Kim and Alice’s reputations are in tatters but thankfully we have a fancy friend to walk around the village with, because we’re joined by Dr Kayla Jones in this episode on the 1999 miniseries Wives and Daughters. We’re weeding through the British class system, celebrating the best of nerdy love stories, and questioning whether our favourite character died from a bad blood tube.

You can find Kayla’s brilliant period drama dissections on Regency Rumours.

Hold onto your heart, dame, because we’re leaping from an airplane into 1935 India with Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. Is this the most racist period drama we’ve ever covered? Yes. But Kim and Alice are swinging in to deliver you some glowing stones of truth about the goddess Kali, the supposed Thuggee Cult, and of course vampire bats.

A man! A war! A horse! A podcast! After several weeks adrift Alice and husband/audio producer Keith ended up on the mythical island of Ireland, where they went to the cinema. In this Fainting Couch episode we’re comparing Odysseuses (do you prefer sinewy-sad or hopping psychopath?), working out who broke Zeus’ law the hardest, and whacking bits of bronze together.

Kim and Alice will be reunited on 10 September for the start of a new season!
