February 10
1h 7m

Episode Description

Matt and Dawn are joined by Ruthie Nugent to review four brand new shows available this week. Beginning with the BBC's impressive adaptation of Lord of Flies. Written by Adolescence writer Jack Thorne, his four-part take on the classic story almost plays like a sequel to the Netflix series. Next, ITV have another paint-by-numbers spy drama in Betrayal, a four-part thriller about spy which choses to tell the least interesting parts of its own story. 

Next, we loved Detectorists and Small Prophets, the new gentle comedy from Mackenzie Crook feels as if it comes from the same world and that can only be the a good thing. It's the story of a man, mourning the loss of his girlfriend, stuck in a job he hates, just trying to get by, full of gentle humour that immediately warms you to the characters. 

Finally, Dawn gets the chance to share her love of the Muppets as the iconic series is rebooted by Disney+
