Speaker 1: Do the whole lot? All right?
Speaker 2: Double thumb's up for me? What are what have we
Speaker 2: all been enjoying this week? It's two movies, actually, and
Speaker 2: first one is a wholesome, joyous, deeply soul nourishing movie
Speaker 2: where it just makes you feel good about life. It's
Speaker 2: The Thursday Murder Club. These are mega best selling novels
Speaker 2: by actually a friend of mine, Richard Osborne.
Speaker 1: Richard's story is a lovely story.
Speaker 2: Richard was a really good but jobbing TV writer and
Speaker 2: producer and he was working on a TV show, a
Speaker 2: pilot for a TV show called Pointless, And there was
Speaker 2: a comedian Alexander Armstrong who was hosting it. And they
Speaker 2: tried out a lot of comedians to be a funny
Speaker 2: co host and hadn't found the right one, and quite
Speaker 2: a few times in run throughs, Richard, who was a
Speaker 2: producer on the show, would sit in for the comedian
Speaker 2: and then zand on one day said to.
Speaker 1: Richard a pub why don't you do it?
Speaker 2: You're the best person that we've had, because I don't
Speaker 2: want to be in front of the carricers. But that's
Speaker 2: actually a plus all these other comanis who are desperate
Speaker 2: to claw their way up out of stand up stages
Speaker 2: and small, tiny comedy clubs to be on primetime on
Speaker 2: BBC one. So Richard became a reluctant sidekick on TV.
Speaker 2: It went on to become one of the BBC's most
Speaker 2: successful quiz shows of the last ten years. Anyway, Richard
Speaker 2: was going through a bit of a thing and he
Speaker 2: wanted to just do something different to exercise his creative muscle,
Speaker 2: and starting to write a book.
Speaker 1: He had no public deal.
Speaker 2: He wrote it just fro himself about his mum was
Speaker 2: involved in some kind of retirement community and when he
Speaker 2: used to drive down and see her and all these
Speaker 2: people there that had led different lives that were retired
Speaker 2: detectives and all this, and they would talk about, you know,
Speaker 2: their lives and all this, and they still had all
Speaker 2: this knowledge and wisdom. He's starting the comming idea, what
Speaker 2: if they what if they solved unsolved crimes?
Speaker 1: You know?
Speaker 2: And so he just wrote a book to please himself
Speaker 2: for a year. Send it to his agent. Anyway, they've
Speaker 2: now sold millions of copies.
Speaker 1: Well, you know.
Speaker 2: And then it's a Netflix movie with Dame Helen, Mirren,
Speaker 2: Pierce Brosnan and Sir Being Kingsley and I watched it
Speaker 2: last weekend and we were like, I saw the trade.
Speaker 2: It was a bit you know that piano plinky punky music, bigger,
Speaker 2: you know the one there's a vicar on the bike
Speaker 2: sighting through.
Speaker 1: Said the bluebells are out, aren't they? Derek? And I'm like,
Speaker 1: I grew up with a lot of this. I don't know.
Speaker 2: And it's sad because the kids were like this, this
Speaker 2: seems so black, just because a lot of TV were
Speaker 2: watching the Excuse me, I thought it was all coming
Speaker 2: back up.
Speaker 4: It's about ready to get the bucket.
Speaker 1: It's good they already filled up. There were no empty buckets.
Speaker 1: It's all quite grim.
Speaker 2: A lot of stuff, and I watch it as well,
Speaker 2: and so actually you think this canna be boring?
Speaker 1: We watched it.
Speaker 2: It was so funny and the murder mystery in it
Speaker 2: is very well done, and it's great cast. I mean,
Speaker 2: you've got Piers Bros. And Dame Helen Mirren and Sir
Speaker 2: Ben Kingsley right now. Some of you won't realize he
Speaker 2: was a He won an oscar for playing Gandy. And
Speaker 2: so my daughter goes, who earse that guy? That guy,
Speaker 2: Sir Ben Kingsley played Gandy? And she went, but he
Speaker 2: isn't from India. And I never really thought about that,
Speaker 2: and I'm like, she googled the movie and she was like,
Speaker 2: but your nan was from India. She should have played
Speaker 2: Gandy or she wasn't an actress. And I said, look,
Speaker 2: I said, can we just father under it was a
Speaker 2: different time, no question that you not from an Indian mayor.
Speaker 2: I hadn't even thought about it until she brought it
Speaker 2: up with the right his side, with fresher eyes, to go, hey,
Speaker 2: he paid, he's English shape, he's a different well hopefully
Speaker 2: she wach is, hey, hey, Saturday replaces in Australia.
Speaker 1: I cannot recommend enough.
Speaker 2: I've not I've not read the books, okay, but I
Speaker 2: cannot recommend it enough.
Speaker 1: I thoroughly. I just enjoyed it, we all did.
Speaker 2: It gave us a nice glow afterwards, and right now
Speaker 2: in the world, you can't need enough of that. The
Speaker 2: other thing that I would really recommend is a great
Speaker 2: movie was co written and as co stars Brett Goldstein.
Speaker 2: Brett Goldstein is and Ted Lasso. He's one of the
Speaker 2: writers on that. He played Captain Roy. He is now
Speaker 2: in this beautiful and romantic drama that he co wrote
Speaker 2: with one of one of the head writers with Charlie
Speaker 2: Brookt and Black Mirror.
Speaker 1: It is is brilliant.
Speaker 2: It's an hour and a half and it is one
Speaker 2: of the best romantic dramas and most natural. You know
Speaker 2: where the dialogue is so good you're like, oh, obviously
Speaker 2: improvised a lot of this. It is so good. It's
Speaker 2: set in the future, but it's set now.
Speaker 1: What do you mean?
Speaker 2: So the cars are slightly different, they're not like hovering
Speaker 2: in the air, but it's clearly in the future. And
Speaker 2: there's now a company that will tell you who is
Speaker 2: your perfect match someone you've never met? Great, and it's
Speaker 2: that age old question what do you go with?
Speaker 1: Head or heart?
Speaker 2: It's an hour and a half. It is beautiful. I
Speaker 2: cannot It's my number one recommendation this weekend. It is
Speaker 2: called All of You. It is so good. Brett's great
Speaker 2: in it and his co Start Image and Boots as well.
Speaker 2: They're amazing. They're screen chemistry is so great. I cannot
