Patrolling the mediocracy
Podcast: 2019, the year of rewards for failure! Elon Musk, Greta Thunberg, The Two Ronnies, Theresa May, Bros, Alexa, Prince Andrew, Alan Turing, Dominic Cummings – you name it, they made it. Robin and Sean climb over the stinking debris. Contains New Year honours.
Podcast: Child labour, drug dealing, primitive sprouts, Mariah Carey and the spectre of death – it must be another season of Xmas TV ads. Robin and Sean sit down for the mandatory viewing session. Contains allegory.
Podcast: Why back one team when you can back two? Or three – or eight? Sean and Robin lurch over the betting landscape, in search of Solihull Moors. And QPR! Racing! NFL (not much)! I’m A Celebrity (recap)! Plus other speculative matters.
It was a tough choice between this and the interactive Black Mirror. But it’s no time of year for a DIY dystopia.
Podcast: Robin and Sean try to rekindle the festive fire by reading the Radio Times double issue and get exhausted. No wonder – talk about a biblical epic. Contains staples.
Podcast: Robin and Sean carve up the Christmas TV ads and search for meaning in Kevin the Carrot, Elton John and the KFC turkey. And Woolworths. Contains some stuffing.
Or is Tony dead? Never sure about who’s dead and who’s not.
Congratulations to the Partnership. They’ve really caught the zeitgeist of austerity Britain.
Or is it? Is it actually on Greenpeace? A right stramash in the media over this heartstring-stretcher.
Yeah, come on. Who buys Christmas presents at Currys PC World? I’ll tell you who.
Lidl haven’t even bothered with a title. Just ‘Christmas Advert 2018’. Jesus. But it’s not all about him.
