Join Esther, Aoife and Neil as they mock, ridicule and (occasionally) praise the classic nostalgic TV shows of their long-long-ago youth. Seriously, why does everything hurt now?
Two things to know about this programme: 1, the people who made it called it Sherlock Holmes In The 22nd Century and didn't bother to think about what acronym that makes, and 2, the acronym is a very accurate representation of the show itself. It's the angriest we've ever seen Neil and the most contrite we've ever seen Esther. Aoife has a lot of opinions about little rat-faced men.

Episode 16: BraveStarr
Today we're talking all things BraveStarr, the tale of a futuristic space sheriff with the powers of the bear, hawk, wolf, puma, and apparently tardigrade. But more importantly, it's also the tale of BraveStarr's libertarian, leotard-wearing horse boyfriend and his 10-step haircare routine. There's also Sherlock Holmes and hallucinogenic hand lotion.
