Protection, a new disposable thriller and on Apple TV+, there's limited series Dope Thief.

Luke and Matt board the TV Time Machine to view the TV landscape of March 2000. Ross Kemp signs a 'golden handcuffs deal' with ITV to work for solely for that broadcaster. The result, at least initially, is a single drama entitled Hero of the Hour, which stars Kemp as a security guard who unwittingly becomes a hero when he foils a robbery.  On the BBC, Reeves and Mortimer revive classic TV show Randall and Hopkirk (deceased) whilst on Channel 4, they're still pushing boundaries with their comedy output. Firstly, a new project from Chris Morris, JAM, which plays more as an uncomfortable art piece than it does a comedy. Meanwhile, fresh from his debut on the 11'o'clock show, Sacha Baron Cohen's comedy creation Ali G gets his own show. It's a mixed bag of shows.  

Mo Walker and Dawn Glen join Matt to review four new shows available this week. On Netflix, Jack Thorne's tackles the little-known story of what happened to mothers who gave birth to babies with birth defects in the Northamptonshire town of Corby in four-part drama Toxic Town. Channel 4 has new crime drama, Get Millie Black, which sees a British African detective head back to Africa to track down her trans sister whilst also investigating the case of a missing girl. Alibi has their own take on '80s mainstay Bergerac and over on Sky and NOWTV, there's quirky comedy drama Small Town Big Story from Chris O'Dowd.

Matt and Luke hop aboard their TV Time Machine to view the TV landscape of February 2000. EastEnders turns 15 with a double episode which sees the residents of Albert Square locked in the Vic when an unexploded WW2 bomb discovered nearby. The BBC try their at a traditonal American sitcom, with audience laughter and a team of writers producing the Ardal O'Hanlan superhero comedy My Hero. In better comedy, a fresh-faced, but very astute and already polished northern comedian, Peter Kay gets his first full series in Channel 4's That Peter Kay Thing. The series, in which Kay plays a variety of different characters, is done in the docusoap style popular at the time, and the lads watch two episodes of the series. The first of which would become Kay's hit sitcom, Phoenix Nights. Lastly, there's gritty drama Nature Boy, which aired on the BBC and starred Lee Ingelby as a teen who was living in an abusive foster environment who finds he has an affinity with wildlife.  And, as always, Matt tests Luke's knowledge of the UK music scene of the time.

In this bonus episode - Matt, Dawn and Mo discuss Eastenders' 40th anniversary week including the live episode. Topics include Mo's Eastenders origin story and Dawn's love of people acting whilst trapped under beams.  As ever please let us know if you like this bonus and whether you would like similar episodes in the future. 

TV Insider Paul Symonds joins Matt and Dawn to review 4 of the biggest shows available this week. Firstly, it's the return of Mike White's HBO anthology series The White Lotus, set at another luxurious resort this time in Thailand. The podcast trio look into what makes the show so successful and drills into the big themes of the opening episode.  Next up, a starry cast does not an interesting drama make as they look at political thriller Zero Day from Netflix. The series, which boasts a lead performance by Robert De Niro feels rather odd given the current state of American politics.  Over on Disney+, there's period drama A Thousand Blows from prolific TV scribe Steven Knight which has been promoted as the 'Stephen Graham Boxing drama' but is actually something much more interesting. Finally, the only BBC offering this week is Dope Girls, similar in tone to 'Blows' this gritty period piece promises a lot but does it deliver? There's also discussion on Sky's Mussolini drama, the final episodes of Big Boys on Channel 4 and ITV's Unforgotten.  

Matt, Dawn and Sarah are back to review three shows we've always championed. Firstly, Sanjeev Bhaskar packs his backpack for series 6 of the jewel in ITV's crown Unforgotten. He returns along with new colleague Jessie (Sinéad Keenan) to investigate another cold case when body parts are found in a river. The series introduces us to four disconnected families or stories but how do they connect to the body? Next, it's been a long wait for the third season of the hit US comedy Hacks. The series, which originally aired on Prime Video is now available on Sky and NOW and they've bought the first two seasons and the third season which means our wait is over. The incredible comedy with two equally powerful performances from Jean Smart and Hannah Einbeinder delivers possibly its strongest season yet. Next, Jack Rooke's semi-autobiographical comedy Big Boys is back for its third and final series, and on Netflix, there's a new true-crime drama Apple Cider Vinegar about an infamous Australian cancer scammer. 

Matt is joined by Dawn and Mo to review another 4 new shows. On Channel 4, Steve Coogan interviews Harriet Walter's Margeret Thatcher in true life drama Brian & Maggie. The BBC's latest Sunday night fare tells the little known story behind the Austen sisters in Miss Austen. Channel 4 tackles people's views on the migrant crisis in slightly controversial new series, Go Back Where You Came From. Finally, Motherland's Queen Bee Amanda gets her own spin-off in the BBC's Amandaland.   There's discussion on the anti-climatic finale of The Traitors as well as new twisty drama The Paradise on Hulu & Disney+

Matt, Dawn and Gary board the TV Time Machine and enter a new Millennium. They review four new shows that began in January. Dom Jolly takes to the streets to terrorise and irritate the British public in Channel 4's hidden camera hit Trigger Happy TV. The BBC attempt the UK's first big reality series by sending groups of people to spend a year on a not so deserted island in Castaway. Though it's remembered as being the show that launched Ben Fogle, in practice, it was a mess. Poorly planned, and poorly executed with most of those who took part either leaving before the end or suing the production company. Next, At Home with The Braithwaites, the show that launched Sally Wainwright and the almost forgotten but still absolutely perfect, Clocking Off, with one of the best ensemble casts to ever grace our screens.   Finally, Dawn and Gary go head to head in the first music quiz of the new era.

