Now it's Easter coming up this weekend.

Oh happy Easter. Happy Easter. Do you like Easter? Yes I do. I don't think we ever used to celebrate Easter as much as now since we've had the kids. But the kids really, really look forward to Easter. Well I think after Christmas it's the first time they get a two week break from school. Oh yes.

Which is always really lovely because they're knackered don't you think? Oh my god. By the time it comes to Easter I am ready for the break. Ready for not rushing around and getting out of the house for half past seven. Yes, oh my god yes. The weather's picking up, it's getting nice and warm. Yeah, I put my Easter tree up, all my decks are up. Oh my god, you put an Easter tree up? Yeah. How big is the tree?

About that high on my table. Really? Yeah. Oh, that's really sweet. Well it was sweet and I said should we get all the stuff out and Joni would you like to decorate it and then she's like oh one thing went on and she left it to me. So the enjoyable experience of doing something together went out the window. That's gone, that's long gone.

But I do love Easter. Again it's a time to come together isn't it? It is, it's lovely. Family come together, you know, you're all together. I mean, but I think with our Easter, the chocolate Easter eggs start a long time before actual Easter. Let's just be honest. The Christmas chocolate continues. And by the time you've threw the last packet of Maltesers, Easter's upon us. Yes, it is. We've already had like had loads of Easter eggs and stuff. Have you?

Yeah, already my parents came and gave the kids a load of Easter eggs. So we've already had all of those. It's a very strange household isn't it? In a lovely way. I don't quite know when my parents gave the kids Easter eggs. It was about two weeks ago or something. I went, can we give them some eggs? I was like, okay. And well I, well they came up and it was a weekend I think because I was like, yeah, yeah, you know, because this is, this is how low I'd gone. I looked around and I looked in the cupboard and it must have been a Saturday night. My parents were out and I was like, oh my god we've got no chocolate. So I said, have we got any chocolate

in the house anywhere? So James was like, no we we've got no chocolate so I said have we got any chocolate in the house anywhere so James was like no we haven't got any chocolate so I said to mum have you got any chocolate in the car because she normally has got a stash of chocolate she said no I've got nothing in the car but I've got some eggs for the kids if you know shall I give them to them now I went yeah just give the kids the eggs that's why the kids have had the eggs about two weeks ago. Oh my goodness that's all down to you. Yeah and And Bo had like, she had a whole load of little, you know, like chicks and stuff. Yeah. I ate the lot. I thought she's too small, she won't even notice. And I just ate them all. It's unbelievable

behaviour. It really is. She's going to have so much chocolate by the end of Easter. Yeah. You know. I try and always go for a little prezzy. Oh me too. And then a little egg rather than loads and loads and loads of chocolate you know. Yeah but I do love Easter, I like going you know on the egg. What's what is it called? Easter egg hunt. Easter egg hunt that's what it's called. Be careful how you say it. I was thinking it's called the egg trial I was going to call it. You go on those lovely egg trial. I was gonna call you those lovely egg trials. I've got some family coming up for Easter and yes, I've bought lots of miniature eggs and bits and pieces that I shall spread around the garden and the kids can all go out with their little baskets.

Oh, that's nice. Yeah, I do enjoy it. Yeah. Yeah. So, what are we supposed to be watching? Lovely. Yeah. So what are we supposed to be watching? Well, being Easter, we have watched the Father Ted Easter special. Now I'm going to be a little bit controversial with this, Jo. Yeah? I don't think Father Ted has aged well. Are you serious? Yeah. Because I put this up, my first thought was, right, okay, this is like, you know, Father Ted's quite old now. And I thought it can't possibly be still funny or whatever. I put

it on, right? And right from the get go, I was genuinely laughing. Oh my God, it was about like 10 seconds in and there'd already been about, I don't know how many gags. And I just thought, oh my gosh, it's so so well written that is just laugh after laugh after laugh. I've got to be honest Father Ted gave up cigarettes, Dougal gave up rollerblading and then Father Jack gave up the booze. I loved them looking at each other as giant Guinnessers. I liked that was funny. Right from the get-go when the credits went up and Father Ted is walking across the front carrying the big cross and then he puts the cross in the grass and you kind of think that that's what it's going to be and then the cross drops and just goes bang on his head. I thought and it was still

