TV, film and the wonderfully random pop culture rabbit holes they lead us down
The Honeymoon Period is a British TV and film podcast hosted by married couple Mark and Elaine Gregersen.
From the latest cinema releases and must-watch television to overlooked classics and cult favourites, we cover it all. Along with random references to Wizbit, Round the Twist, and Saved by the Bell. And that portrait of Mrs Mangel from 1987 Neighbours.
