*triggers: contains description of physical assault Emily Atack left school at 16, confident she wouldn't need a GCSE for what she wanted to do: act. It turns out, she was correct. She starred as Charlotte Hinchcliffe in the smash-hit comedy The Inbetweeners when she was just 17 and is currently on our screens as Sarah Stratton in Disney+'s hit drama Rivals, as well as co-hosting a new ITV game show, Nobody's Fool, with Danny Dyer. But it hasn't always been easy: she faced sexual harassment and abuse from the age of 10. We talk about the impact this has had on how she now understands her own capabilities and about how her unbreakable bond with her sister, Martha, has helped her survive the toughest challenges. ✨ IN THIS EPISODE: 00:00 Introduction to Emily 03:19 Learning Boundaries 05:33 Class and Growing Up 07:39 Paul McCartney Connection 10:00 Failing to Believe In Herself 14:58 Leaving Home at Sixteen 25:10 Inbetweeners Fame Fallout 30:18 Praise for Rivals 31:23 Earning Creative Trust 32:51 Emotional Regulation Struggles 35:40 Forgiveness and Loneliness 37:20 Childhood Trauma and Sex 41:35 Alistair and Finding Home 46:52 Motherhood and Body Image 55:19 Keeping Nice Things and Goodbye

There's also incredible insight into what it actually felt like playing against Maradona during the infamous Hand of God match in 1986 — including what happened when Terry confronted him afterwards.Away from football, Terry opens up emotionally about his son Christopher, his battle with PTSD after serving in Iraq and Afghanistan, and the powerful ITV documentary Invisible Wounds. It's one of the most honest and moving conversations we've ever had on the podcast.Plus: shirt-swapping disasters, Escape To Victory, Dwight Yorke in Australia, and why footballers should stop pulling their socks down.Chumbawamba- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Be sure to watch Invisible Wounds, which will air on ITV and ITVX in June, ahead of England's World Cup opener v Croatia on June 17th.Combat2Coffee: https://www.combat2coffee.co.uk/Combat Stress: https://combatstress.org.uk/Help For Heroes: https://www.helpforheroes.org.uk/get-help/ex-service-women/?gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=23612607550&gbraid=0AAAAADfdgk3vGyf2yF9_4TfZXzAow3j3X&gclid=Cj0KCQjwlLDQBhDjARIsAPlIefFfyifNOXZ69J4ExXskaJtW_LA5j_-jigg8zBDVVMgkk3oJCeClSS4aAq4HEALw_wcB 00:00 - Eurovision chat and Wembley FA Cup stories02:04 - Chris and Sids wind Pete up about Wembley03:55 - John Terry sends Pete a Ruud Gullit surprise video05:26 - Terry Butcher joins the podcast06:25 - Inside the legendary Italia 90 England camp08:03 - Why England never expected to win Italia 9009:24 - England training sessions were “harder than matches”11:28 - Terry explains his mentality playing for England13:23 - “The game's gone soft” starts here14:00 - The full story behind the bloodied shirt15:34 - Why Terry refused to come off injured17:28 - “Every header felt like a squelch”18:20 - Terry reacts to fans dressing up as him19:47 - Life at Rangers and Old Firm madness22:46 - Terry relives the Hand of God match24:21 - Hearing England scream “HANDBALL!” at Maradona25:30 - Terry confronted Maradona after the game26:40 - Was Maradona the greatest ever?28:11 - What made Bobby Robson special29:34 - Terry's issues with modern footballers30:40 - Can England finally win another World Cup?31:33 - Finding out England call-ups on Ceefax32:10 - Why Terry hates energy gels on the pitch33:04 - Terry opens up about his son Christopher35:13 - PTSD, grief, and the struggles veterans face37:19 - How “Combat 2 Coffee” helps veterans talk40:29 - Terry speaks honestly about grief and crying42:38 - Listener questions begin42:59 - Why Terry turned down Escape To Victory44:11 - The only Argentina shirt Terry ever kept44:41 - John Terry's question: best centre-back partner?46:04 - Managing Sydney FC and Dwight Yorke stories48:07 - Highland derby chaos with Derek Adams50:28 - Terry explains what wearing the England shirt means51:04 - Terry's final rant about modern football51:47 - The lads reflect on Terry's emotional interview54:20 - End of Terry segment / football roundup begins01:02:43 - Why FA Cup managers should wear suits again01:06:10 - Listener story about referees and fancy dress01:12:00 - Paddy Power predictions01:28:11 - EndFor more Peter Crouch: Twitter - https://twitter.com/petercrouch Therapy Crouch - https://www.youtube.com/@thetherapycrouch For more Chris Stark Twitter - https://twitter.com/Chris_StarkInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/chrisstark/For more Steve Sidwell Twitter - https://twitter.com/sjsidwell Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/stevesidwell14 #PeterCrouch #ThatPeterCrouchPodcast Hosted on Acast.