making me laugh and then Mrs. what's her name? Mrs Doyle. I worked with the lovely Pauline McGlian who played Mrs. Doyle. Oh did you? What did you work with her on? EastEnders. Brilliant, isn't she? She's absolutely brilliant, isn't she? Yeah. I just thought her in the window, well, she's cleaning the window, she turns around and then she's like that and then just throws herself. Brilliant. She played Charlie Cotton's mum in EastEnders. And I have to say, I was a bit starstruck

when I first met her because of Father Ted. But I think my comedy that I like, I think this is kind of almost Monty Python-ish. It's so silly, isn't it? It's so silly and I don't find that as funny. Do you know what I mean? That's why comedy's brilliant because we all love different things. But when the woman at the end is punishing them and bashing them with sticks and... Yes. You see, I don't really laugh at that. Yeah. Well, I wasn't massively laughing at the punishing with sticks, but I've got to be honest, I thought it was really funny. I mean, I just thought it was well written, I thought it was clever, I thought it was funny. I just thought, oh my, I haven't watched

an episode of Father Ted in years. Yeah, maybe I need to stick another one on. I don't know, but I put it on and I just thought, oh my God, it's just joke after joke after joke. It's just so funny. And Father Ted, I mean, he's just funny. He's brilliant. They are all brilliant in it. They are brilliant. I mean, Father Dougal is so stupid, isn't he? I mean, Dougal is just stupid, isn't he? It is really silly, silly humour. I don't know if I've watched anything in ages where it's gag after gag after gag. Yeah.

Just so much like that. I thought it did make me laugh because I was thinking, oh, you know, it's years since I've watched it, it can't possibly still be funny. And I thought, oh my God, it is, it is. And it did actually make me laugh. I do like watching things, again it's that seasonal thing of popping something on around that time of year. Yes. That's why I love all the seasons, you know, you can crack out all the specials of things that you haven't seen for ages.

Do you give anything up for lent? No. Neither do I. Have you ever given anything up for lent? I've tried and failed miserably, So I don't do it anymore. I think you're setting yourself up for a fall. I think we have enough to do. Yeah. Everything in moderation. I think I tried once to give up chocolate and didn't succeed.

Mine always used to be the classic of stop biting your nails. Yes. Classic. Never worked. No. I've been doing that since I was about like 12 and look, still bitten. Yeah. Falsies. Yeah. Yeah. But yes, I did enjoy Father Ted. I would say put it on. I mean, if you do want it and it's 24 minutes long. That's right. I mean 24 minutes. Was that normal? That's so weird you said that because when I popped it on I thought yeah was it normal for it to be but I suppose it was channel 4 yeah yeah the joy I felt when I put it

on I was like blinking egg 24 minutes long that's good now asking me to watch another blink in eight hours of get back Have you managed to watch any yet? No, I haven't watched any yet. Fair enough. Fair enough. We've had a busy time of it. Yeah, but yeah, 24 minutes. Is that my street? No, yeah. When I think about it, it is a silly, it's just that stupid humour which gets me sometimes, but then I can get a bit bored of it. Yeah. But Father Ted is great. But it did make me think, oh my god, I think that we should go back and do some like old comedies.

Like The Inbetweeners, because you've never seen that. I know that's like not old but you know, The Inbetweeners, Gimme Gimme Gimme, some of those things. Yeah. I'd like to go right, I'd like to do The Good Life. Oh god, I love The Good Life. I wanted to be the good life. Yes. I still want to be the good life.

So do I. I'd love to be Felicity Kendall. I feel a little bit like that when I'm out doing my seeds. Yeah, and she always had lovely hair, lovely thick hair. Wonderful dungarees. Yeah, Penelope Keith. Brilliant. Margot, I think that's where my love of the name Mar Penelope Keith. Brilliant. Margot.

I think that's where my love of the name Margot has come from. Yes. Margot. Oh God. Well if we're doing that we may as well do To the Man of Bourne. I don't think I've seen To the Man of Bourne. I think I used to watch To the Man of Bourne. All these ruddy sitcoms, there were loads.

