Kay rapidly wishes she’d never returned from holiday after coming back to this week’s show as she discovers that Boyd hasn’t saved her a copy of his book. But that’s at least partially made up for by the fact that she gets to talk to the legendary Sally Wainwright about her new BBC show Riot Women (1:09:56-1:24:35), which we also review. Plus Adjani Salmon and Ali Hughes are on to chat the latest series of BBC3’s excellent Dreaming Whilst Black (35:45-56:43). Elsewhere, we tackle Sky’s new thriller with Niamh Algar and Tom Hollander, The Iris Affair, plus Ryan Murphy’s latest series of Monster (albeit the first season without actual Ryan Murphy), which sees Charlie Hunnam as serial killer Ed Gein (1:24:35).
