Oh good, because I need to talk to you about educating Yorkshire.

Have either of you seen this?

There's been a few educatings, hasn't now? You're right. But this, it's a brand new series on Channel 4. It was originally on 10 years ago and they've come back to the school. Oh, so it's the same county. I thought it might. There's a scope to go from county to county. Oh, they've done Essex. They've done some others. And Rita, of course. Well, Frank. But Yorkshire is my best. Yes. Because what's so brilliant about it? I mean, I love the fact they've gone back to the same school after 10 years because the issues they're facing are so different now. And there's one teacher saying, I'm convinced they've used Chat-GPT to write this essay. It doesn doesn't, don't you think it sounds a bit sophisticated the way they're talking about with Beth? But also, they've chosen to focus on such brilliant characters. There's one little girl, and honestly, she's brilliant. She says to her friend, she says, your tights are so holy. They're like the Bible. And I thought, I love this girl. Very good. And then the other thing, it's really funny. That's what they're teaching them nowadays.

The teacher, I love the teacher. He comes into the classroom, he says, look at the state of this place. Looks like TK. Max. Get tidying. But I would listen to him. Anyway, it's brilliant. It's kind of very joyful and uplifting without being remotely sentimental, which is my dream TV. So you're both going to have to watch it if you want to continue being my friends. Okay. My friend went to school in Yorkshire. He got an A-star and an E-bike goal. Oh, my God. You won't find that material on it. I'm a big fan of Peacemaker, series two of Peacemakers coming along. Frank, you're a comic book man. Yeah, I don't know why I've never got round to Peacemaker. I do know why I haven't, but tell me about it. John Cena is in it, and he's so funny. It's so annoying that he's that musly and famous for being a wrestler and also just a really

good comic actor.

It's based on the suicide squad from a film a few years ago and it's sort of tracking this

kind of silly, kind of incredibly jingoistic, naive mercenary character that John Sina plays.

It's really, really funny and I think it has one of the best dance sequence musical intros with the catchiest theme tunes of any show I've ever seen. Things you never thought Pierre Nivelli would say. I love it. I love it. Okay, I'm going to watch that because I do like John Cena. Well, I've been watching King and Conqueror. Of course, you know. I've watched all, I did that thing that you could watch all the episodes in a big lump on I play. You've beenched. So I did that. So it's about, you know, William the Conqueror, Harold Godwin, son of England. And you can guess how it ends. Spoiler alert. There's a caption that comes on the bottom of the screen that says, Hastings, and I thought, I know what's coming here. But it is, I really, it's very violent. There's heads coming off and lots of blood splattering about. Yeah. But it's great. It's James Norton. Okay, I'm in. All right, it's all right when they say it. I'm in, Frank. And an actor playing William the Conqueror who's got three names, and, you know, I don't have that kind of time in my life to learn that. So rude. But three names, come on, give me it right. And my friend Jason Forbes. Jason Forbes. He's in it? What is he playing? Thane Thomas.

Oh, wow, it's like the right-hand man.

He was honestly, tell him he was brilliant.

It's the most I've enjoyed a TV show for ages.

I absolutely, I was up late at night.

I was having it with lunch, breakfast to get through it.

So I'd massively recommend King and Conqueror.
