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.

47:11|“Sometimes I see how the brave new world arrives,And I see how it thrives in the ashes of our lives,Oh yes, man is a fool - and he thinks he'll be okay,Dragging on, feet of clayNever knowing he's astrayKeeps on going anyway”So sang ABBA in their festive hit, 'Happy New Year'.
