Episode notes

Screen Babble returns to normal this week and we kick off as ever with what we've been watching recently Steven checked out Partygate, the Channel 4 drama based on the misbehaviour in Downing Street during the pandemic. He's also checking out and enjoying Crime season 2.

Benji has taken a chance on Loki and is pleased to report he believes this may just be the saviour of us all from superhero fatigue. He thinks it's more like a thriller/mystery than what you'd usually expect. He's also enjoying watching Severance again whilst anticipating a new series in 2024.

Kelly has started The Reckoning, the BBC's new drama about Jimmy Saville which is well made but raises questions around BBC impartiality and their place in the story, the team discuss. Also, we couldn't not mention the return of Big Brother, Kelly is pleased to see the return but wonders whether it's still up her street.

Steven tells us about The Fall of the House of Usher, out now on Netflix on the deep dive. Benji brings us an oldie but goodie in the form of vampire slaying teens - yes, you guess it - it's Buffy the Vampire Slayer. A cult classic.

Thanks for listening!
