Revising Our Thoughts on Gwyneth Paltrow, Dettol’s Dubious ’Back To Work’ Ads & The Best of Garage (Sort Of)

We reminisce over garage music (without being entirely sure what officially defines a garage track), discuss the dicey new Dettol ad that's got everyone's knickers in a twist and why we both felt ashamed when we read Gwyneth Paltrow's recent piece about the trauma of her 'conscious uncoupling', ten years ago.

Plus, the sensitive and moving BBC drama about a life never lived, Anthony; a brilliant pocket-sized book on race by Ijeoma Oluo; and Dolly's favourite show, Circus of Books, about a famous gay bookshop of the 1980s.

Oh! And Dolly's solved the mystery of Francesco - her long-term house ghost. You're welcome.
