You're probably the last one to know it, but it's a terrific movie.

Thank you.

Now, the big buzz novel right now is a book called Yesteryear, and it's about a modern day trad wife influencer who wakes up one day and finds herself living in 1855.

Ellen Coyne, political correspondent of the Irish Times.

Good afternoon.

Ellen, you've read the book, but just briefly first, for anyone who's missed the whole trad wife thing, explain the background to all this.

Yes.

It is.

I find with Netflix shows, I skip the recap.

And with Apple shows, I have to watch the recap because they tend to be quite dense and meaty and there's a lot going on.

And this in the same way that season one was, which was a wrongful conviction plot.

We have Peter Capaldi, DCI, Daniel Hegarty back and we now know that he's corrupt.

And once again, we are joined by the ever-excellent Kush Jumbo as DS June Lenker.

She's still fighting the system.

In the first episode of this season, she becomes haunted by her failure to save a teenage boy being murdered by far-right extremists at a political rally.

And so we're off.

You know, we're straight back into it.
