Channel 4 have made one of the better decisions by one of the main UK broadcasters with the decision to commission this pleasant, relaxed and rather comforting programme.
Ostensibly, the programme is simply about providing some suggestions for reading material during the UK's lockdown, and in that respect it does a reasonable job. However, it is the chat with the various guests via video link that really stood out here with Richard & Judy effortlessly switching from talking to an author about their latest work to asking what they have been drinking to get through the crisis - and occasionally having the tables turned on them by their guests.
What a pity there were only five episodes stripped across a single week and that the individual episodes were so brief. Whether during or post lockdown I for one would like to see this return.
