Radio Times Podcast

Radio Times critic David Butcher picks his TV highlights for the week ahead. They don’t include the Platinum Jubilee (too many programmes, not enough time…) but they are all royally worth watching. There’s a comedy involving large snakes, a sort-of-sequel to The Wire, a memorable episode of Top Gear, and documentaries about football and orchestras that have more in common than you’d expect. He also suggests good films on free-to-air TV and, as always, one show to avoid. All parcelled and previewed in less time than it takes to troop a colour. Hosted on Acast.
