Speaker 3: Netflix has just dropped a whole new category. It was
Speaker 3: a couple of days ago. It's called the Culture Edit
Speaker 3: and it's my new obsession. It is a series of videos.
Speaker 3: They've got lots of different series. So one of them
Speaker 3: is Open Door, which is kind of like MTV cribs.
Speaker 4: Well it's so good.
Speaker 3: So it's like only ten minute episodes and you get
Speaker 3: to go into celebrities houses and they take you through
Speaker 3: it oh wow, and you'll find it becomes a bit
Speaker 3: of a hate watch because you really start to see
Speaker 3: how out of touch these celebrities are. Greneth Porlchow complaining
Speaker 3: about oh you wouldn't believe the trouble I had trying
Speaker 3: to get this chandelier from a chutau in France.
Speaker 5: Rich people's problems beyond first world problems.
Speaker 4: And it's not quiet.
Speaker 3: It's not quite as good as MTV Cribs because obviously
Speaker 3: MTV Cribs is rappers. Yes, and they have the craziest houses.
Speaker 3: But it's still good to have a lot of a
Speaker 3: little peeky boo. Choice Advance got a what do you
Speaker 3: call it? A bath tub in his dining room? Oh?
Speaker 4: Crazy?
Speaker 5: Why?
Speaker 3: It's very odd, couldn't you You could?
Speaker 5: You could do both? Actually you could do both? All right?
Speaker 5: What's that?
Speaker 1: So?
Speaker 5: What's that called?
Speaker 4: That's called Open Door?
Speaker 3: And there's also another series called of Varying Quality. In

Speaker 4: In their handbags? Often?
Speaker 3: Do you or you know dol Jygabata and tell them
Speaker 3: what's in there?
Speaker 1: No? I sign up to a substat once a week
Speaker 1: what's in mine?
Speaker 5: Now? And really is what is in your back?
Speaker 1: And the amount of stuff I end up buying because
Speaker 1: they go that was like a nice pen, and found
Speaker 1: I'm just waiting on some pens that I saw in
Speaker 1: last week's one of it.
Speaker 5: Oh no, I'd watched that. I love paying through other
Speaker 5: people's bags.
Speaker 4: Louis Therow's bag. This is what was it?
Speaker 1: Actually?
Speaker 4: What do you think would be in Louis.
Speaker 5: Pad pencils, AirPods?
Speaker 4: Correct, it is very dull and a.
Speaker 1: Penguin classic novel, so like Charles Pickwick papers.
Speaker 4: There is a memoir in there. There's also dental floss,
Speaker 4: rain proof trousers.
Speaker 1: Because that's a very Louis proof. Well, he lives in
Speaker 1: England just in case he needs to. You might think
Speaker 1: it odd, but I think that's good planning.
Speaker 3: And he also wears a neck gator is that what
Speaker 3: you would call it?
Speaker 4: Where he gets recognized in public too much? So he
Speaker 4: has like a scarf, oh like a snool? What's around
Speaker 4: London like this?
Speaker 5: Mate? I mean you're not that famous. What are people
Speaker 5: going to say? Oh, they like your documentaries.
Speaker 4: I wouldn't think hide behind a mouse.
Speaker 5: I'll tell you who does.
Speaker 1: Who has his own strategy for dealing people to recognize
Speaker 1: him as Ricky Gervase. I've never seen anyone I walk
Speaker 1: quickly Ricky. It's almost like a run. And his theory
Speaker 1: is by the time people have gone wait, is that
Speaker 1: he's two hundred meters.
Speaker 5: Up the road. He walks so quickly he powers powers.
Speaker 4: That's a great strategy.
Speaker 5: It's better than a net Gator, Patty, What's I for you?
Speaker 5: This week?
Speaker 6: A great series I Will Find You with Sam Worthington
Speaker 6: on Netflix.
Speaker 5: As one of the best shows of the year.
Speaker 4: Love this.
Speaker 5: That's relentless, isn't.
Speaker 6: It Based on Harlan Coben's book. He's executive director as well.
Speaker 6: I really like this And I won't tell you what
Speaker 6: the plot is about because it would give it away,
Speaker 6: but it's probably.
Speaker 5: The title probulic. You know, I Will Find You.
Speaker 4: I know it's kind of you're looking for.
Speaker 6: But he's really intense in this. I wasn't, to be honest,
Speaker 6: not that much of a fan of Sam Worthington and
Speaker 6: until I saw this and I thought, No, he's brilliant
Speaker 6: in this.
Speaker 5: He carries the whole thing.
Speaker 1: The actress also plays is a sister in law, is
Speaker 1: fantastic in it as well.
