Ep 44: Oscars, Gary-gate and Tories watching football

This week, Jemma and Marina, cordially invite you to The Troscars (that's the Trawl Oscars). Hugh Grant wins one for 'most whatevs performance on a red carpet' and there are many more virtual, meaningless awards to be bestowed throughout the ep. The 'Stop The Boats' saga rumbles on, with the policy only ever seeming more cruel the more you scrutinise it. 'Gary-gate' reached extraordinary proportions, culminating in the entire BBC Sports department not working in a heart-warming show of solidarity. Unfortunately, GB News were there to step into the breach with their version of the show. It was, as you might expect, terrible but pure gold for The Trawl. Tories pretended to love football and seemed unable to fathom that the ratings had anything to do with rubberneckingWhat a time to be alive.If you enjoy, please tell your friends and spread the word.Tweet us at @MarinaPurkiss @jemmaforte Or find Jemma on Instagram @jemmaforte Hosted on Acast.
