For those outside the UK, Jeremy Vine is a perfect example of the sort of posh dimwit that is the bedrock of the British broadcast media, and they're all related to each other or married to each other or whatever.

There's so many of them, Channel 5 consists of little else.

Heads up, there is a new series of the podcast 'From the Oasthouse' on Audible. I'm giving s1 a listen first but looking forward to it.

will watch but damn between books and podcasts and this, there 's a lot of Coogan content out therewouldn't mind if he dropped all the partridge stuff and just did more series of the Trip
― calstars, Monday, 5 February 2024 22:01 (two months ago) link
This was first announced in 2019, you’ve had time to catch up (on the 900 hours of other Gibbons material they’ve pumped out since)
― bae (sic), Monday, 5 February 2024 22:31 (two months ago) link
The Gibbons material has all been strong imo, though I've not read the books since the autobiog.

Other than the two series of “This Time”, the Oasthouse podcast, and the Amazon special, has there been other AP/Coogan content in the last couple years?
― B. Amato (Boring, Maryland), Tuesday, 6 February 2024 08:47 (two months ago) link
Two books, which are also available in (necessary) audio book format.to be honest I have loved all of this stuff.

The only one I haven’t bothered watching is strategem, has coogan figured out how to do live comedy yet? Previous partridge et al live shows were dire
― Boris Yitsbin (wins), Tuesday, 6 February 2024 11:26 (two months ago) link
Yeah I saw strategem live and it was pretty terrible.
The little reunion at the end of the 3rd series of From the Oasthouse though was absolutely perfect and I loved it.
― JimD, Tuesday, 6 February 2024 11:43 (two months ago) link
Oh didn’t even know there was a third series of Oasthouse and a new book.
― B. Amato (Boring, Maryland), Tuesday, 6 February 2024 14:39 (two months ago) link
yeah there's a lot to keep up with, I think the Beacon book passed me by completely (audio-only stuff takes longer for me to find time to listen to, and it's usually worth listening to the books).
― kinder, Tuesday, 6 February 2024 16:41 (two months ago) link
I'm not complaining though, if the Gibbonses are reading...
