‘Twas the night before Polin Week, when all through the ton The clowns were up spiralling over moon balls and Frohn In this special bonus episode brought to you from the cutting room floor, we dust off our evidence boards and attempt to piece together Season 3 Part 1 using only a folder of stills, a handful of crumbs and the ramblings of some very tired co-hosts. We’ll be d

The embargo has lifted. The promo floodgates have opened. Let's just say we've been awaiting this particular visit for a very long time. During our crumbs-about-crumbs, we'll be greeting Pen in the Bridgerton entrance hall, celebrating a cheese-loving brother-in-law and gulping down Colin's emotional support beverage. Thirsty times indeed. And though we’re fre

"Sweet May hath come to love us, Pen, Colin, their carriage don; And through Netflix heavens above us, The very clowns clown on.” Welcome to May. Welcome to chaos. We'd tell you to get in the circus tent but this one's already occupied by Pen's finger lickin' good crumb and the final shred of Colin's sanity. In this emergency Weekly Crumb, we'll be

Pritt Sticks at the ready, dear listeners. It's the morning after the night before and we've got a lot on our breakfast plates. In the last of our book reread episodes, we'll be sneaking an extremely dishevelled Penelope back to Mayfair, hastily moving up the dates of a small but magical wedding and taking a quick trip to some oddly brown Highlands. And as our belov

Get up, dear listeners. We're taking you to church. In our third reread episode, we'll be chasing hired hacks down Fleet Street, contemplating the logistics of carriage-based activities and indelicately faceplanting onto the streets of Mayfair. We'll also be turning up bright and early to the Tuesday Featherington family meeting, fetching watercolours with Felicity

Pack your bandages and earplugs – curtain’s up on the most melodious event of the season. Mozart, stand down. Lou Bega’s got this one under control. In the second of our read-along episodes, we’ll be making puddles with Colin, taking First Aid lessons from Penelope and dipping our thermometers in half-hour old bath water. Ahead of the weekend, we’ll be spending an unrem

Up, up, up and away, dearest listeners! It’s time to soar into the S3 trailer heavens at long last. As our ship docks back in London, we’re trading sea for air as we float above Mayfair alongside an extraordinary balloon, a winged god and a sleepy-but-sturdy Bridgerton. We’ll be enjoying splendid weather with Lord Wilding, laughing in the library with Blue Pen and attempti

Hold onto your hats, dance cards and wallflowers, dearest listeners. It's time to discuss the Season 3 promo that has wrought such chaos into our lives that even Book Colin would blush. We'll be taking a trip to Hyde Park for a startling encounter on a blanket, having our dance cards filled by a hands-on Vegetarian and swooning over the long-awaited appearance of Enchant

She fell in love first. He fell into a mud puddle harder. Join us for the first of our read-along episodes as we celebrate the 200th anniversary of Book Polin’s love story! We’ll be taking a fatefully muddy ride through Hyde Park, uniting in the glee of matchmaking mamas everywhere and putting up the wet floor signs to mop up a rather concerning blob of Chantilly cream. And

Just put your hand on the glass, dear listeners. It’s time to reflect on the latest Polin mirror-cle. We’re starting with the gentleman in the mirror as he finally gets around to crossing off his two-hundred-year-old to-do list, before catching up with his good friend Pen and a most hardworking pair of fingerless gloves. Meanwhile, Necklace Truthers arrive from across the fan
