Speaker 1: hard to agree a TV show that everyone's happy to stream.
Speaker 1: Two from me. Just finished this week watching the brilliant
Speaker 1: fourth season on Amazon Prime of Clarkson's Farm. I actually
Speaker 1: think it's the best thing he's ever done. Jeremy and
Speaker 1: I love top Gear and known him for years, and
Speaker 1: James as well. But I'm telling now Clarkson's Farm what
Speaker 1: he's done for farmers all around the world. We see
Speaker 1: how hard they have it. And Jeremy's done a great thing.
Speaker 1: It's a very funny, heartfelt show. But you know, and
Speaker 1: he keeps saying constantly, this isn't my living, but this
Speaker 1: is heartbreaking even for me up against the weather, no
Speaker 1: matter how hard you work, And he was saying, there's
Speaker 1: no other job where it's not about your job. It's
Speaker 1: depending not on what you do about bloody weather. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So Clarkson's Farm, very funny, great fourth season. Finished that
Speaker 1: this week. And the other thing we've just started is
Speaker 1: I would say this is one of the best crime
Speaker 1: thrillers I've seen in the years. You might have seen
Speaker 1: everyone's raving them. It's called Department Q. It's new on Netflix. Yes,
Speaker 1: my god, it's so good. Perhaps you would love this
Speaker 1: really really really smart, brilliant show, great cast as well. However,
Speaker 1: I will say this, I watched an episode the other
Speaker 1: night and it's not a horror move or anything, but
Speaker 1: it's a chilling thriller, right, No, No, it's really good.
Speaker 1: But I had a nightmare. I actually had a nightmare
Speaker 1: about it that the car couldn't find me. It is
Speaker 1: a really full on nightment, you know out there, I still.
Speaker 3: Get terrified from nightmare.
Speaker 4: Is I would walk out and have to go out
Speaker 4: into the living room and put a light on to
Speaker 4: just calm down.
Speaker 1: I had to put the light on, I had to
Speaker 1: put the yeah yeah, and just reground. And normally what
Speaker 1: I did if I watch a scary TV show and
Speaker 1: I'll watch an episode of Seinfeld as a kind of
Speaker 1: a panic. And I didn't do that, and Mummy said
Speaker 1: to me, you need to watch Seinfelder. You might wet
Speaker 1: the bed. Pritty boy, I have been growing up.

Speaker 1: was talking about this essay she's talking about about sex
Speaker 1: has been popular culture, Dad presses play and it's just

Speaker 5: documentary that is in the making to find the Gibson
Speaker 5: guitar that Michael Fox played in in Back to the
Speaker 5: Future in that scene where they do the prom dance
Speaker 5: under the ocean. So they've embarked on this massive search
Speaker 5: to find the red Gibson guitar. So after that scene
Speaker 5: was shot, which was the very first scene that he did, apparently,
Speaker 5: because remember they replaced his character.
Speaker 2: He wasn't the original Martin Mick Fly.
Speaker 5: So then they brought Michael in and after the scene
Speaker 5: was shot, it sort of just disappeared, so it's gone.