Matt and Dawn are joined by Doctor Who and Star Trek podcaster Suky to review four new shows available this week. Jeff Pope, king of adapting true stories into compelling drama series, is back with Believe Me. This four-parter, available now on ITVX, focuses on the horrific sex crimes of Black Cab driver John Warboys, who tricked female passengers into drinking champagne laced with pills so he could rape them. It's a deeply frustrating but important watch. Also, more loosely based on a true story, Netflix has Legends, a series about ordinary people who work for the security services during the 1980s. Next, Apple TV has a new Israeli drama, Unconditional, about a mother and daughter whose relationship is strained when one does something the other can't believe they'd do. It's a hard show to connect to. Finally, This is Not a Murder Mystery, a bonkers but vibrant murder mystery which features some scenery chewing performances, but is fun to watch.  Lastly, Dawn sets a quiz that proves difficult.  

Hayley Campbell, Scott Bryan and Naga Munchetty review the week's biggest new TV and streaming releases.This week the trio review 'Legends' on Netflix, Created by Neil Forsyth and based on a true story. The new six-part series stars Tom Burke, Steve Coogan and Charlotte Richie and follows a team of civil servants who become undercover agents to stop gangs bringing in heroin into the country during Thatcher's Britain.Next 'Believe Me' a new four-part true crime drama on ITVX, which tells the story of the survivors who launched legal action against the police following their investigation of the taxi driver Jon Worboys, a serial sex offender who was convicted in 2009.Finally the widely anticipated season two of Disney Plus's 'Rivals'. The series is based on the novels by Jilly Cooper about two rival TV companies in the Cotswolds. Stars reprising their roles include David Tennant, Aiden Turner, Danny Dyer, Katherine Parkinson and Emily Atack.Remember you can email mustwatch@bbc.co.uk to have your say.

Today's guest is someone whose voice - and face - I think most of us know instantly. Dermot O'Leary has been such a constant in British life for years now, from hosting The X Factor, to his Friday slot on This Morning, to his weekend shows on BBC Radio 2.He's had this really varied career - presenting everything from major live events like the Brit Awards and BAFTAs, to documentaries, and his more recent travel and food series Taste of Ireland with Dermot O'Leary on ITV, which is back for a second season. What I loved about this conversation is how much of his life has been shaped by travel. He grew up in an Irish family, going back and forth between England and Ireland, with those long childhood journeys to Wexford becoming some of his earliest memories. And that sense of place, of identity, of belonging really runs through everything he talks about in this episode.So today, we're diving into the seven chapters of Dermot's travel diaries, from those childhood summers in Ireland, to travelling solo across America, winter escapes to Norway to the Italian region that's completely stolen his heart.Holly's Destination Recap:- Priesteregg Resort, Leogang, Austria Dermot's Destination Recap: Soneva Fushi, MaldivesWexford, IrelandCurracloe Beach, IrelandCahore, IrelandSt Davids, United KingdomFishguard, United KingdomDordogne, FranceAtlantic Coast France, FranceNorfolk, United KingdomBodrum, TurkeyDonegal, IrelandSligo, IrelandCauseway Coastal Route, United KingdomBallycastle, United KingdomPortrush, United KingdomPortstewart, United KingdomDerry, United KingdomColeraine, United KingdomNew York City, United StatesWashington DC, United StatesNew Orleans, United StatesLos Angeles, United StatesHermosa Beach, United StatesSeattle, United StatesPuglia, ItalySalento, ItalyOslo, NorwayBygdøy, NorwayLofoten Islands, NorwayBergen, NorwayKirkenes, NorwayPrague, Czech RepublicJapan, JapanSouth Korea, South KoreaNew England, United StatesMaine, United StatesDERMOT O'LEARY'S TASTE OF IRELAND kicks off on Saturday 2nd May on ITV 1 and ITVX, in partnership with Tourism Ireland With thanks to…Citalia - Discover the real Italy with Citalia, the UK's leading Italian holiday specialists.

