Summary

It's murder at the school gates this week (not literally) in BBC2's Motherland, more creepy shenanigans from anthology series The Terror, and The Walking Dead returns for its tenth season - yes, that's right, you've been watching these zombies for a full decade now. Plus Terri makes her triumphant return after a week off and James finally gets to put his oar in concerning Amazon's Carnival Row. Oh and it's worth mentioning that this podcast was recorded *before* the new Picard trailer dropped, making this at least three hours shorter than it otherwise would have been and marking a very lucky escape for all of you.

And I suppose Chris Hewitt is Mapbury's Rain Home, the mad supporting character who occasionally
