This week – in the words of George Michael - let’s go outside! We reflect on our tentative adventures outdoors as our shielding lockdown relaxes.

It’s been a bumper week for television. And we might need a new jingle as we’ve thrown in some films too! We have a difference of opinion after watching the first episode of US mini-series Mrs America (8:30) but both declare our undying love for BBC2’s comedy-drama There She Goes (16:53). Elaine reviews comedian Alex Brooker’s intimate documentary exploring his disability (featuring his amazing mum!) in Disability and Me (27:45). And Mark’s watched two new films: The Old Guard (33:06) on Netflix, and Bloodshot (41:19) at….wait for it…. THE CINEMA!

Our Date Night film – if you make it that far! Sorry, it’s a long pod this week – is Mark’s mum’s favourite supernatural horror Flatliners (1990) (47:00)
