About this listen
Justice for Jane! Before Sam and Natalia begin their deep dive into the HARRY POTTER film franchise, they look back at the most famous—or infamous—episode of the British cooking show, COME DINE WITH ME.
In January 2016, Channel 4 released series 37, episode 1 of COME DINE WITH ME, set in East Oxfordshire. And television history was made! Beset with tense dinner conversations and fraught personal politics, this episode ends with the iconic and viral, "Dear Lord, what a sad little life, Jane!" scene, from Peter Marsh. Sam and Natalia rewatch the full omnibus episode, exploring Jane and Peter's rivalry—and what it reveals about British culture.
Topics of conversation include UK reality TV shows, the Voyager Golden Record, German bluntness, TikTok, British cuisine, Reddit AMAs, title sequences, BRAINIAC, baby-food names, bad puns, EASTENDERS, ready meals, Victoria Beckham, and why it's so difficult to watch this episode on YouTube.
