Elaine and Mark met at a movie club and got married in a brewery. Mark loves spreadsheets. Elaine can’t pronounce asterisk. We watch a lot of film and TV.

An occasional series where we make each other watch TV shows we loved as kids.
In this episode, Mark finally gets to indulge his Saved by the Bell obsession. We cover 8 episodes across the four seasons. Expect lots of nostalgia, way too many mentions of 90s bands, a weird segue into the TV channel Trouble, and some unexpected annulment chat. We start by diving into our history with the show, and end with a ‘where are they now?’ for the main cast.

An occasional series where we make each other watch TV shows we loved as kids.
In this episode, Elaine convinces Mark to watch the first season of the BBC's adaptation of The Chronicles of Narnia. But how will he react to the talking beavers, the dubious CGI, and a rather unsettling Mr Tumnus?
Next up: Mark's beloved Saved by the Bell. But if you have any shows you'd like us to cover, let us know!
