Episode notes

Alex and Harry are back, answering your questions and recommendations. Top of the list is Adolescence, the gripping new crime drama from Jack Thorne and Stephen Graham, which offers a harrowing portrayal of the influence of social media on teenage boys. There’s also a charming voice note from Harry’s mum as she shares her love for a long-running BBC favourite! However she’s also binned one of Harry’s top picks… (any guesses?) Plus, Alex reveals an unexpected new addition to the household… courtesy of Richard Curtis.
