staff
to clear the room. Stand up and walk now. Hello and welcome to The Watch. My name is Chris Ryan. I am an editor at the Rigger.com. Joining me in the studio. Her season one demise was greatly exaggerated. It's Joanna Robinson! Series one, Chris. Series one. You're right. Well, this is a very anglophilic pod today. Joe, thank you for joining me. Andy is out today. We have some news at the top. We're gonna talk about Sharon Horgan's uh new show. I don't know why I seem to pronounce that with like two R's and an I in Horgan, but I'm like
Just to get make sure people know she's Irish.
Yeah, exactly. Sharon Organ's new show Youth, the first two episodes of which are up on HBO. We're gonna talk a little bit about slow horses. We're gonna talk a little bit about the unfolding New York Times best of the century list for TV, uh, which we contributed to. Um, and it's like as we're recording, I think they've revealed up to twenty,
I believe. Um
I like that. I
know all I know is Andor's thirty two, which too low for Andor. Well we
well, I'm sure we have some common ground. We have some diversions. I I wanted to talk to you about the act of list making in general, but some news at the top first of all, how are you how you doing?
Oh I'm great. Uh here's my question about today. Is this our soft launch for Ringer UK? Where you and I move. To the UK and just talk about British television. You
know, over the years, every time I start to work up the courage to really interrogate it, they get a new prime minister and I'm like, okay, let's see how this one works out. Okay. You know, so like I uh I'm I'm pretty fired up about Burnham, Burn mentum. I'm feeling the burn. Uh Yeah, and and yet, you know, by the time I I start packing my bags, I'm gonna go in November, so hopefully
We're both going in November. Yeah.
Yassi's going in November. It's like there's just Didn't
Yassi just cut get back from that?
Okay, Mary UK,
Richard Osmond, we're coming for your job. That's right. That's what I have to say. Uh
which one of his jobs? Writing cozy mysteries. Cozy mysteries. Hosting the Friday Club numbers, you know? Speaking of England, speaking of British TV, which we we generally really like and has had such a profound impact on the way that American TV I think is made and and received and
especially right now it was.
Is part of like the internationalization, the globalization of television. Uh they did a uh an upfronts, you know, sort of uh a showing their wares for Netflix UK. Um, which uh was of special interest to me because I am of the opinion that a lot of their shows from this sort of region and this department of Netflix have been kind of keeping some of their prestige uh efforts afloat. Uh
Adolescence and baby reindeer.
Yeah. And and even stuff like Black Doves, which certainly will entertain your John Wick fans. Sure. I think has a lot of weight to it. And Joe Barton is a is a great writer. And um I really like can't wait for this to come back. So I can run down sort of the big announcements. Um Netflix UK. Witch Hunt, which is a dark drama, and these are log lines I'm taking from deadline. A dark drama about a modern day witch hunt, uh starring Sarah Glancashire, written by Abby Morgan and You Say What.
Could not be more for me.
This is I'm really glad you're doing it because these are These are just for me. Are
they not? Did they not say here are three shows for you, Joanna Robinson? A witch show, a Sarah Lancashire, an icon. Yeah. We are gonna talk about the New York Time list, but I don't know if you did this. Some something I did is I when I was looking at the sort of like various luminaries who had made their lists, I was playing a game where I would like look at the list and try to guess like kind of who the person was. Yes. Um that's fucked this. You know, I was like, Oh, this is and I you know, you can tell who's from the UK if they have Happy Valley on their list. Valley was on was the most, I would say, represented UK show from what I saw. Yes, we're just. Yes.
If you were involved in one side or the other of Brexit.
