Summary

Ricky Gervais is our guest on this week's show in a truly mammoth interview with Boyd about series 2 of After Life. As well as reviewing that show, we also tackle the heroically violent Gangs Of London from the director of The Raid, Gareth Evans, get into some courtroom drama with Chris Evans in Defending Jacob and feast our eyes on the Beeb's adaptation of Normal People. Plus a discussion (with photographic proof) of our three hosts' youth, back in the days when Boyd and James had hair and Terri was... well, still Terri.
