Adolescence Conquers the World

It's the most talked-about show of the year so far. But has Netflix's 'Adolesence' put the final nail in the coffin of BBC and ITV drama comissioning? Richard and Marina discuss the sensational Stephen Graham drama.

After the iconic Chris Rock slap at the Oscars in 2023, Will Smith's career and reputation has been in the doldrums. Marina and Richard have a plan to save the Fresh Prince's career, and it includes a big-old slice of Humble Pie.
