Firecrotch & Normcore: THEY LIKE TO WATCH
It's Not an Arid Environment?! And Sarah Phelps (THE SIXTH COMMANDMENT)
•
Who are we talking to this week? Only one of the UK's best screenwriters, Sarah Phelps - creator of the excellent 'The Sixth Commandment' - the best thing since 'Succession' (according to Nigella Lawson on Twitter. And us.)
Plus: Is 'The Bear' a wolf in emperor's new clothing?
Also, we're nearly there with the Patreon. The Sarah Phelps interview was so good that you need to hear the whole thing, and that's the kind of BOCO™️ (bonus content) we'll be giving our Patreon supporters. Deets next week.

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?!
