That 6 00:00:22,253 --> 00:00:24,373 Speaker 2: is a very good point, Mark, I wonder where that is. 7 00:00:24,413 --> 00:00:28,133 Speaker 2: I wonder if actually being quick and being able to 8 00:00:28,173 --> 00:00:31,733 Speaker 2: recall things like if there's a if there's a little 9 00:00:31,773 --> 00:00:35,133 Speaker 2: like quality in there somewhere that makes you good at 10 00:00:35,253 --> 00:00:37,653 Speaker 2: comedy and make you whatever whatever it is that makes 11 00:00:37,693 --> 00:00:39,373 Speaker 2: you good at comedy, makes you good at quizzing as well, 12 00:00:39,373 --> 00:00:41,573 Speaker 2: makes you good at general knowledge as well. I think 13 00:00:41,613 --> 00:00:43,173 Speaker 2: you're right. I think there could be something in there, 14 00:00:43,733 --> 00:00:46,053 Speaker 2: Muzzy is Jack. Imagine doing a quiz and she turns 15 00:00:46,093 --> 00:00:48,213 Speaker 2: up in the other team. You just concede defeat immediately, 16 00:00:48,253 --> 00:00:50,933 Speaker 2: wouldn't you?

Seeing the chases 22 00:01:02,373 --> 00:01:05,373 Speaker 2: up against new Zealand contestants when there are New Zealand 23 00:01:05,413 --> 00:01:08,133 Speaker 2: themed questions.

It's a given Tara that we're all 30 00:01:24,053 --> 00:01:26,213 Speaker 2: very excited about the Chase, so we'll put that to 31 00:01:26,213 --> 00:01:28,653 Speaker 2: the side for the time being. To tell us about 32 00:01:28,773 --> 00:01:30,253 Speaker 2: Down Cemetery Road. 33 00:01:31,293 --> 00:01:34,213 Speaker 3: Yeah, this is a new crime mystery series starring Emma 34 00:01:34,293 --> 00:01:37,413 Speaker 3: Thompson and it's not often that Emma Thompson does television, 35 00:01:37,493 --> 00:01:39,893 Speaker 3: so just seeing her name and the cast list was 36 00:01:39,893 --> 00:01:43,093 Speaker 3: a big yess from me for the show. Another big 37 00:01:43,173 --> 00:01:45,293 Speaker 3: yess is that this series is based on a book 38 00:01:45,333 --> 00:01:47,893 Speaker 3: by Mick Heron and adapted for television by more when 39 00:01:47,893 --> 00:01:50,133 Speaker 3: At Banks and they are the same people behind the 40 00:01:50,173 --> 00:01:53,453 Speaker 3: TV series Slow Horses, which is one of Apple TV's 41 00:01:53,493 --> 00:01:55,293 Speaker 3: best shows, one of the best shows on television. So 42 00:01:55,333 --> 00:01:58,093 Speaker 3: if you are a fan of Slow Horses, Down Cemetery 43 00:01:58,173 --> 00:02:00,413 Speaker 3: road as one for you as well. But Emma Thompson 44 00:02:00,413 --> 00:02:04,293 Speaker 3: plays Zoe, who's a private investigator and who's contacted by 45 00:02:04,293 --> 00:02:07,173 Speaker 3: a woman called Sarah who's played by the wonder Ruth Wilson. 46 00:02:07,853 --> 00:02:10,133 Speaker 3: Sarah is having a dinner party one night when there's 47 00:02:10,133 --> 00:02:12,413 Speaker 3: an explosion in the house next door and the young 48 00:02:12,413 --> 00:02:16,013 Speaker 3: girl who lives there is injured, and afterwards, Sarah tries 49 00:02:16,093 --> 00:02:18,453 Speaker 3: to find the girl at the hospital and also goes 50 00:02:18,493 --> 00:02:20,893 Speaker 3: to the police, but she realizes that there's some kind 51 00:02:20,973 --> 00:02:23,813 Speaker 3: of cover up going on about what actually caused the 52 00:02:23,853 --> 00:02:26,373 Speaker 3: explosion and what has happened to the young girl, and 53 00:02:26,413 --> 00:02:30,253 Speaker 3: she becomes obsessed with finding out and contacts Zoe to 54 00:02:30,733 --> 00:02:34,093 Speaker 3: help her investigate what's going on. And there's another storyline 55 00:02:34,133 --> 00:02:36,733 Speaker 3: that runs through this that involves some bumbling agents at 56 00:02:36,733 --> 00:02:39,453 Speaker 3: the Ministry of Defense who are trying to cover up 57 00:02:39,453 --> 00:02:42,413 Speaker 3: the explosion and who definitely don't need Sarah and Zoe 58 00:02:42,733 --> 00:02:47,453 Speaker 3: poking round to expose their incompetence. I really enjoyed this 59 00:02:47,533 --> 