Dave is joined by Matt for Geektown Radio Episode 494, and this week's show is led by chat about horror film Undertone, relationship drama The Drama, Canadian crime series The Murder Line, and a return to Gilead in The Testaments.Matt kicks things off with three film reviews. First up is Undertone, an audio-led horror built around a creepy podcast mystery, which nails a lot of its atmosphere and sound design before losing its footing a bit in the final stretch. Then there is The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, which Matt found colourful but paper thin, before finishing strongly with The Drama, starring Robert Pattinson and Zendaya, which he thought was one of the best films he has seen this year.On the TV side, Matt also checks in with Daredevil: Born Again, which now feels far more confident and focused than it did at the start, plus more blood-soaked superhero chaos from Invincible as the Viltrumite story keeps escalating.On Dave's side, he dives into the final season of Hacks, takes a look at ITVX crime drama The Murder Line starring Stephen Amell and Minnie Driver, and starts The Testaments, the follow-up to The Handmaid's Tale, which shifts the focus to a younger generation still living under Gilead's shadow.There is also a gaming detour into Starfield, which Dave has returned to following its major Free Lanes update, plus a quick mention of this week's Geekstorians episode on Doctor Who and the Wilderness Years.In the news section, they cover cancellations for Law & Order: Organized Crime and The Copenhagen Test, plus renewals for Young Sherlock, Law & Order: SVU, The 'Burbs, The Madison, Maigret and Father Brown. There is also UK air date news for St. Denis Medical and Clarkson's Farm, and a look at new BBC sci-fi drama Sutherland starring Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Stuart Martin and Iain De Caestecker.They also dig into the latest Skydance, Paramount and CBS upfront announcements, including vampire comedy Eternally Yours, legal drama Cupertino, mystery procedural Einstein, and Flint, a cop drama starring Matt LeBlanc as a detective trying to get himself fired.Plus, they round up what is coming to TV next week, including Criminal Record Season 2, Saint Pierre, Stranger Things: Tales From '85, Half Man, The Cage and Secret Service.Listen now for film reviews, TV news, sci-fi updates, gaming chat and the usual Geektown mix of enthusiasm, side tangents and geeky nonsense.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/geektown.

Angela makes claggy crab pasta a thing of the past!  Gemma Arterton is a BAFTA and Olivier-nominated British actor and producer, and star of upcoming ITV drama, Secret Service. Gemma, who lives in West Sussex with her husband - the actor Rory Keenan - plays a MI6 officer, heading up the Russia desk in a thriller full of buried secrets. But before we get to chatting about the role, Angela is tasked with solving Gemma's own cooking quandary: avoiding claggy crab linguine.  First up is a glass of Le Arenarie Vermentino di Gallura (available at waitrosecellar.com) to accompany Angela's homemade soda bread. The wine's minerality is also the perfect partner for the main course of crab, caramelised fennel & red chilli linguine,with a pangrattato for extra crunch. Dessert is a serving of the best lemon posset, a recipe by Martha Collison, a choice inspired by Gemma's own skills as a baker and, in particular, her lemon meringue pie.  This is a three-course treat of a meal for Gemma, who is back on our TV screens for the first time since the critically acclaimed Funny Woman. We hear all about the qualities of a good spy, and why Nick and Angela probably won't be getting a call from MI6 just yet. Gemma reveals how she gets the best out of her performances on stage and delivers our classiest answer for some time in the Fast Food Quiz.  Secret Service starts on 27 April on ITV1 and ITVX. You can watch full episodes of Dish on YouTube and on Spotify.  All recipes from this podcast can be found at waitrose.com/dishrecipes The recipe for the best lemon posset, was created for Waitrose by Martha Collison.  A transcript for this episode can be found at waitrose.com/dish If you want to get in touch with us about anything at all, contact dish@waitrose.co.uk Dish from Waitrose is made by Cold Glass Productions Learn more about your ad choices.

