7. The Owl Service
02:28:37||Season 7, Ep. 7"She wants to be flowers, but you make her owls. You must not complain, then, if she goes hunting."The 60s are calling on the Alan Garner phone and it's finally the decade of the teenager! It's what we like to call an Els-indulgent episode, and these as you know, tend to be long (sorry).What you are about to hear is a spirited 2.5 hour long discussion of a landmark piece of children's media.The Owl Service is a soaringly romantic 1969 drama based on the 1967 book of the same name. It grapples with heady themes such as social class, generational trauma, jealousy, and betrayal. Many felt at the time that this psychosexual retelling of a Welsh folk-tale, playing itself out between three adolescents, was too adult for a child audience. It probably is, and that is one of the many reasons we love it.CW: brief discussion of sexual assault, and OBVIOUSLY SPOILERS.Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/ThotsTVEmail us at Thotstv2002@gmail.comInstagram - http://bit.ly/th0tsTVTikTok - https://bit.ly/thotstvtiktokDiscord - https://discord.gg/e6prv4aYSubscribe - https://shows.acast.com/thots-tv

The Herbs and The Adventures of Parsley
01:33:29||Season 7, Ep. 1Season 7 is HERE AT LAST!We're kicking off with Thots favourites Ivor Wood and Michael Bond. The Herbs is an intensely boring show (perfect for a season premiere) but if there's one thing your three hosts love to do, it's find the positives in anything involving hand-crafted puppets and talking animals.We also discuss the history of Watch With Mother, the subjective ranking of herbs, and a shopping bag full of loose curry.Thank you for your patience! We had a much needed rest, and now we're ready for a very exciting season indeed.Content warning: discussion of racism in The Herbs.If you're reading this (we like to think people read this), why not vote for us in the Listeners' Lobes?