00:02:49,813 Speaker 3: Emma Thompson, as you would expect, as so God in this. 60 00:02:50,213 --> 00:02:53,213 Speaker 3: Ruth Wilson is brilliant as well. They make a wonderful 61 00:02:53,213 --> 00:02:57,253 Speaker 3: team together and there's lots of that same dry, biting 62 00:02:57,373 --> 00:03:00,733 Speaker 3: British humor that you get in Slow Horses. It's Apple TV, 63 00:03:00,893 --> 00:03:03,653 Speaker 3: so it looks beautiful and stylish, and it's filmed in Oxford, 64 00:03:03,693 --> 00:03:07,853 Speaker 3: so it has this gorgeous historic backdra Lots of twists 65 00:03:07,853 --> 00:03:10,053 Speaker 3: and turns and lots of tension, but just one of 66 00:03:10,053 --> 00:03:12,693 Speaker 3: those shows that is just a joy to watch. You know. 67 00:03:12,693 --> 00:03:15,613 Speaker 3: It's well acted, it's well written. It's just great TV. 68 00:03:16,413 --> 00:03:19,373 Speaker 2: Fantastic sounds really good. Okay, so that's down Symmetry Road. 69 00:03:19,413 --> 00:03:22,693 Speaker 2: It's on Apple TV plus on Neon. Tell us about it, 70 00:03:23,053 --> 00:03:24,093 Speaker 2: Welcome to Dairy. 71 00:03:25,213 --> 00:03:26,933 Speaker 3: Yeah, look, I took one for the team this week. 72 00:03:26,973 --> 00:03:29,893 Speaker 3: This is a new horror series that's just come to Neon. 73 00:03:30,013 --> 00:03:33,693 Speaker 3: It's based by the book's by Stephen King, and you know, 74 00:03:33,853 --> 00:03:36,853 Speaker 3: supernatural horror is not really a genre of television that 75 00:03:36,893 --> 00:03:39,653 Speaker 3: I'm instinctively drawn to, but there has been a lot 76 00:03:39,733 --> 00:03:42,693 Speaker 3: of hype around this show. It's made by HBO and 77 00:03:42,733 --> 00:03:45,093 Speaker 3: it's a prequel to the movie It, so it's the 78 00:03:45,133 --> 00:03:48,933 Speaker 3: origin story of the evil clown penny Wise. It takes 79 00:03:48,933 --> 00:03:51,293 Speaker 3: place in the nineteen sixties and the town of Dairy 80 00:03:51,373 --> 00:03:55,693 Speaker 3: in Maine against a backdrop of the American Civil Rights 81 00:03:55,733 --> 00:03:59,053 Speaker 3: movement and the Cold War, and it's about the horrors 82 00:03:59,053 --> 00:04:01,013 Speaker 3: that take place when a new couple move to town 83 00:04:01,413 --> 00:04:03,373 Speaker 3: just as a young boy goes missing, and lots of 84 00:04:03,413 --> 00:04:06,533 Speaker 3: bad things happen afterwards. And you know, this, this is 85 00:04:06,613 --> 00:04:09,693 Speaker 3: everything I would have expected from a Stephen King horror series. 86 00:04:09,733 --> 00:04:13,893 Speaker 3: It's dark, it's creepy, it's gory, it's stressful. I mean, 87 00:04:13,933 --> 00:04:16,453 Speaker 3: if this is your genre, you're probably already all over this. 88 00:04:16,653 --> 00:04:20,013 Speaker 3: It tacks all the supernatural horror boxes. It's honoring the 89 00:04:20,093 --> 00:04:22,853 Speaker 3: films and books that have come before it. So I 90 00:04:22,853 --> 00:04:26,733 Speaker 3: think fans will enjoy discovering this early early chapter in 91 00:04:26,773 --> 00:04:29,613 Speaker 3: the story. But if you want something to make the 92 00:04:29,653 --> 00:04:31,693 Speaker 3: heart rate go up a bit this weekend, I would 93 00:04:31,693 --> 00:04:32,333 Speaker 3: give us a gar. 94 00:04:32,373 --> 00:04:35,773 Speaker 2: Okay, fantastic. So that's it. Welcome to Dary. I'm glad 95 00:04:35,813 --> 00:04:37,253 Speaker 2: you did it, because it's not going to be made. 96 00:04:37,413 --> 00:04:40,453 Speaker 2: Do you know. When I was thirteen, I had a 97 00:04:40,493 --> 00:04:44,053 Speaker 2: sleepover party for my birthday, and you know, I was 98 00:04:44,093 --> 00:04:46,133 Speaker 2: sort of thinking, oh, I'm a teenager, I very you know, 99 00:04:46,533 --> 00:04:50,693 Speaker 2: very important and mature and independent things. And I asked 100 00:04:50,773 --> 00:04:55,173 Speaker 2: my dad to rent out it the original and I 101 00:04:55,213 --> 00:04:58,173 Speaker 2: think it was an R eighteen film, so