Tom Bradby is the calm, authoritative face of ITV News at Ten…but behind that desk is a man who has reported from war zones, witnessed history unfold first-hand… and even been shot in the line of duty. He's spent decades right at the centre of global events, from political uprisings to natural disasters, often in places most of us would never dare to go.And then there's the royal family. He's one of the very few journalists to have had real, behind-the-scenes access at the moments the whole world is watching. He was the journalist chosen to conduct the official engagement interview with Prince William and Catherine, Princess of Wales - and that wasn't just an announcement. It was the moment the world properly met Kate, heard their story in their own words, and got a first glimpse of the future of the monarchy.And then, years later, he was trusted again. This time sitting down with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle in an interview that completely broke with royal tradition, when Harry openly spoke about the pressures he was under and confirmed a rift with his brother. Those are the moments people remember watching. Talking about. Picking apart the next day.And now, he's turned all of that experience into drama, with his new ITV series Secret Service - a gripping political thriller that feels so real because it comes from a world he knows intimately. At the heart of it all, he's a traveller. From a childhood spent chasing the sun in Gibraltar and Malta, to ski racing in the Austrian Alps, to reporting from some of the most extraordinary and challenging places on earth… his life has been shaped by the places he's been.Holly's Destination Recap:Raffles London at The OWO, London, EnglandTom's Destination Recap: GibraltarValetta, Malta Gozo Rabat, MaltaMtarfa, Malta Alpbach, Austria Berlin, Germany IndiaJakarta, Indonesia Sydney, AustraliaBondi Icebergs Sea Pool, Sydney, AustraliaBill's, Bondi Beach, Sydney, Australia Stockholm Archipelago, Sweden Resarö, Sweden Dog sledding near Kittilä, FinlandNiseko, JapanNozawaonsen, Japan AlbaniaSouth America Secret Service starts Monday 27th April, 9pm on ITV1 and ITVX.This episode was recorded at the London Marriott Hotel County Hall.With thanks to…Airbnb - Your home might be worth more than you think.

As your children grow into teenagers, knowing when to step back can be one of the hardest parts of parenting.This week on The Netmums Podcast, Louise Burke and JB Gill are joined by Boyzone's Shane Lynch and his wife Sheena, from ITV2's The Real Housewives of Cheshire, as they share what family life really looks like behind the scenes while raising two teenage daughters.From earning their own money to finding their own path, Shane and Sheena explain how they're raising their girls to stay grounded – even while growing up in the spotlight. They talk about social media, teenage ambition and why boundaries still matter, even when they're pushed.They also share their honest take on the ‘nepo baby' debate, and the reality behind the assumptions people make about their family life.At the heart of the conversation is that shift so many parents recognise – moving from being hands-on to learning to let go. Sheena describes the hardest part of that transition as “fear”, admitting she's the worrier at home, while Shane takes a more relaxed approach. Together, they reflect on what it really means to trust your teenagers, even when it's not easy.The couple also open up about their relationship, including their separation during lockdown and how they found their way back to each other. It's an honest look at balancing marriage, work and family life, and what it takes to stay connected through change.There are lighter moments too – from raising “girlie girls” and teenage humour to the reality of what comes next, including the thought of becoming empty nesters.Warm, relatable and full of real-life takeaways, this episode is a reminder that raising teenagers isn't about control – it's about guidance, trust and, sometimes, having the courage to let go.In this episode: Raising grounded teens – independence, work ethic and values Their thoughts on the ‘nepo baby' debate Letting go and trusting your teenagers to find their own way Social media, smartphones and setting boundaries Supporting ambition without creating entitlement Parenting girls and navigating teenage dynamics Keeping your relationship strong through change Therapy, communication and modern family life Honest advice for parents – from early years to teens The Real Housewives of Cheshire is back on Tuesdays at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX from next weekRead more expert advice at Netmums.com and join the conversation on social @Netmums.Got a parenting question or dilemma?

On our latest podcast, we chat about the episodes of Corrie shown between the 2nd and the 6th February (Episodes #11,787 - 11,789). Thanks to a couple of sporting events on Tuesday and Thursday, this week's helping of Coronation Street was almost as short as Kevin's temper. However, with Wednesday's Webster-focused episode featuring the big reveal to Carl that Debbie is actually his mum, there was still plenty for us to discuss! The pair of us actually had quite different opinions on that episode too, so it was pretty fun debating what did and didn't work for us! Also this week, a rooftop intervention from Abi leaves Kevin with new perspective on life (and Brian with a sore head!), Todd struggles to cope with no food and no money, and Jodie intrigues us with a mysterious box of trinkets... Up next on the podcast, it's The Kabin, where we discuss some streaming stats from ITVX and get a little overexcited at the prospect of an upcoming Audience With Helen Worth event, then we finish things off with more of your listener feedback.

