This week we’re both feeling impossibly British as we dive into the 1981 adaptation of the Evelyn Waugh novel Brideshead Revisited.
We also discuss Peter’s continued obsession with the very funny Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, the ideal voice of Don Quixote’s Sancho Panza, how this measures up against Andrew Davies’ adaptation of Bleak House and the themes of religion and fall of the noble classes within both the book and the TV series (in-depth analysis alert!).
It’s a Just Watch It bonus episode as we talk our way through something more British than the Queen’s Tuppaware – The Great British Bake Off!
We also discuss our favourites from this season, some early morning baking, international Bake Off franchises and the funniest baked good of all: the dampfnudel.
