Firecrotch & Normcore: THEY LIKE TO WATCH
Little Wigs Abound! And Russell T Davies (DOCTOR WHO)
•
We've never been in love before
We thought our hearts were safe
We thought we knew the score!
Are these lyrics from a musical? Or rather our unbridled feelings for this week's guest who just so happens to be RUSSELL T. DAVIES? WHAT IF IT IS BOTH?
Dreams come true you guys, you just have to keep dreaming. This week's guest, see above, is the showrunner of Doctor Who, creator of It's a Sin, Queer as Folk, and too much more to mention. The King of British TV, and our new hero.
Our hearts are full of gratitude towards beloved friend and listener Jan McVerry, without whom none of this would've happened!

53:05|In a strange twist, Sara did a gig at a nuclear power plant and yet it was uninteresting enough that we don't even talk about it in the podcast! We do talk about sperm, though. And Louis Theroux.

58:30|Sara had a jam-packed school pickup yesterday that included erotica, estate agents, and ongoing grudges. Plus we discuss Secret Mall Apartment on Netflix, before going off-piste with - sorry! - a film you'd have to go see in the cinema, Sentimental Value. We better see you at that live show: https://www.angelcomedy.co.uk/event-detail/firecrotch-normcore-they-like-to-watch-live-sun-8th-feb-the-bill-murray-london-tickets-202602081530/And you better join the patreon.

01:00:08|At the time of writing, Sara/Firecrotch-y has finished season 1 of Heated Rivalry and having cried during the penultimate episode, is now wondering if maybe the whole thing is a work of genius after all? Laughs and cries is the classic combo but cries and turn-ons? If this is the direction 2026 is going, we (I) don't hate it. Maybe the toppermost TV echelon is Sopranos, Succession, The Wire, Six Feet Under, Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul and Heated Rivalry, but not for the dialogue, only for the wanks-'n-tears. SEE YOU AT THE LIVE SHOW RIGHT?!

49:31|Geoff has a job to get to and Sara has a puppy staring at her like “Mommy! Engage me!” so no show notes, sadly. But we love you and we know we’ll see on 8th feb for the live show.
