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!

39:42|Not to oversell, but in this episode we've stumbled across one of life's big questions:If you move house and everything is still in some degree of chaos, and a very sweet man from Virgin Media comes to install wifi but then leaves his enormous bulky jacket behind, and the addition of this one big jacket tips you over the edge mentally, how long do you have to keep the jacket before giving it to a charity shop? Obviously Virgin Media has been contacted multiple times to say, "Hey! We've got this guy's jacket!"Firecrotch is on the verge of a mental breakdown, btw.Write to us: fuckoff@firecrotchandnormcore.comSupport us, Firecrotch needs some form of private mental healthcare: https://www.patreon.com/theyliketowatchEdited by Annabel Port who is now all (or at least some of) the rage on the TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@theotherbritishmuseum
