Anton Du Beke and Craig Revel Horwood are bringing their friendship and humour to the masses with the launch of their brand-new podcast, Judgemental on 9th June — a deliciously tongue-in-cheek show where no topic is safe and no opinion is too bold.
Bringing together two of the nation’s most recognisable personalities — and perhaps one of entertainment’s most unexpected double acts — Judgemental sees Anton and Craig meet in the tearoom for a cuppa, a gossip, and a gloriously opinionated rummage through everything that’s on their minds.
Known for their wit, wisdom and perfectly timed wise cracks, Anton and Craig will cast their eyes and opinions on pop culture, petty etiquette dilemmas, guilty pleasures, national treasures, and the most outrageous stories sent in by listeners. Think friendly bickering, theatrical verdicts, and the kind of brutally funny honesty you only get when sharing stories with your best friends.
Each episode is focused on one topic which always splits opinion - think weddings, workplace dramas, fashion, romance - and then sweating the small stuff to give them the full Judgemental treatment. Like modern-day Roman emperors — only with better tailoring and sharper one-liners — Anton and Craig will decide whether each minor (often silly) issue earns a pinky-up of approval or a pinky-down of dismissal, while enjoying a lovely cream tea.
It's the season finale, so pull up the velvet curtain and cue the standing ovation as Craig Revel Horwood and Anton Du Beke take one last grand bow through the dazzling world of showbiz.
From audience members who think they're part of the cast to the eternal debate over singing along at musicals, the boys are lifting the curtain on theatre etiquette, reality TV, standing ovations, celebrity selfies and encore performances that somehow never seem to end.
Along the way, Craig reveals the career setback that accidentally launched his biggest success, shares the story of a West End charity striptease involving twelve men at a urinal, and reflects on the moments that put him on the map. Anton looks back on a lifetime on stage, from Strictly Come Dancing to the Royal Albert Hall, and explains why he'll never be ready to leave the spotlight behind.
Plus, a listener's ill-timed theatre whisper accidentally steals focus from an entire Shakespeare production, prompting one of the most gloriously awkward confessions of the series.
The curtain may be coming down on this season, but one thing remains centre stage: nobody does Judgemental quite like Craig and Anton.

Class Dismissed!
Pay attention class! This week, Craig Revel Horwood and Anton Du Beke are taking their seats at the back of the classroom and casting a very critical eye over all things School.
From recorder recitals that tested the patience of entire households to the teachers who changed their lives forever, the boys are rifling through their school memories with all the subtlety of a playground rumour. Expect strong opinions on packed lunches, school reunions, nativity plays, prom night, kiss chase and the eternal question: were conkers actually a sport?
Along the way, Anton returns to the scene of his beloved childhood conker tree, Craig reveals how a teacher's love of music set him on the path to stardom, and both share some eye-opening tales of old-school discipline that definitely wouldn't make it into today's lesson plans.
Plus, a listener confesses to one of the most spectacular acts of schoolyard betrayal imaginable, and another asks whether parents were right to secretly dispose of a recorder.
Homework is optional. Judgement is compulsory.

Champagne Problems
Party etiquette is on the menu for Craig Revel Horwood and Anton Du Beke this week, and they're serving up a celebration-sized helping of judgement.
From fancy dress triumphs and party game disasters to surprise parties and surprise snogs, the boys are popping the cork on everything that makes a gathering unforgettable (for all the wrong reasons). Expect strong opinions on plus-ones, smart casual dress codes, dinner party gifts, karaoke crimes and whether pass the parcel should come with a health warning.
Along the way, Craig reveals the secrets of his legendary 'Drag Lasagne' tradition, Anton explains why he'd happily attend a party at literally anyone else's house, and one listener discovers that what happens in the garden definitely doesn't stay in the garden.
So grab a party hat, pour yourself something fizzy and join us for an episode packed with confetti, catastrophes and enough social faux pas to burst a balloon.
The cake may be gone, but the judgement keeps on coming.

Sun, Sea, Salmonella
This week, Craig Revel Horwood and Anton Du Beke present your ultimate guide to surviving the summer holidays. Although, based on their combined travel record, you may be safer staying at home.
From school holiday price hikes and reclining airline seats to clapping when the plane lands and people who treat a week in Tenerife like a networking event, nothing escapes scrutiny.
Along the way, Anton relives childhood road trips across Europe, while Craig shares a frankly alarming collection of travel disasters involving muggings, burnt-down hotels, strip searches, and a Nile cruise that ended with salmonella.
Plus, the boys debate whether holiday friendships should stay by the pool, reveal their most unpopular travel opinions, and decide once and for all whether anyone should ever remove their socks on a flight.
The destination may vary, but the judgement is always all-inclusive.

The Devil Wears Judgemental
This week, Craig Revel Horwood and Anton Du Beke zip themselves into the wonderfully divisive world of fashion. From leopard print and shell suits to Crocs, double denim and plunging necklines, nothing in the wardrobe is safe from scrutiny.
Expect strong opinions on animal prints, nostalgic trips through the fashion disasters of the 70s and 80s, and a heated debate over whether anyone should be allowed to accessorise their footwear. Plus, Craig relives the traumatic tale of being stranded at a motorway service station in a leopard-print lurex top, while Anton reveals the fashion trends he'd happily bring back from the dead.
And later, the boys weigh in on a listener who secretly sold a birthday gift and is now facing the consequences. Fashion fades, but pettiness is forever.

