Episode forty - "Towards Zero"

from Crime Drama Queens · host Alexis Roy and Lily Carrodus

Send us Fan MailIt's another Agatha Christie! Drink every time Lily says "I know we're not talking about the book, but..." Actually, don't, that would be dangerous. Protect the NHS.We had some dramas while recording this episode as a plusnet engineer started drilling into Lily's house, and then the internet cut out so she had to drive across town to keep recording elsewhere. But don't worry, we've cut all that from the edit...we had to, otherwise this episode would have been as long as Towards Zero itself, and if you've watched it, you'll know that's looooong. There's plenty to enjoy though, if like fabulous clothes, sets, lingering stares, and dodgy lipstick. And who doesn't?We find out more about Lex's exes, her try scoring celebration routine, and how she identifies herself as "just a person watching a thing." Lily, on the other hand, doesn't need to identify herself as anything. You can make your own assumptions about her as she hisses "genius" aggressively when talking about her pal, Agatha. #totallylegitThis podcast contains descriptions of fictionalised violence, and, of course, is full of SPOILERS.Our next episode will be on "Rosemary and Thyme" season three, episode five, "Three Legs Good."
