We're wrapping up season 5, and WHAT a season we've all had!

We've decided to end on everyone's favourite stop-motion sheep, everyone's favourite stop-motion production company, and everyone's favourite Vic Reeves-performed theme song. Shaun the Sheep was a surprisingly emotional fare. Unsurprising was the amount we laughed during the research (binge-watching) period for this ridiculous and wonderful show.

Other discussions include the oppressive UK heat we're all currently working under and Elsie's strange taste in perfume.

We also spent some time reflecting on the madness of the last few months. We recorded this episode just after attending the International Women's Podcast Awards, and we know that this would not have been possible without our amazing listeners. You lot are truly the best, and that you still invite us into your ears season after season is an honour and a privilege.

Finally, if you miss us during our break, fear not! There is a whole bunch of fun bonus episodes on our Patreon and we will keep posting new ones over the Summer if you care to join us.

Baaaaah!

Three down! Two to go!!!

We are finally over half way through our diligent (sporadic) coverage of TSOTB.

We said it about season 2 and we're saying it again now - this show gets better and more emotional with every season.

There is much to discuss here including SEVEN new regular characters so strap in for as comprehensive a discussion as two hours would allow for.

We've got the arrival of the Golden Trio (Tracy, Jackie, Crash). We've got boyfriends (for Tracy AND ELAINE?!). Aaaaaaand we've got Michael...

Content warning: we will be talking about the current state of children's care homes in the UK. If this topic is difficult for you, take care and we will see you next time.

Here is a little excerpt from our Patreon episode on Paddington - a deeper discussion of some of the topics we touched on in the main feed. Link down below to subscribe for full bonus episodes!

...

We separated this conversation from the main feed episode as we love Paddington very much and wanted our regular episode to be a celebration of him (plus it was getting a bit long).

However, there has been a sharp vibe-shift in the public perception of this character/franchise, and it merits discussion.

In this bonus episode, we discuss how a radical celebration of immigration has been co-opted by the establishment to the point that Paddington is no longer recognised in the public consciousness as a refugee.

This is the story of how a little bear from Peru became yer liberal dad, the Ferryman, and the mascot of centrist Twitter. (Be warned, we will be reading Tweets from Richard Osman.)

As always, thank you for supporting us! We hope you enjoy.

An article we read and loved by Adam Thomas really informed us in the making of this episode is linked down below - well worth reading!