Loads and loads. We should do a massive classic. Classic sitcoms. Special but really old ones. Yeah, definitely. Now, before we get into more telly, let's have a listen to what you lot have been saying at home. Hi ladies. I am so happy to have found your podcast. This is Janice from Canada. Yeah, I just happened to be scrolling through one day and discovered it and I'm thoroughly enjoying it. I have been a dedicated Gavin and Stacey fan

and started watching EastEnders within the last five years so love both of your shows and I'm loving all the reviews and the suggestions and lastly if it hasn't been recommended yet on the pod I just wanted to give a nod to the show Friday Night Dinner. It's a family favorite of ours. Many Canadians do tend to lean towards British comedy because we find your style just something a cut above the rest. Yeah, so that's all.

Keep being you and I love the energy of your show and have a great day. Oh. It's that lovely all the way from Canada. Isn't it mad to think that someone in Canada is listening to us? Yeah it's great isn't it? Yeah really good. And that she's really interested in British comedy. Well she's saying that a lot of Canadians lean towards British comedy. Wow. I wonder why that is? Cut above the rest. I'm happy I'll take it. Cut above the rest. I'm happy I'll take it.

Let's have another voice note. Hi Jo and Nat. It's Marios from Where. I just wanted to call and give you a voice note to say thank you for all the recommendations. You're my go-to now. And because of you

we've watched things like Mum, like Kin, like Elmer's Not Normal at the moment, Colin from Accounts, that we just would never have watched if it wasn't for your recommendations. So yeah, keep up the pod. I love listening to the both of you. Oh, I can't wait for the next series of Calling From Accounts. So good, isn't it? Oh, it's just brilliant. And what's just brilliant is like what you find out, what the title means.

Yeah. I just assumed Calling From Accounts and then you find out. And it's so good. So good, but how lovely of Marios to say that he's discovered all of these shows for us. That's fab, isn't it? But that's, you know, there has been a lot of things that I would not have watched without this pod.

Yeah. So, we're the same. Me too. But thank you, Marios. Thank you. Shall we have another one? Oh yeah. These are brilliant.

Hi, Jo and Nat. I absolutely love the podcast. Thank you so much for doing it. I think everyone always says that it sounds just like listening to two friends chat, which I completely agree with. I had to get in touch just to say that I caught up with your drama special. And Joe, I was so excited when I heard you say bodies, because it's quite old. And I, I absolutely love it. But I've never managed to find anyone else who has either watched it or loves it as much as me. So Nat, you really need to watch it.

And I would love it if you guys could actually do like a proper review where you dedicate an episode or half an episode to it. Because I think everyone needs to know about it. And Nat, I know you said you like comedies, but it is, there are some quite funny bits, like it's deep and it's emotional and dramatic, but it is, there are some funny bits. So highly recommend and thank you again so much for doing this fab podcast about TV.

All right, bye. What a fab voice note, bodies. Okay. It's the only show I have like rewatched over and over and over. I think it's fab. You've got Max Beasley going in as like a new, I'm not sure if he's a consultant yet, but he's going in as a new like, you know, gynaecologist, a new doctor in the hospital. And then you've got Patrick Valadie, who's the big consultant. Oh my god, it's brilliant. I mean, it's brilliant because it's written by Jed Merc Oh my god it's brilliant. I mean it's brilliant because

it's written by Jed Mercurio and it's from the book bodies. Can we do it? Yes, I'm up for it. It's really really good. Was it on the BBC? You can watch it on BBC IPM. Oh brilliant. Thank you again. We wouldn't be doing that without your voice notes. There you go. Thank you. that without your voice notes? There you go. Thank you. cast cereal the hitchhikers guide to the galaxy how would you react if I said that I'm not from Guildford after all but from a small planet somewhere in the vicinity of Beetlejuice I don't know why do you think it's the sort of thing you're likely to say drink up the world's about to end start listening to the hitchhikers guide to the galaxy primary phase available to purchase

