44. A Finite Number of Castles (Irish Stew)

Special guest! Special guest! One of our fantastic Patrons, Kevin, provides maternity cover for Helen this episode, as we get to grips with recording remotely - excuse the sound quality and enjoy a beautiful folk song from Pol to make up for it.

We discuss McShane’s work on Shrek, Em’s (now cancelled) upcoming trip to Dublin and Sylvia Plath’s beekeeping career as we review a Lovejoy episode with some terrifying hair, some full on cavorting and Not Rula Lenska (playing the female Olivier no less!) Mind out for the black wigglies!

The original Lovejoy episode was written by TR Bowen and directed by John Crome

Antique of the Week: 2019 apparently. Pubs. Em going on holidays.

Please support Royal Trinity Hospice if you can! You can still playalong with the #LovejoyLockdown quiz on Polly’s Youtube channel here.
