I would say that all good things must come to an end but this podcast has only existed for 3 weeks! Unfortunately, my co-host's priorities have changed and this was never designed to be a one-man show. So, The BritBox Brits is officially going on an indefinite hiatus.

The BritBox UK recommendation series returns. This time, Jon takes a look at The Beiderbecke Trilogy - one of Alan Plater's true masterpieces that may have unfortunately been lost in the endless shuffle of the streaming content churn for many. Listen as Jon explains why this unique mixture of comedy and thriller deserves a second look!

Jon flies solo in an ongoing series of "bitesize" recommendation episodes. Following the passing of Micheal Apted on January 7th, we take a quick look at the groundbreaking documentary 7 Up and its lifetime-spanning followups.
