Spitting Image returns (but this time on YouTube), the F1 movie and the debt it owes to television, and the biggest Apple TV series you’ve never heard of.

This week, Peter and Jimmy discuss the news that Spitting Image is coming back as a YouTube series, and the ways producers can make premium content for YouTube while still turning a profit. And we ask whether Netflix have missed a trick after spending all that time, money, and effort teaching us all about F1 in Drive to Survive, only for Apple to swoop in and make the F1 movie? Plus, the joys of a bottle episode, how to get your kids to text you back, and The Rime of the Ancient Mariner.Jimmy Mulville is the co-founder and Chief Executive of Hat Trick Productions.
