Dawn and Sarah join Matt to talk about the best Christmas TV and review the first 4 new shows of the new year. Firstly, Sky and Peacock bring us Colin Firth in a harrowing retelling of one man's search for answers following the Lockerbie disaster. Then, James Norton stars as a father who learns he may have brought the wrong baby home from the hospital in ITV's melodramatic airport novel Playing Nice. Then, Channel 4 adapts French drama Astrid: A Murder in Paris, transporting the story of an autistic woman who works in the police records office from Paris to York. The results are mixed to be kind and mind-numbing to be truthful. Finally, the BBC helps fight off the January Blues with the return of The Traitors. All three podcast hosts are already hooked.

It's the final pod of 2024, looking back on the very best the TV had to offer. Luke and Dawn join Matt to count their personal Top 10's of the year whilst also counting down the favourites of the wider Custard TV team.

Expect discussions on Slow Horses, Mr & Mrs Smith, True Detective: Night Country, Rivals and many more.

In what is slowly becoming a festive tradition, members of the custardtv podcast get together to chat. Not to review a show, but to chat as friends and look back, look forward and try to make sense at the same time. Enjoy the freest podcast of the year as Matt, Dawn, Mo & Sarah get together for an end-of-year chat and unofficial Christmas party.

Matt and Luke board the TV Time Machine for one final time in 1999 to review 4 not so festive treats from December. Firstly, Martin Clunes stars in an off-kilter comedy drama about the inner workings of a shock TV show entitled 'Sex And Death' Then, there's the only Christmassy-sounding show, in BBC One's sort of family drama Last Christmas starring Pauline Quirke and Ray Winstone. Then, the pair examine the evolution of Graham Norton by looking back at his first Christmas Show as part of So Graham Norton on Channel 4. Lastly, the barely known comedy duo Matt Lucas and David Walliams get their first shot at TV with UK Play's Rock Profile in which the pair play over-the-top versions of Pop stars such as George Michael, the lads from Steps and Michael Jackson and his ever-loyal friend Elizabeth Taylor. Also, Matt tests Luke's music knowledge for the final time with the Christmas Chart of December 99 where Cliff Richard's The Millennium Prayer is still hanging around!

Matt is joined by podcast regulars Dawn Glen and Sophie Davies to review dark comedy No Good Deed on Netflix. Christmassy fare Bad Tidings on Sky as well as the final season of What We Do in the Shadows on Disney+.

Matt's back with Dawn Glen and Mo Walker to review the high-octane British spy thriller Black Doves on Netflix. Slightly less high-octane but still a spy thriller, The Agency over on Paramount+ as well as the high concept US drama Mrs Davis and true crime drama The Sticky from Prime Video.

Matt and Dawn are joined by fellow Maid for TV podcaster, Sarah Kennedy to review four new shows. Firstly, Ted Danson infiltrates a nursing home in new Netflix comedy A Man on the Inside. Colman Domingo stars in tense conspiracy thriller The Madness also on Netflix. Over on Disney+ the partly charming, but deeply confusing Interior Chinatown and Drag Queen comedy Smoggie Queens over on BBC iPlayer

Matt and Luke fire up the TV Time Machine to November of 1999. They're joined by site contributor Nick Bartlett to look back at the TV landscape of the time. Ant & Dec are given their first BBC game show with Friends Like These. Two surprisingly good dramas Warrirors on BBC One and Kid in the Corner on Channel 4. Finally, there's a forgotten ITV comedy starring Joanna Lumley as an entitled daytime soap star in Dr. Willoughby. Lastly, Matt challenges Luke on the charts of November '99.
