What To Watch in 2024 & Why Some Shows Are Cancelled

man, this channel is exactly what i wanted but never realised.

I am not even interested in the topic but cant stop watching. Magical combination: Richard and Marina.

Such a shame I’m not playful: cannot abide game shows but listening in to these two vibrant conversationalists, compels me to have an interest. Very well done. Thanks

I can't seem to get enough of Richard Osman...I've been following him from across the pond on 'House of Games' and 'Pointless' for years. I've just finished the last of his 'Thursday Murder Club' instalments and really looking forward to his new novel series. Now this gem of a podcast has appeared on my feed and suddenly 2024 is looking pretty damn good!

I'm absolutely on board with Richard's love for Poker Face.

Newly discovering this and I'm really enjoying seeing how the sausage gets made (so to speak) in the entertainment industry. The hosts have such lovely speaking voices as well.

I find a certain charm to catching old 'Mock the Week' episodes.

My mother lived in a care home for a little while and the local theatre (The Grand in Wolverhampton) regularly put on trips for older people from these homes. She absolutely loved it.

In Toronto, Canada we had pantomime for decades. Rpss Petty produced them and called them Family Musicals.

I’m just fascinated at what puppeteer Marina has beef with (21:15)

What an insightful podcast! Really interesting to hear how things are run. I also took the opportunity to pause after Richards recommendation to watch Rye Lane which was excellent. Now to go back and listen from start.

Entertainment is such an interesting topic. I love/respect Richard & Marina, but I often can't raise any enthusiasm for some of the shows they rave about. I'll always make time for this podcast though. The insight and knowledge subtly on show is awesome.

I went to the Suchet panto in Bristol and it was FANTASTIC! I brought along my friends from Australia and Indonesia, by way of Hong Kong, and they were both enthralled and flummoxed in equal measure.

"Big American stars like... Hasselhoff"🤣 But seriously, one of the most charming things about Britain, is that with all the history and culture, there's is an inordinate amount of love and pride for all things corny, like Panto, Dr. Who, and the 007 films.

These two wonderful communicators look like they rolled out of seperate beds and put on the first set of garden clothes they tripped over. Huge brains with not a wasted syllable and dynamic non-sexual chemistries working between them. This is one show that won't get cancelled, repeatable and relatable. 🎉

As an American, I am honestly very surprised to hear that Jeopardy has never worked in Britain. Out of all of our game shows I always felt like it had the most British sensibility. I definitely think Fry is an excellent choice to host, and will hopefully make it work.

If you like Nathan For You, watch The Rehearsal that Nathan Fielder did after for HBO. The first episode is one of the funniest things I've seen on TV and uses the HBO budget perfectly.

Just LOVE Marina.

I've Watched every minute of this show. Only to hear about slow horses. Which was only chatted about for10 seconds. Likely I'm loving it. But want more info about slow horses. An amazing show.