Blood, Sweat & Family Tears
In this episode, Craig Revel Horwood and Anton Du Beke are turning their attention to families. The people who know you best and annoy you most. From favourite children and forgotten middle siblings to weird uncles, Christmas escape plans and the minefield of family WhatsApp groups, nothing is off limits.
The boys share stories from their very different childhoods in Australia and Kent, debate whether it's ever acceptable to tell someone else's children off, and tackle the age-old question: should you still be living with your parents after thirty? Plus, Craig reveals his competitive Solitaire obsession, Anton reminisces about growing up before iPads existed, and together they dish out some brutally honest advice on family dramas, accidental exclusions and treating your mum to a day she'll never forget.
Blood may be thicker than water, but when it comes to Judgemental, nobody gets a free pass.

Claws Out!
This week, Craig Revel Horwood and Anton Du Beke get their claws out as they sink their teeth into the wonderfully divisive world of pets. From dogs in beds and cats on leads to pet birthday parties, furry fashion and owners who treat their pets like their actual offspring, the boys are barking up all the wrong trees and loving every minute of it.
Expect catty remarks on pet parents, growling disapproval of face-licking, plenty of yapping about social media pet stars, and a few paws for thought on whether dogs should ever be allowed on the furniture.
Plus, Anton reveals the tail behind his unusually named dachshund, Craig shares some hair-raising anecdotes involving fish, cats and other household creatures, and a listener's fishy confession leaves the judges sniffing out the truth.
There'll be plenty to paws and reflect on, but one thing's for certain: while pets may be man's best friend, on Judgemental they're firmly in the doghouse. No ifs, no mutts, no maybes.

Wellness Gone Wild
This week, Craig Revel Horwood and Anton Du Beke are diving headfirst into the weird and wonderful world of health and wellness. From ice baths at dawn and vampire facials to biohacking, sound baths and wellness retreats that feel suspicious.
Expect fierce opinions on gym classes, terrible workout playlists, group exercise, wellness trends nobody can properly explain, and whether holding your tongue to the roof of your mouth can really transform your life.
Plus, a listener finds themselves gifted an "experimental" spa retreat involving herbal smoke, emotional release sessions and enough gong-based enlightenment to test any relationship. Is it a thoughtful present or a fast track to discovering far too much about your partner?
As always, there are golden envelopes, quickfire judgements, questionable advice and absolutely no shortage of opinions. Wellness may promise inner peace, but Judgemental certainly doesn't.

Food Fights
In this week's episode, Craig Revel Horwood and Anton Du Beke head into the kitchen and discover that food might just be the most divisive subject of all. From the correct way to cook eggs to whether crisps belong in sandwiches, the boys are serving up strong opinions with a generous side of pettiness.
Expect fierce debates about takeaway pizza, death row meals, powdered hotel scrambled eggs, pineapple on pizza, cream in carbonara, bottomless brunches and whether poached eggs should ever be attempted at home.
Plus, Craig reveals his guilty foodie pleasures, Anton admits to being deeply suspicious of prawns, and the pair weigh in on a listener's culinary confession involving a vegan friend and a very questionable decision.
Whether you're a fine dining fanatic or happiest with fish and chips on the beach, one thing is certain: when it comes to food, everyone thinks they're right. And Craig and Anton are no exception.

Workplace Drama
This week Craig and Anton step into the boardroom to rule on workplace chaos, from thermostat turf wars to never-ending email chains, voicemail dread, and that lethal line: “per my last email.” They have opinions. Very strong ones.
A listener sparks a full-blown identity crisis when their boss has called them the wrong name for months. Do you correct it… or just accept your fate? The boys are fired up.
Also under review: after-work drinks, Christmas parties, WFH etiquette, desk fans, office blankets, and the slow, painful death of the phone call.
Plus, Anton’s bizarre garden discovery, Craig’s secret past working under an alias, and a brutal verdict on whether surprising a mate at their first stand-up gig is supportive or sabotage.
Standards are high. HR is watching.

Love & Other Mistakes
In this episode, Craig Revel Horwood and Anton Du Beke turn their attention to the baffling world of modern dating. From first-date bowling dilemmas to the etiquette of buying gifts too soon, the boys are serving up strong opinions on romance, red flags and relationship rules.
Expect fierce debates on splitting the bill, ghosting, dating apps, open relationships, age gaps, kissing on the first date and whether honesty really is the best policy when you know within ten minutes that a date is going nowhere.
Plus, house renovations, the kick off of the World Cup and Anton's previous life as a painter decorator.
Love might be complicated, but Judgemental keeps things wonderfully simple.

Til Judgement Do Us Part
Welcome to Judgemental.
In this inaugural episode, Craig Revel Horwood and Anton Du Beke RSVP “yes” to weddings and “absolutely not” to almost everything else. From first dances that should never have left the rehearsal room to speeches that outstay their welcome, the boys are putting the big day under the microscope.
Expect fierce opinions on free bars, photo booths, Sweet Caroline, rogue best men, tie-less guests, and the eternal question: should anyone attempt the Dirty Dancing lift after four litres of wine?
Plus, we'll hear about how Craig and Anton first met, their similar upbringings despite being on opposite sides of the world and what was their biggest falling out to date.
Love may be blind, but Judgemental certainly isn’t.