Well we have been watching Shits Creek on Netflix and this city is ours on the BBC. What should we do first? Should we do Shits Creek? Yeah. Now Jo, never seen it. Yes. And when we were told, oh should we do Shits Creek? A bit of me went, oh, it's like an old comedy,

American comedy, do I wanna watch it? I'm not really keen. I promise you, I put it on. I was so pleasantly surprised. I think the way it starts, I watched a couple of them. But I feel like after two episodes, I know who every character is. I love the situation they find themselves in. They're spoiled, multi-multi-millionaires. They lose everything within the first five minutes of the programme. And I just find

them all brilliant. The four main, the whole family, I just think they were brilliant. And I was really laughing out loud. I think the last thing that I discovered that was sort of like that, and I thought this is brilliant, would be Modern Family. Oh yes. And it will definitely, definitely be something that I just pop on again. When the mother- She's so good. She is so, so good. When the mother Moira, Catherine O'Hara, just in the first episode says things like, I'm going to go and have a lay down and hopefully I won't wake up. Where she's so devastated. Or she's sat in the cafe.

Yes. Or she's sat in the cafe and she's sort of, well I'm dying inside. And she's so unapologetic about how she feels because she's a complete snob. I think they're all brilliant, all brilliant. And I mean the audacity of Chris Elliott who plays Roland shit. Roland's the mayor of this town that's been, the only thing they've got left, the roses to their name, is this town that he bought his son as a joke. I mean, this is how much money they had and they turn up and Roland's like the absolute polar opposite of anything, anyone they've ever met. Yeah. And now he starts manipulating it. I really enjoyed the first two. I thought it was brilliant.

God, a while ago I watched a big load of it and then I stopped so I feel now I should go right back from the beginning and like start it all over again. And it's a joy because you know that there's just like so many, there's so many series. I mean, there's so much of it to watch. I love the dad. Yes he's good isn't he? He's so serious you know, he's like well it was a jog. I bought the town for the jog, the jog's a jog. I like the way it's filmed as well, I like, I really, how old is it? I think it's quite old now isn't it? It didn't. 2015, so yeah it must have started oh good god 2015 does not seem like 10 years ago. So that's 10 years old. I feel that that's very very you know it could

have been made yesterday. Yeah. Really funny. Yeah. Really enjoyed it. I think it's right up your street. I've really enjoyed it. And it's one, because I mean, my god. I mean, the son is so hilarious. He is, isn't he? He's really, all he wants is a towel. And then the daughter is so precious, isn't she? Yeah. She annoyed me, but purely because her character is meant to be annoying, but she's brilliant at playing her. Yeah. Yeah. No, I really like all the dynamics. And obviously they're bickering all the time, the brother and the sister. And they're all stuck in that room, aren't they? Yeah. I mean, just like in that hotel room. And then you've got like the receptionist,

haven't you? Oh yeah, and she's really miserable and she's very happy. Very happy to be miserable. Yeah. So do they stay there? Do you know? All the way along? Well, as much as what I've seen, they're still in the hotel. They're still there. So he won't sign the document so they can sell it? I don't know. No, I haven't seen him sign the document yet. And all of the ones, because I've seen quite a few, but all of the ones, they're still in the hotel. What a great idea. Yeah. Again, a great situation comedy. It's just brilliant. And it is worth just watching the outtakes as well because it's just so funny. Because I mean, you know, the mum Moira is just when she calls every

baby, she says baby all the time and the mad stuff she's got to do and the stupid thing she's got today and then just watch it and just thinking, oh my God, she's got to try and do it with such a straight face. Really good. Really fun. I loved it as well. Absolutely loved it. And I feel that something, once you've watched the first couple so you know what it's about, maybe I'm wrong because I haven't watched it all, but I feel like I could dip in and out of it. Yeah. And I could just pop one on and you'd sort of pick up where you are. Yes. And that's one that we could watch with our kids as well. I mean, like our older sort of ones.

