This week Benji get's us started with one of his favourites, yes, you guessed it, wrestling and why not? The team consider the phenomenon that is modern day wrestling. Phil has been watching new ITV drama Passenger, which he's still making his mind up about. A more reliable watch, he's been enjoying, again, is ER. We love ER.

Kelly started watching The Long Good Friday on Good Friday but fell asleep and was extended into Easter Saturday - she muses on the impact on the film. She's also started This Town which she believes is gonna be great - from Steven Knight who also made Peaky Blinders.

On the 'deep dive' this week Phil takes us through the new E4 show The Underdog: Josh Must Win - apparently a subversion of the reality show genre.

Finally, Benji tells us all about Man Down, a comedy starting Greg Davies and the late Rik Mayall - one for ages.

We have a new face on Screen Babble today, Kelly and Benji are joined by TV writer Phillip Cunnington. Philip kicks us off with what he's been watching, namely The Hunted on Channel 4. Benji tells us why there's more to Ryan Gosling than we may think, using the example of his role in The Believer where he plays a Jewish Neo-Nazi.

Kelly's been watching ITV's The Way, a dystopian drama about a break down in 'normal' law and order in Wales as well as Buried: The 1982 Alpine Meadows Avalanche on Netflix.

On the 'deep dive' Benji takes us through the BAFTA TV award nominations and hazards a few predictions. Philip talks to us about The Last Kingdom on this week's 'back to the future' which, with 5 series and a film, will keep you going for some time.

Thanks for listening.
