Episodes

Bournemouth, Weather Forecasts, Haircuts & Barbers, Cinemas, Thatcher, Amazing Spaces EP 139 27.06.2020

This week the Two Voices discuss “Corona virus is OVER” or you’d think so by looking at Bournemouth beach. As a nation obsessed with the weather we ask why forecasts are so inaccurate. Haircuts are back… we discuss if less talking in barber’s chair is a good thing. Plus… cinemas are re-opening. Nick hasn’t been since 2007 so he’s not rushing back. Andy’s TV recommendation for your viewing pleasure...

Pease Pudding, no-knead bread making, no coal, crafting on TV, 1940s radio EP 138 20.06.2020

This week we are back together and discuss how much bread we are making (and eating). Andy made us eat pease pudding… a strange… but tasty ancient tinned foodstuff! We talk about how coal hasn’t been burnt in UK power stations for over 60 days… the longest time ever. We also make two recommendations… Nick suggests a great YouTuber who makes bread making easy with no kneading required “Artisan brea...

Weather's turned, gameshow review, wildlife encounters, more YouTube recommendations EP 137 06.06.2020

The Two Voices start by reviewing ITV’s "Play your cards right". Now it’s aired we can tell you what it was like! The next show is our favourite… "The Price is Right". With all the “Come on down” running we question how sturdy studio seating is! Away from gameshows, We discuss how wildlife has come into our lives during lockdown. More birds and better flowers. “Springwatch” is back on air. Plus Th...

Barnard Castle, Archers, Slow Radio, Epic Gameshows EP 136 30.05.2020

This week…we couldn’t avoid a mention of Dominic Cummings (& his goings). Andy tells as about “The Archers” in lockdown & a fan-site Zoom meeting he was involved in.

Warden Hill Walk, triangulation pillars, Gardeners' World EP 135 19.05.2020

Nick and Andy are back together (socially distancing) for a walk in the countryside. They consider the weirdness of lockdown. They talk about BBC Gardeners' World and Nigel the dog. We like the show… but the presentation style is very slow and they seem to be filling it with rehashed features & viewers’ videos. We’re not convinced about this! Plus... we talk about the benefits of walking as we mak...

More MightyMKL flying talk, Eurovision, repairing appliances, Repair Shop on TV EP 134 09.05.2020

Christine Keeler, long running dramas, beds, Sky TV, This Life. EP 126 06.03.2020

We discuss lots of TV this week, starting with a wonderful TV series "The Trial of Christine Keeler".  It's an excellent BBC TV series. It gets us thinking about other BBC dramas.  We are surprised Holby and Casualty are still going.  Both hospital dramas never seem to run out of obvious accidents and incidents! Our friend Luke tells us about spending just £20 on a new bed.  We're shocked! Just 20...

Dentist, cardigans, plastic tax, Luke - Crackerjack and Kids TV. EP 123 07.02.2020

This week… dental pain… Nick has it but won’t dwell on it! Cardigans are now all the rage (apparently) with men. Tesco are ditching plastic wrap on multipacks of cans. Is the plastic tax working or are people just paying for higher quality bags? Asda are trialling stores where you take you own empty containers along. Luke tells us how hard he’s working at University (we don’t believe him). We disc...

Weight, fitness & steps, goodies, panettone, M&S, coffee, Vegan January EP 121 24.01.2020

Of course we talk about Vegan January in the UK and warn how a...

Apples, onions, Coldplay, US Gameshows, food fibs, frozen food EP 119 10.01.2020

There’s more apples and onions talk. We then discuss Coldplay and the mixed views the band generates… but they're ideal for telephone hold music! Then we review some classic American game shows we found over Christmas including Card Sharks, and Concentration. We are amazed how enthusiastic American contestants are. If you are listening from outside the UK, we wonder what British TV do you watch? E...

Wholefoods, news presentation, mint choc, vegan snacks, xmas snacks, 2020 food trends EP 116 20.12.2019

We continue our review of retailers in London's West End. There's Wholefoods. We think it's the nice lighting that attracts people in. Dutch store HEMA is a favourite. We look at Christmas treats. Also... We discuss TV news reading. Mary Nightingale puts her glasses ON at the end rather than during the news. Thankfully ITV has dropped the all knowing nod-winking news, but the BBC continues the sta...

More walking less texting, creams and potions, statistics, London Shopping. EP 115 06.12.2019

This week it’s Bleak House. It’s been Andy’s birthday (& was still 8 week’s from Christmas when we recorded this show.) He’s very curmudgeonly about Christmas. “Less texting and more looking” is this week’s phrase. We discuss face and hand cream and how it can vary so much in price. Andy sticks with Nivea! We discuss market research and excess packaging. Plus… we’ve visited John Lewis and Selfridg...
