Summary

Kay is still on holiday this week, but that’s okay because standing in for her is true crime maven Steph Seelan, plus Cynthia Nixon — although she’s less a Kay stand-in and more a guest, here to talk about the new season of And Just Like That (1:02:13-1:16:13). On this week’s show we have a trio of half hour wonders, specifically Channel 4’s Beth (1:33:57), ITV’s The Consultant (1:25:25), and BBC1’s St Denis Medical (1:42:43). What’s more, we take the opportunity not only to get the latest true crime recommendations from Steph, but to grill her on the genre’s appeal as a whole and try to discover why James wasn’t invited to her wedding.