Speaker 5: She's brilliant.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, no.
Speaker 6: I loved it and the backstories and how it's all unpeeled.
Speaker 4: It's great.
Speaker 6: I hadn't read the book before, so it was new
Speaker 6: to me. The other thing, we are rediscovering Supernatural with
Speaker 6: our fifteen year old. She loves that genre and she's
Speaker 6: right into it. And there was nothing better than Sunday.
Speaker 6: We were having a lazy day and we thought maybe
Speaker 6: we'll watch some after breakfast, so we called out, hey,
Speaker 6: do you want to come and watch some Supernatural? And
Speaker 6: she was there in a flash. And there is nothing better.
Speaker 1: Especially when you got like a couple of seasons. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's why I mean the girls, I got them into
Speaker 1: probably a way too young age of Gray's Anatomy. Yeah,
Speaker 1: ten was too young and to a ten year old
Speaker 1: and eight year old. Both of them now have phobias
Speaker 1: about medicine stuff like that, and that actually is on me.
Speaker 1: But twenty four seasons, we're still hanging out.
Speaker 5: What's crazy? Dad? You actually did?
Speaker 1: I'm sorry that is on me because everything goes wrong there, Yes,
Speaker 1: every week something must go wrong. It's not healthy for
Speaker 1: an eight year old and ten year old. But I
Speaker 1: know what you mean about having those shows you watch
Speaker 1: with your kids. People just search so much fuss about
Speaker 1: you've got to go and camping with your kids, and
Speaker 1: that is important, but actually that quality junk time watching it.
Speaker 5: It's the best just.
Speaker 6: Sitting on the couch right next to us in the moment,
Speaker 6: off our phones.
Speaker 5: You can say off your faces.
Speaker 6: No, but she's going camping with school and.
Speaker 1: So after breakfast or pants means five in the afternoon
Speaker 1: as he wakes up at four pm on a Saturday.
Speaker 1: And so.
Speaker 6: No, she's going on school camping four weeks. So I
Speaker 6: said to her last night, maybe it might be an
Speaker 6: idea to just go a bit lighter on the Supernatural
Speaker 6: because we're doing like three episodes a night.
Speaker 5: She might get scared.
Speaker 4: Anyway.
Speaker 6: The next thing that I'm really excited peaching Kingston, Well,
Speaker 6: it's kind of like a pudding. It's on social media everywhere,
Speaker 6: this dessert, and I've made one for Rios to taste
Speaker 6: and seeks so easy. All you do get a packet
Speaker 6: I used to of Kingston Biscuits, line a cake tin
Speaker 6: or a baking dish, and then just smack on the
Speaker 6: top a whole can of peaches in syrup.
Speaker 4: That's all it is.
Speaker 6: Put it in the oven, and.
Speaker 5: I guess you've got a really old relative because they canned.
Speaker 4: It was so funny.
Speaker 6: When we opened the can, Chris and I were like,
Speaker 6: oh my god, we can't remember the last time peaches
Speaker 6: we were like six years gave you.
Speaker 5: I am saying that my grandparents home those ten peaches
Speaker 5: and pineapple.
Speaker 4: Chunks, and anyway, here you go.
Speaker 6: I it everywhere on Instagram, easy and it caramelizes really beautifully,
Speaker 6: like I'm on Master Chef.
Speaker 1: Okay, master Chef and out of the can best week
Speaker 1: is can we got master Chef?
Speaker 4: That is good?
Speaker 5: Is that nice? That is a pretty small mouthful there.
Speaker 3: He had?
Speaker 5: Oh wow, it is I won't have any more this year, but.
Speaker 6: I freeze the rest, like she says, turn the lights
Speaker 6: down low, put some Barry White.
Speaker 5: On, and you in reality.
Speaker 6: Okay, it is so easy. It's dead easy and a
Speaker 6: great Why Why are you not convinced?
Speaker 5: It's just he literally had the he's doing more, he's taking.
Speaker 4: It's actually very nice. It is.
Speaker 5: All right. Bizarrely.
Speaker 1: One of mine is actually Harlan Coben a series of
Speaker 1: his books. He's written lots of books and he's done
Speaker 1: his big megateal with Netflix. He's a genius thriller writer.
Speaker 1: But he's just done a deal now. He wrote a
Speaker 1: series of books a couple years ago about a sports
Speaker 1: agent who is also kind of a detective there were
Speaker 1: great series of books there, Myron Bollatar series. It's like
Speaker 1: six or seven of them, brilliant books.
Speaker 5: I love them.
Speaker 1: You'll read them in a day or two, really addictive.
