What Shall We Watch? Classic Period Dramas

In this bonus episode Nat and Jo hear from listeners about their favourite Period Dramas. What qualifies as a period drama? The girls discuss how your classics can range from bonnets and carriages, to Victorian times, to the 1970s. They cover shows like Downton Abbey, Call the Midwife, and Gentleman Jack.

Natalie Cassidy and Joanna Page chat about all things on and off the telly. What they can’t stop watching, what they definitely aren’t going to bother with, new releases and comforting classics – TV is timeless and no telly is out of bounds. As well as having a natter about what’s on TV, they share backstage goss from the world of telly, whilst also cracking up about the more humbling moments in their lives. Self-confessed TV addicts and stars of two of the biggest shows on our screens, EastEnders and Gavin and Stacey, Natalie and Joanna are the perfect companions to see what’s occurring on and off the telly.
