This episode we discuss the long running and immensely popular family comedy first released in the year 2000, "My Family". This was our first proper family comedy show and lead to a really unique and interesting discussion, full of tangents, random anecdotes and early 21st century nostalgia.

Although it did perhaps overstay its welcome with a whopping 120 Episodes...
This Episode we discuss the 2012 series Bad Education, written by and staring Jack Whitehall. The show finds itself landing dangerously close to the likes of "The Inbetweeners" and another show staring Jack Whitehall, "Fresh Meat", and its fair to say the comparisons do not do this show any favours. The fact this show managed three seasons and a movie is a surprise only surpassed in magnitude by its recent relaunch, maybe we've missed something here? Safe to say it wasn't exactly our cup of tea but as always we had fun discussing it.
