Normal People, Extraction and Beat the Chasers

Stephen Dixon is back to help Katie and Claire check out the latest
TV offerings while Stevie recovers from coronavirus and it’s a very
wide ranging week.
They start with the BBC adaptation of best-selling novel Normal
People, Claire’s been chatting to one of the leads, Daisy
Edgar-Jones, who admits she didn’t read the book until after she’d
auditioned.
Netflix’s big new action flick Extraction has split the team,
Stephen and Claire think it’s well worth a watch, but Katie doesn’t
agree. We’d love to know who you think is right on this one –
please help us settle the debate once and for all.
Katie may have watched new Amazon Prime show Upload in completely
the wrong order but that didn’t stop her from really enjoying it
and it's not the only sci-fi this week, there’s another new
futuristic offering - this time from Sky, but Code 404 seems to be
missing the mark somewhat.
Plus there’s what Katie keeps describing as a “late-night” version
of The Chase! Claire’s been chatting to Chaser Shaun Wallace, aka
The Dark Destroyer, who claims he and the other Chasers aren’t
actually that competitive… Please do subscribe if you like what you
