    # 471: The Listeners, Say Nothing, Alex Cross, Silo Season 2

    Matt reunites with Custard TV Podcast royalty Gary as well as Maid for TV's Elaine Gregson to review four shows available this week.

    First up, Rebecca Hall is a teacher plagued by a 'hum' that only she can hear in the BBC's new thriller The Listeners. Then, Maxine Peake stars in FX and Hulu's compelling series, Say Nothing which unpacks The Troubles with unflinching detail. Gary gets excited about Prime Video's new Alex Cross series and Elaine and Gary break down the bold and brave bottle episode that opens the second season of Apple's sci-fi series Silo.

    # 470: Bad Sisters Series 2, The Day of the Jackal, You Would Do It Too, Before.

    Matt and Dawn are back to review four brand new shows available this week. It's a very Apple TV+ heavy week with the return of The Garvey sisters in Sharon Horgan's brilliantly dark comedy Bad Sisters. There were questions about whether we needed a second series of this brilliant show, and Matt and Dawn address those in the review of the first episode of the new run. Then there's Apple's spooky drama Before, starring a very restrained Billy Crystal as a grieving child therapist who encounters a troubled young boy who he may have a connection with. Also on Apple, the Spanish drama, You Would Do It too, is a heist drama with a difference. Finally, the pair look at Sky's new take on The Day of the Jackal led by Eddie Redmayne which moves at a slower pace than you might expect.

    # 469: Rivals, The Franchise, The Pardeeps of Pittsburgh, The Office Australia

    Dawn Glenn and Mo Walker join Matt to review four new shows.  First, they travel back to 1986 to a life of excess in Disney's take on Jilly Cooper's hit novel Rivals. Then, imagine life on the set of a Marvel-esque superhero movie in Sky and HBO comedy The Franchise. Over on Prime Video, there are two new comedies. Firstly, an Indian family move to America for a new life in The Pardeeps of Pittsburgh. Finally, and for reasons that aren't entirely, the Australians have remade The Office for 2024. This throws up a lot of questions. Why remake something that has been so widely seen and also, have they done anything new with the format to make it feel more of its time?

    Elsewhere, Matt has finished Heartstopper on Netflix and Dawn has some thoughts on Sky's Sweetpea.

    Matt and Dawn travel back to August 1999 to look at the TV landscape. They review Jimmy Mcgovern's single drama Dockers which starred Ken Stott and Ricky Tomlinson unwittingly caught up in a strike. That's a little obscure but it gets more unknown from there. Channel 4 docusoap Love in Leeds and drama series Love in the 21st Century as well as ITV's bizarre choice to show Walking on the Moon, a brutal bullying drama on Bank Holiday Monday.

     

    Dawn's truly impressive cheesy pop knowledge is in full display as Matt tests her on two Summer charts and the pair reminisce about their first festival and clubbing.