I showed Eliza, I could have watched three or four episodes but no, I put it on because I was excited. I said Eliza watch the first one and she watched about half of it and she went no I'm not feeling it. Really? Yeah, I was like oh Eliza give it a go. But my friends right, my school mum friends they said get, I think they said get through the first two episodes and once you've got through those two you'll just get into the swing of it and it's really really funny. Yeah I agree. And it was, I mean the first episode I was a bit like oh god you know I can't get through this. Oh really? Honestly it got me immediately when they were sat on that sofa and the picture just slowly moved of them, the huge painting and I just found it really

funny all the time and it's great. Yeah I'm really excited that I found it really funny all the time it's great yeah I'm really excited that I found it. Well I think I might put it on with Eva and see if I can get her into it. I would yeah I would I'm gonna have another go with Eliza. Yes just get her through the first episode. Just get her through the first two and she'll be with me. Yeah so you can watch all of it on Netflix and it says that we've got about 80 episodes so there's a lot to watch if we want to get through all of it on Netflix and it says that we've got about 80 episodes. So there's a lot to watch if you want to get through all of it. I mean it's not one that I'm going to be desperately trying to get through Jo.

I think that you should do all 80 episodes. It's not a true review unless you have. Well I, like I say, I think that is something that I will definitely pop on when there's nothing else to watch. And that sounds like I'm putting it down but I'm not at all. But you know, like a Friends, which is brilliant. What I mean is it's classic, you just put it on. Which I think is quite a lot to say after two episodes. Yeah, it is, isn't it? It is. I feel like it's been with me for a long time and I've only watched two. Because Friends is like that, isn't it? You're flicking the TV, one comes on, you're like, oh my god, and you can just sit down and watch that one can't you? You can, you can.

So the other thing that we were reviewing this week is This City Is Ours which is on the BBC. Now I first heard about it because my mum and dad, mum was on the phone going oh we watched this amazing thing with Sean Bean, we put it on and me and Dad, we couldn't turn it off, watch the whole thing, we absolutely loved it. And then, so I put it on and I love Sean Bean. Oh my God, I've always loved him, I think he's fantastic. He is amazing. His face tells a thousand stories. It really does. I mean, it really does. Really does. And you just think of the amount of stuff, the amount of amazing stuff he's done.

His face, he's so cinematic, I think. He's so good good isn't he? Well it started and I was watching it start when all of the men and everything were on the golf course and I was like, oh it's obviously in Liverpool and then suddenly goes to all the women in the family and I was like, oh my God. And there was Laura Aikman who plays Sonya

in Gavin and Stacey. Yes, I know she is. And she was, I've seen photos of her filming this because she was filming this and I remember her talking about it and I hadn't put two and two together. So right before Gavin and Stacey she was in Liverpool and she was filming this and she was talking about her costume and she had to wear quite a lot of makeup and her hair and she was all glammed up in it and stuff and she finished filming this and you know she never told her parents that she was doing Gavin and Stacey and they had a shock and everything. When she was filming Gavin and Stacey she told

them that she was still filming this. Fair enough. So I started watching it and I was like oh my god this is what Laura was filming. I see she's got a cracking Scouse accent. Oh my god it's really good. Really good. I mean it doesn't even sound like she's even doing an accent. No not at all. And also her voice is like pitched lower. She doesn't sound like how she normally sounds. Like she was saying some stuff when they were going in for the christening and the lines were coming out and it was just it was like she was normally speaking. Yeah she was really good. I thought she was really good. I'm gonna have a little chat about this show though. Oh go on then, right you go for it. I watched sort of one and two and then I sort of dipped into three, fast forwarded a bit

of three and ended up finishing at the end of three. God you've watched a lot! I've watched some of it yeah and I just, for me, I'm going to be hated but I just went oh it's a bit like kin it's a bit I don't know blokes drugs gangs and I don't know I just thought oh really is this what it's about again? What happened what because I've only watched one? Well again it's all unfolding and it's still on the telly so let's not ruin anything. But again it's that kind of family secrets, there's a lot of drug money going on, different people are involved and then you've got all the wives, the glamorous wives who don't know anything. You've got this one couple you know whose wife, you can tell

they really love each other. Oh, the ones who were trying for the baby. Trying for the baby. Michael and the other one, yes. And they're really solid. And even the other sort of glam women are a bit like, oh, you two really love each other, don't you? You hold hands and what have you. But she's no bullshitter.