I'm surprised 102 00:04:58,173 --> 00:04:59,893 Speaker 2: he did it, but for whatever reason he didn't read 103 00:04:59,893 --> 00:05:02,373 Speaker 2: the cover. He got it the clown and we sat 104 00:05:02,413 --> 00:05:04,493 Speaker 2: there and watched it. And I don't think any of us, 105 00:05:04,573 --> 00:05:06,093 Speaker 2: any of me or my mate too, all had the 106 00:05:06,133 --> 00:05:08,653 Speaker 2: sleep over, had a moment's sleep that night. We were 107 00:05:08,733 --> 00:05:14,733 Speaker 2: so again. I still just remember being like petrified, and 108 00:05:15,093 --> 00:05:17,373 Speaker 2: it's all looking at each other being like we're having fun, right, 109 00:05:17,413 --> 00:05:19,413 Speaker 2: and it was like no one was having fun. 110 00:05:21,293 --> 00:05:23,373 Speaker 3: When you're never coming back to Jack's exactly. 111 00:05:23,493 --> 00:05:25,253 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm glad you watched it, and I don't have 112 00:05:25,333 --> 00:05:28,373 Speaker 2: to last, but not least honestly, this is my favorite 113 00:05:28,413 --> 00:05:30,413 Speaker 2: New Zealand show. And I know that sounds crazy, but 114 00:05:30,453 --> 00:05:33,973 Speaker 2: I just love the show so much. On TVNZ plus, 115 00:05:34,013 --> 00:05:36,853 Speaker 2: tell us about the return of Educators. 116 00:05:37,253 --> 00:05:38,893 Speaker 3: Yeah, this is one of my favorites too. This is 117 00:05:38,933 --> 00:05:42,413 Speaker 3: an Educators. A new season drops on TVNZ plus today. 118 00:05:42,413 --> 00:05:46,133 Speaker 3: This is the unscripted comedy series created by Jackie Van Beek, 119 00:05:46,213 --> 00:05:50,013 Speaker 3: Jesse Griffin and Johnny Bruff and it's a satire about 120 00:05:50,013 --> 00:05:52,453 Speaker 3: what goes on behind the scenes at a fictional New 121 00:05:52,533 --> 00:05:56,333 Speaker 3: Zealand high school, which is staffed by teachers who you 122 00:05:56,373 --> 00:05:58,813 Speaker 3: don't really want looking after your children. That they're not 123 00:05:58,933 --> 00:06:02,413 Speaker 3: very likable, they make terrible decisions, and they behave in 124 00:06:02,493 --> 00:06:05,693 Speaker 3: some very questionable ways, luckily for us, with some very 125 00:06:05,773 --> 00:06:09,093 Speaker 3: funny result and the comedy and this is quite dark 126 00:06:09,173 --> 00:06:11,733 Speaker 3: and awkward and may not be for everyone. But what 127 00:06:11,813 --> 00:06:15,213 Speaker 3: I really love about Educators is that it's unscripted. These 128 00:06:15,293 --> 00:06:18,893 Speaker 3: actors and comedians are improvising their way through every scene 129 00:06:18,933 --> 00:06:20,853 Speaker 3: and it is just such a delight. The cast is 130 00:06:20,893 --> 00:06:24,733 Speaker 3: so good and skilled and everything is unpredictable. And this 131 00:06:24,813 --> 00:06:28,293 Speaker 3: new season, season four has some amazing guest stars Tikeaway Tetty, 132 00:06:29,053 --> 00:06:32,733 Speaker 3: British comedy legend Julia Davis and Julian Barrett from The 133 00:06:32,773 --> 00:06:36,093 Speaker 3: Mighty Boush. So I love that season four just as strong, 134 00:06:36,293 --> 00:06:39,773 Speaker 3: just as funny, just as uncomfortable. I'm so glad it's back, 135 00:06:39,893 --> 00:06:43,293 Speaker 3: and all four seasons are up on TVZ plus SUPERB. 136 00:06:43,573 --> 00:06:45,933 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a tame family favorite that while I come 137 00:06:45,933 --> 00:06:49,053 Speaker 2: from a family of educators, and sometimes the jokes like 138 00:06:49,133 --> 00:06:51,613 Speaker 2: cut a little close to the bone. It's like, oh 139 00:06:51,653 --> 00:06:54,333 Speaker 2: my gosh, I know this is a comedy, but that's 140 00:06:54,573 --> 00:06:59,133 Speaker 2: alarmingly real too true. Yeah, Okay, So Educators is on 141 00:06:59,133 --> 00:07:01,413 Speaker 2: TV and Z plus it Welcome to Darry Is on 142 00:07:01,493 --> 00:07:04,973 Speaker 2: Neon Down Cemetery Road is on Apple TV.
