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.

Who's playing the smartest game so far, who’s flying under the radar, and who might be next for the chop?
Plus: that time we spotted David Olusoga filming in Newcastle, Clare Balding's 'national treasure' status, and the lack of famous people from Hull. So, the usual tangents...

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.