You know, she really loves him and she wants to know what's going on. A bomb gets dropped that something dodgy is going on that are christening. And it sort of unfolds, but it is quite slow. I think they're all brilliant actors and I'm not just saying that as a cop out. I do. I really enjoyed it. But for me, I just went, oh, it's another sort of gangland, violent, drug money, loads of blokes. I don't really want to invest my time in it. But if people like that genre, you know, kin, if you love that sort of thing, then again, absolutely brilliant. Be right up your street. You really enjoy it. But for

me, I went, I can see it's brilliant acting, really good, but I don't want to watch the next three. Yeah. I was interested to see the relationship with the women. Like, you know, in the first episode, you know the one who's really in love with Michael and they're trying for a baby. She's a great actress. Yeah. And she's standing there, Saoirse Monica Jackson, who plays Cheryl in it. She obviously was in Derry Girls. Yes hilarious in that. Absolutely

brilliant. When Cheryl goes up to Diana and says something like oh you're a lovely couple together you can so see that Cheryl is just slightly unhinged there's like and she's like you're such a lovely couple together and then Diana says oh I like your dress and then Cheryl goes I'm going to be covered in red wine in half an hour. Yeah I I drink too much. It's just, yeah. And then she's just like, I was like you, but I'm very tired now. And I thought, Oh God, I want to see more. I want to see more of, more of Cheryl. I want to see where she's going. I want to see what's going to happen to her.

And what's happened? Anything she can be. I mean, so she's so funny in Dairy Girls, but so like highly strung in Dairy Girls as well, which is just like amazing. And then in this you can see she's also kind of a bit unhinged but also yeah really vulnerable yeah quite fragile yeah I thought oh god I want to see what's gonna happen with her but brilliant and if it's up your street please please catch it yes on BBC I play or on Sundays at 9 o'clock on BBC one and it's had a huge recommendation from Susan Page.

She thought it was flipping brilliant. Loved it. Right, before we go, we've got time to hear a recommendation from a listener. Shall we play it? Oh yeah. Oh, I'm excited. I'd just like to recommend Austin. It's on BBC. Set in Australia, there's Sally Phillips,

who I adore, and Ben Miller. And they discover that Ben Miller's character has a son whilst he's out there. And it's all the drama that ensues after that. It's very, very good. Absolutely love it. Ooh, I've not even heard of that. I saw it on the iPlayer front page the other day and I wondered what it was. Oh my god. Yeah? Sally Phillips. Because I love Sally Phillips. Yeah, I do.

And Ben Miller. Got a list as long as your arm now. Yeah. And do you know, right, I've always wanted to watch Barry because it was recommended to me by someone and they said it's the best thing that they've ever watched. All right Jo and your recommendations, can you give the listeners a chance please? Do you know what I think we should watch? What? Joking.

But no, all these recommendations are brilliant. They are. Keep sending them in to us because we love them. We're certainly never going to run out of anything to watch. Never. Ever. Also we've got another call out for you. Tell us about your favourite moments from the telly

When something's gone wrong

or when they get the giggles. Oh my God. I always remember seeing a clip of Ulrika Johnson when she was trying to read the weather, when she was doing the weather in the beginning. And she just got the hysterics and she literally couldn't speak and couldn't stop laughing. I still remember that.

Oh my God. And I'm thinking of Alison Hammond. Oh no, don't. When she pushed the bloke in. Just so good. There's a lot of weather things that have happened. How about Michael Fish saying I have a great night. There's no winter night.

Massive hurricane in the early, mid 80s. Oh my god yeah. Not absolutely still this evening. All of the things on I'm a Celeb. When they've got to do the live trial. Everything live. very very good. Oh God. That's going to be a real cracking bonus it.

It will wouldn't it. It will. Right, eat as much chocolate as you can. Yes. I know you don't need telling. I hope you get loads of lovely chocolate eggs. Have a nice time. I hope the Easter bunny comes.

Yes, fingers crossed. I hope the kids have a lovely time. And I hope yours have a lovely time too when you do really good hosting, which you will. Thank you. Love you. Love you. Bye love and happy Easter to all. Happy Easter!