This week, Geektown Radio does something a little different.Instead of our usual round-table discussion, Dave goes solo for a special end-of-year episode, looking back at what kind of year 2025 actually was for television, streaming, and the industry as a whole.This isn't a “best of” list or a countdown. It's a reflection on a year where shows moved platforms, franchises returned in strange new forms, cancellations came faster and colder than ever, and streaming finally stopped pretending the money was infinite.Along the way, we talk about:ITVX quietly becoming one of the most useful platforms of the yearThe annual US TV Bloodbath, and why it felt different in 2025How Netflix, Apple TV, Prime Video, and Hulu play by very different rulesWhy franchises don't end anymore, they just come back wearing a hatWhat video game adaptations finally seem to be getting rightThe shows that proved TV can still be genuinely brilliant And why 2025 was the year the industry stopped expanding and started reorganising itselfWe also wrap up with a look ahead to 2026, a thank you to everyone who listens, reads, and supports Geektown, and a short message for anyone finding this time of year a little heavy.Plus, we tee up our Geekstorians Christmas special — The Hunt for the Star Wars Holiday Special, dropping this week.Geektown Radio will be taking a short break in January, but we'll be back in February 2026.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/geektown.

This week, Nigel and Tazziii dive deep into Pixar's Elio (starting at 26:45), with guests mayamada illustrator Pinali and Lao K, the other mayamada co-founder.Pixar's latest animation didn't receive the warm reception the studio might have hoped for. We explore the off-screen drama that impacted the on-screen narrative, why Elio felt disconnected and made it difficult to connect with certain characters, the Pixar "bean mouth" problem and what we expect from our animation today, as well as how well the film executed its themes of grief, loneliness and identity.Not everything can be a home run, and we look at which moments did work and what we want to see from Pixar animation in future. This week's storytelling tip is about getting your protagonist's Ghost right.Other stories we're enjoying include: Predator franchise (film series), Hazbin Hotel (Prime Video), Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein (Netflix), Sifu (Epic), Vinland Saga (Netflix), Moving Out (Steam), Howl's Moving Castle (Spotify), The Flight Attendant (HBO Max via ITVX), High Potential (ABC), Gardens of the Moon (book), A Thousand Blows (Disney+), Invincible (Prime Video), The Paper (Sky).Connect with Pinali online:Website: https://www.pinali.netTwitter: https://x.com/StudioPinaliStory x Story #185: We Second That Emotion (Inside Out 2) - https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mayamada/episodes/Story-x-Story-185-We-Second-That-Emotion-Inside-Out-2-e2mvrpi Connect with Lao online:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/laokarunStory x Story #200: The Double Centurion Jass Club (Blue Giant) - https://creators.spotify.com/pod/show/mayamada/episodes/Story-x-Story-200-The-Double-Centurion-Jass-Club-Blue-Giant-e2sip7p

Angela's first serving of aligot goes down very well with Nick and our brilliant guest. Vicky McClure is a BAFTA-winning actor known for her incredible roles in Line of Duty as Kate Fleming and This is England as Lol Jenkins. She joins Nick and Ange to talk about the third series of Trigger Point, the thriller in which Vicky plays Lana, a bomb disposal expert (known as an expo), struggling with trauma and PTSD. You can watch the show from 26 October on ITV and ITVX.  Vicky was born in Nottingham and lives there today with her husband Jonny, who is also an actor and filmmaker. The couple first met over a sausage cob, and it's one of many areas of food and drink that Vicky feels strongly about, including tea and how to act with it correctly.  We begin the episode with Nick mixing up the first ever bloody Mary on the show ahead of a main course of roast topside of beef with peppercorn gravy & aligot. Aligot, a recipe made of potato and cheese, also makes its Dish debut... but definitely not its last, based on this reaction. It's paired with a glass of Catena Malbec. Vicky brings pure joy to our table as well as her passion for her hometown and nighttime. We hear about working with Madonna and how she prepares for her demanding roles. And her second career path plan? Well, it's right up our street.     You can watch full episodes of Dish on YouTube and, new for this season, on Spotify.  All recipes from this podcast can be found at waitrose.com/dishrecipes A transcript for this episode can be found at waitrose.com/dish If you want to get in touch with us about anything at all, contact dish@waitrose.co.uk  Dish from Waitrose is made by Cold Glass Productions

After the collapse of the China spying case, do we have to accept that Britain is way past being able to spar with Beijing? Especially when we depend so much on their students? Green MP Siân Berry talks about the party's future under new eco-populist leader Zach Polanski, how to square green infrastructure with their support's suspicion of development, and whether the Greens would enter a coalition with Labour to keep Farage out. And in the Extra Bit for Patreon people… Sunak's back, sort of. What do ex-PMs get up to these days? And the terror of the A.I.

