Episode Date: February 27, 2024

What are we watching? Natalie Cassidy and Joanna Page chat about all things telly. What they can’t stop watching, what they definitely aren’t going to bother with, and what you’re all watching at home. From new shows to comfort telly to guilty pleasures, there’s no judgement here. What’s kept us all glued to our screens this week?Self-confessed TV addicts and stars of two of the biggest shows on our screens, Eastenders and Gavin and Stacey, Natalie and Joanna are the perfect companions to your weekly viewing habits. Off The Telly is a BBC Studios Production for BBC Sounds. The producer is Georgia Keating. The Commissioning Editor is Rhian Roberts.

Hello, I'm Natalie Cassidy. And I'm Joanna Page. Now, you may know us from shows like EastEnders and Gavin and Stacey, but what you might not know is we both love all things telly, don't we, Jo? We do. It's how I switch off, how I spend a Friday night with my kids, how I get some peace from my husband. I mean, I can't get enough of it. And that is why we're doing this podcast,

Off The Telly, where each week we'll have a natter about what we're watching, what we definitely recommend, what we absolutely don't want to watch, as well as finding out what you're watching at home. Exactly. But this isn't just the new stuff, is it, Nat?

No, absolutely not. I mean, yeah, we'll be talking about the big stuff, what's on that week and what people are talking about, but we want to talk about all the telly people love, absolutely not. I mean, yeah, we'll be talking about the big stuff, what's on that week and what people are talking about, but we want to talk about all the telly people love, whether that's the latest new series or a box set you feel like you should have watched but never did, or even those old favourites that we keep going back to.

I mean, I can barely keep up these days with all the streaming. Plus, sometimes I don't want to watch a show that's won all the awards. I'd much rather sit down and watch a bit of Old Marple. Now you're talking my language, Jo. I used to love a bit of Poirot with my mum and dad. I mean, the point is we love all things telly

and we can't wait to find out what you're all watching too. Right, Nat. Let's stick the kettle on then and find out what's occurring. Off the telly.
