Episode thirty eight - "Wallander" (season one, episode one, "Sidetracked")

Feb 27 2025 54 mins  
Send us a text Kenneth Branagh shines in this anglicised version of the skandi noir classic, Wallander. However, it's not that hard to shine when everything around you is so incredibly bleak. Having said that, there are lots of bodies, and one of them is even heavily charred, while the others are axed and scalped, so plenty to enjoy on that front. We we also have dodgy eye shadow (

Episode thirty seven - "Father Brown" (season twelve, episode one, "The Battle of Kembleford")

Feb 14 2025 51 mins  
Send us a text Silly hats, squabbling academics, tudor costumes, death by antique sword...what can we say? Just the usual antics in the world of crime drama. We've seen all these things before but this time we are in the world of Father Brown. It's not the greatest introduction to the world of G.K. Chesterton's crime solving priest, but if you are into secret codes and battle reina

Episode thirty six - "Patience" (season one, episode three, "The Missing Link")

Jan 30 2025 52 mins  
Send us a text York, present day: A woman is found dead inside a dinosaur exhibit. Not inside the exhibit, you understand. Not wodged in with the dinosaurs. Only a total fool would think that. And she drowned.... OR DID SHE? Well, Patience, our eagle eyed investigative consultant, knows that she did. And Patience leads our professional detectives gently through the clues of dino bo

Episode thirty five - "Dalziel and Pascoe" (season one, episode one, "A Clubbable Woman")

Jan 16 2025 59 mins  
Send us a text A woman has been clubbed in the head with a toffee hammer, but it's ok, as she was "clubbable," and probably deserved it. Oh, and the clowns in Brussels have got rid of toffee hammers so maybe she was shot instead. Confused? Welcome to the world of Detective Superintendent Andy Dalziel! He's assisted by Detective Sergeant Peter Pascoe, who has the audacity to be univ

UPDATE: A change for our next episode.

Send us a text Hello all, here we are again. Quick update to let you know we're binning off Father Brown as the episode we were going to talk about is no longer avilable on "U" and we can't find it anywhere else. After all that fuss about finding the app and stuff. Tsk. Anyway, we've decided to do something else. The something else: "Dalziel and Pascoe," season one, episode one, "A

Lex is on holidaaaaay!

Send us a text There's no full length episode this week because Christmas and New Year threw us off our stride. Come on now, take a deep breath and wipe your tears - we'll get one to you soon. In this little minisode Lily tries to do a short review of the crime dramas and murder mysteries on offer this Christmas, but without Lex to gently rein her in, gets slightly distracted. Happ

Episode thirty four - "Midsomer Murders" (season sixteen, episode one, "A Christmas Haunting")

Dec 20 2024 50 mins  
Send us a text It's CHRIIIISTMAS! And the village of Codswallop Shallows (or similar) is celebrating by hosting lots of ghost hunts, just as Jesus would have wanted. There are only two bodies in this one, so it's not an all time classic, but we do have Mark Heap in a mustard jumper, Les Dennis in a variety of outfits, and a steely eyed man in a barbour jacket who doesn't know what

Episode thirty three - "Return to Paradise," (season one, episode one, "R.I.P. Tide")

Dec 05 2024 60 mins  
Send us a text You know the drill, a Met Police officer has left London and is solving crimes in someone else's backyard. This time the dectective in question is returning to her own backyard - Dolphin Cove, which is just down the coast from Summer Bay, Australia. We discuss Neighbours, Home and Away, Enid Blyton, Mein Kampf, and even, occasionally, the programme in question. But w

Send us a text *This is the second of a two parter on Silent Witness so you may want to listen to part one (ep 31 on Silent Witness season 4, eps and 6) if you want to get the references. But we're not the boss of you so do as you like.* We're back! And this time with Dr Nikki Alexander and lots of dead crows. Hardly anyone is "well nourished," and nobody is "heavily charred," so a

Episode thirty one - "Silent Witness" (season 4, episodes 5 and 6, "A Good Body.")

Send us a text Its the first in our two part Silent Witness Extravaganza and we couldn't be more excited! Or we were, until we watched this. We are not the biggest fans of Professor Sam Ryan. Sorry, Sam, but you are a sanctimonious bore. And you use the phrase "making love," which has not been good for our digestive health. Someone gets almost beaten to death, someone gets electrod