In these divided times I thought it would be good to reach out across the political divide and get the creator of Jonathan Pie back on. Tom's recent video on discourse provides a great jumping off point for several discussions following the murder of Charlie Kirk (plus we also ask who has more fun, lefties or righties). Then it's on asking 'What is the point of the Lib Dems'? We have slightly differing views on the efficacy of one man banter-train Ed Davey.

In this episode I ponder the frankly preposterous notion that something may have gone right for Keir Starmer. I also have a good laugh delving into the shambles around the launch of the Jeremy Corbyn and Zarah Sultana party - plus give my view on Jimmy Kimmel's cancellation for his monologue on the MAGA reaction to Charlie Kirk.

With Donald Trump set to whirlwind into the UK on Tuesday myself and Jacob Hawley wonder out loud what could go wrong. Has Starmer slept at all in the build up? Will the King go on a weird one? Will Donald bounce Keir on his knee? We also talk about the sad death of Ricky Hatton and try to work out how blokes can keep an eye on their mates....oh and there's a theory as to why Mandelson might've been like a creepy Rory Delap.

So in this episode we have a subject which you can joke about and one which isn't funny at all. On the one hand Peter Mandelson leaves Govt AGAIN, and reminds us that New Labour are something like the British version of the deep state. At the other end of the spectrum there was the disturbing murder of US political activist Charlie Kirk. CATCH ME ON MY TOUR ‘Basic Bloke 2: There's No Bloke Without Fire'.

The ever so naughty Scott Capurro rejoined us this week (trigger alert for any Royal fans or menopausal women). We caught up on a tumultuous long weekend for the govt. From Rayner going to reshuffles and the return of flag nemesis Emily Thornberry. We also discuss Reform's conference and the surprise star in sequins.

Could've done an episode every day this week! From Linehan getting nicked to the Rayner revelations it's felt like a lifetime since Monday.

Great show this week as Andrew returns to discuss another shock poll for Reform (aren't they all these days?). We also suggest that - following his recent social media update - Keir Starmer should never speak in public again.

On our latest podcast, we chat about the episodes of Coronation Street shown in the UK between the 25th and the 29th August (Episodes #11,653 - 11,658). Sorry, we couldn't help it - this episode does get somewhat ranty towards the beginning thanks to Corrie's insane decision to publish spoilers about the massive twist in Friday's episode first thing in the morning, thus ruining the surprise for anyone foolish enough to scroll social media rather whilst munching on their Weetabix rather than switching straight to ITVX. And it was a great twist too! Definitely something that we're interested in seeing the fallout from at Number 13... Anyway, that wasn't even the main focus of the week - that particular spotlight, of course, falls on Asha, who had a bit of a mare of a day to flash back to on Monday, and on the same week that we're saying goodbye to the lovely Aadi, too! Also this week, Theo ramps up his control of Todd when he bans him from seeing Billy, whilst over at the Rovers - praise be! - Christina's back in town, and Jenny's feeling more than a little suspicious of her motives...  Up next on the podcast it's The Kabin, and we chat a bit about Adam Hussain's latest short film, Spice For Life, which made its way onto YouTube this week, and we round off the show with some feedback, including one listener's personal ranking of all the Rovers owners over the years - now that's a discussion we can really get behind! Street Talk - 00:13:26 The Kabin - 03:02:45 Feedback - 03:12:48

The excellently insightful Alun Cochrane joined me to ponder whether Angela Rayner is either very normal, or not as normal as she makes out. We also look ahead to Labour going back to school and whether they'll end up taxing luxury dogs. Then we contemplate why young women are moving to 'extreme' left wing politics.

In this week's breaking news I'm trying to work out how Keir 'Britain is Broken' Starmer can pivot to an 'everything's fine' narrative.. I also look at the phenomenon of English flags appearing and ask what the progressive can really say in response.

What a day it was at DWSC HQ, as not only were we joined by actor and writer of the detective series Karen Pirie*, Emer Kenny, but we also had a visit from fabulous listener (and competition winner) Margareta, who popped over from Sweden to get on the mic and share a mystery of one very slick intruder.Before that though, Emer kicked things off by telling us about the time some suspicious 'substances' arrived anonymously through the post - and why the garden shed is the best place to store such items, before helping Hannah and Taylor get to the bottom of a German heist, which turned out to be more than double trouble.*All episodes of Karen Pirie are now available to stream on ITVX.
