  • Harry Batt Pilot
    Jan 10 2026

    NAEBODY MOVE!


    This was originally a bonus Patreon episode that came out in August, and was always going to eventually make its way onto our main feed. This is the sort of fun we get up to on there, and we wanted to give you a little peak behind the curtain.


    This is something we have decided to call an Els-indulgent episode (get it?!)


    Due to our immense fondness of the character Harry Batt (and the numbers our Dick and Dom episode did), we are reviewing the greatest pilot that never went to series.


    Please enjoy this short and sweet appreciation of everybody's favourite 2007/1970s detective inspector.

  • The Sarah Jane Adventures: The Maria Years - Part 1
    Jan 5 2026

    Well, it's about time.


    The original plan was one episode about the entire Sarah Jane series. How naive we were.


    So here is part 1 of hopefully a Tracy Beaker style ongoing saga of everything Sarah Jane (and Sarah Jane adjacent...)


    Technically, this is the finale of season 6!!! And how lovely that we get to end the season with possibly the best children's drama of the 2000s - argue in the comments. We loved every second of making this episode and we can't wait to share our love of The Sarah Jane Adventures with you.


    See you next time for the (actual) finale!

  • In the Night Garden
    Dec 23 2025

    But somebody's not in bed...

    You know how much we love to revisit Ragdoll productions and the work of Anne Wood and Andrew Davenport. It's that time again to "review" something that is just plain and uncomplicatedly GOOD.

    The loveliness of the mostly ambient clips I've selected might well send some of you to sleep, so we've included some tangents just to keep things interesting. These include: our childhood teddy bears, our infant reactions to shampoo, an embarrassing story about Meg's dad involving a bathtub, and the politics of Pokemon cards.

    Enjoy our penultimate season 6 episode!