Speaker 1: And I actually message him two years ago of interview
Speaker 1: years ago when we sort of kept in touch. So
Speaker 1: you've got to do the Myron series. This has been
Speaker 1: announce they're doing. It's bringing it to Netflix.
Speaker 4: You should get a car on that.
Speaker 1: I don't think it was hard for Hing the workout
Speaker 1: these books that Netflix keep buying.
Speaker 5: Haven't got any more of them, but.
Speaker 1: Anyway, the books are really really good. So looking for
Speaker 1: a good series of books right now. Harlan Coben is
Speaker 1: the author, and it's the Myron Bolotas series, really really good.
Speaker 1: And then I'm going to tell you now about a
Speaker 1: TV show and this won't be for all of you
Speaker 1: when you hear what's about. And I wasn't sure whether
Speaker 1: I was going to watch it, but I'm so glad
Speaker 1: I watched it. I've never seen a TV show like this.
Speaker 1: It's a dramatization of the bombing in nineteen eighty eight
Speaker 1: of pan Am one oh three. It's called the Bombing
Speaker 1: of pan Am one oh three. And over two hundred
Speaker 1: and seventy people lost their lives. I've never seen a
Speaker 1: dramatization that. It's a very on Netflix show. It's not showy,
Speaker 1: it's very methodical. It's made with real dignity at times
Speaker 1: is more than quiet silences.
Speaker 5: It is I've never seen a.
Speaker 1: TV show like it is a dramatization, but I tell
Speaker 1: you what it left me feeling is it's more of
Speaker 1: a humanization about a horrific terrorist attack.
Speaker 5: It is incredible.
Speaker 1: Just the relentless pursuit of justice from just everyday Scottish
Speaker 1: police officers and also in America as well. It took
Speaker 1: the families over twelve years to see justice and only
Speaker 1: one person was ever prosecuted for the attack. It's stood
Speaker 1: a great source of upset for the families. But they
Speaker 1: made this show with the permission of the families that
Speaker 1: made it, in consultation with them, in collaboration with them.
Speaker 1: So it's a very very I've never seen a dramatization
Speaker 1: like it. It's incredible, and the way they ended it
Speaker 1: was a very respectful note. But also afterwards as they
Speaker 1: start to show you the real pictures of the people
Speaker 1: that you just spent the last couple of episodes seeing
Speaker 1: actors play that I found I left the end of
Speaker 1: it thinking I want to be more like those people
Speaker 1: who were so kind.
Speaker 5: There's one of my favorites. The story is there were
Speaker 5: these Scottish.
Speaker 1: Mums who became known as the laundry women, and throughout
Speaker 1: watching it, I kept pausing a couple of times, going,
Speaker 1: my god, I wonder if that's.
Speaker 5: True or they just added that.
Speaker 1: And on the FBI's own website, they've got the story
Speaker 1: of these Scottish women who volunteered. There were so many
Speaker 1: pieces of evidence that they had to have they couldn't
Speaker 1: return it to all the families. The scene that everything
Speaker 1: went over in Scotland was over seven hundred and fifty
Speaker 1: miles wide. It's one of the biggest crime scenes in
Speaker 1: the world. And there were literally hundreds of thousands of
Speaker 1: pieces of items that belonged to various passages and they
Speaker 1: didn't just have enough time to return it to the families.
Speaker 1: And then these mums said, well, do you want us
Speaker 1: to clean the stuff up? We will send it back.
Speaker 1: We'll take charge of that. They thought would take a
Speaker 1: couple of weeks. It took them over a year, but
Speaker 1: they sent back all the items to the families and
Speaker 1: just seeing those women those small acts of kindness. It
Speaker 1: was incredibly, very very moving TV show. It's an amazing show,
Speaker 1: I would say, and that's one of my shows of
Speaker 1: the year. Wow really and it's not. It is really sad,
Speaker 1: but it's just so well done. It reminds you that
Speaker 1: there are more good people in the world doing great
Speaker 1: things as well, and that small acts of kindness really
Speaker 1: do make a difference in somebody's life. It's called the
Speaker 1: Bombing of pan Am one oh three. It's a strange
Speaker 1: recommendation for me, but asking me really what i've really
Speaker 1: what's moved me more this year and actually made me
Speaker 1: think about how can we be more more kind in
Speaker 1: the world, you know, and not when someone asks you
Speaker 1: to do something more and more a spirit of more generosity.
Speaker 1: That's what it made me feel at the end of it. Anyway,
Speaker 1: it's on Netflix. It's a fantastic show, beautifully made. Those
Speaker 1: are our recommendations.
