Summary

Podcast is coming! That's right, the final season of Game Of Thrones landed this week and, like the Night King himself, we tore down The Wall and stormed forth to tackle it. In keeping with this theme, Terri seized control of the Seven Kingdoms, taking advantage of James' absence to install herself upon the Iron Throne as Queen Terri, Mother of podcasts, breaker of science-fiction and ruler of true crime documentaries. Despite this, We found time to dive into bleak BBC comedy Back To Life (don't call it the new Fleabag!) and Channel 4's culture-mashing four-part miniseries Chimerica. Plus a few tantalising breaking news tidbits and we make the bold choice to continue trying to make James laugh, even in his absence. NOTE: If you've not yet had a chance to watch the Game Of Thrones season opener then don't worry, you can still listen to the podcast as we've saved all the dragon chat for the end of the reviews section. Just skip everything between 41:38 and 51:37 and you'll be fine.

0:47.0	In another pilot TV podcast first, it's the first without our grumpy dragon and pelts loving leader James Dyer.
0:57.4	We are not sure what we're going to do without him for the next 60 minutes or so, but we're going to
1:00.9	limp on without him. So this week week this hugely important week I am joined in the limping by two
1:07.6	co-host who will attempt to fill our dire-shaped hole that sounded better in my head than it did coming out of my mouth.
1:15.2	Firstly, the man who usually rounds out our toxic triangle who couldn't convince any of his
1:20.3	famous friends to warm James's chair. It's Boyd Hilton hello hi boy feeling I'm feeling okay without the
1:27.1	dire wolf but it's weird but we've got a wonderful wonderful a third person anyway, in many ways a better person than James Daya.
1:36.0	I mean in every way, really?
1:38.0	I can't believe we've got into better than James and what are we in four minutes in?