Dawn and Sarah join Matt to review four new shows and break down their thoughts on the latest episodes of The Traitors. First, after a 3-year absence, Severance is finally back on Apple TV+ Easily one of the most anticipated shows of the year, the trio get lost in the immersive world of Lumon Industries while Sarah turns to Reddit to explore what the 'clever' fans are talking about. Next, also on Apple, there's preposterous 'Maths thriller Prime Target. On ITV Martin Clunes stars in new drama Out There about a rural farmer caught up in County Lines created by the same team who worked with Clunes on the true-life crime drama Manhunt. Finally, on Netflix, there's American Primeval, a gritty, brutal and violent of the 1800's with another stunning performance from the always brilliant Betty Gilpin as a woman trying to find save passage through America. It takes the trio by pleasant surprise. There's also discussion on The Breakthrough from Netflix 

Dawn and Sarah join Matt to talk about the best Christmas TV and review the first 4 new shows of the new year. Firstly, Sky and Peacock bring us Colin Firth in a harrowing retelling of one man's search for answers following the Lockerbie disaster. Then, James Norton stars as a father who learns he may have brought the wrong baby home from the hospital in ITV's melodramatic airport novel Playing Nice.  Then, Channel 4 adapts French drama Astrid: A Murder in Paris, transporting the story of an autistic woman who works in the police records office from Paris to York. The results are mixed to be kind and mind-numbing to be truthful. Finally, the BBC helps fight off the January Blues with the return of The Traitors. All three podcast hosts are already hooked.

It's the final pod of 2024, looking back on the very best the TV had to offer. Luke and Dawn join Matt to count their personal Top 10's of the year whilst also counting down the favourites of the wider Custard TV team. Expect discussions on Slow Horses, Mr & Mrs Smith, True Detective: Night Country, Rivals and many more.  

In what is slowly becoming a festive tradition, members of the custardtv podcast get together to chat. Not to review a show, but to chat as friends and look back, look forward and try to make sense at the same time. Enjoy the freest podcast of the year as Matt, Dawn, Mo & Sarah get together for an end-of-year chat and unofficial Christmas party.

Firstly, Martin Clunes stars in an off-kilter comedy drama about the inner workings of a shock TV show entitled 'Sex And Death' Then, there's the only Christmassy-sounding show, in BBC One's sort of family drama Last Christmas starring Pauline Quirke and Ray Winstone. Then, the pair examine the evolution of Graham Norton by looking back at his first Christmas Show as part of So Graham Norton on Channel 4. Lastly, the barely known comedy duo Matt Lucas and David Walliams get their first shot at TV with UK Play's Rock Profile in which the pair play over-the-top versions of Pop stars such as George Michael, the lads from Steps and Michael Jackson and his ever-loyal friend Elizabeth Taylor. Also, Matt tests Luke's music knowledge for the final time with the Christmas Chart of December 99 where Cliff Richard's The Millennium Prayer is still hanging around!

Gary gets excited about Prime Video's new Alex Cross series and Elaine and Gary break down the bold and brave bottle episode that opens the second season of Apple's sci-fi series Silo.

Matt and Dawn are back to review four brand new shows available this week. It's a very Apple TV+ heavy week with the return of The Garvey sisters in Sharon Horgan's brilliantly dark comedy Bad Sisters. There were questions about whether we needed a second series of this brilliant show, and Matt and Dawn address those in the review of the first episode of the new run. Then there's Apple's spooky drama Before, starring a very restrained Billy Crystal as a grieving child therapist who encounters a troubled young boy who he may have a connection with. Also on Apple, the Spanish drama, You Would Do It too, is a heist drama with a difference. Finally, the pair look at Sky's new take on The Day of the Jackal led by Eddie Redmayne which moves at a slower pace than you might expect.

Then, imagine life on the set of a Marvel-esque superhero movie in Sky and HBO comedy The Franchise. Over on Prime Video, there are two new comedies. Firstly, an Indian family move to America for a new life in The Pardeeps of Pittsburgh. Finally, and for reasons that aren't entirely, the Australians have remade The Office for 2024. This throws up a lot of questions. Why remake something that has been so widely seen and also, have they done anything new with the format to make it feel more of its time? Elsewhere, Matt has finished Heartstopper on Netflix and Dawn has some thoughts on Sky's Sweetpea.

That's a little obscure but it gets more unknown from there. Channel 4 docusoap Love in Leeds and drama series Love in the 21st Century as well as ITV's bizarre choice to show Walking on the Moon, a brutal bullying drama on Bank Holiday Monday.   Dawn's truly impressive cheesy pop knowledge is in full display as Matt tests her on two Summer charts and the pair reminisce about their first festival and clubbing.
