Simon is on holiday, so we're interrupting our usual podcast schedule with a review of a classic episode from Christmas Day 2008! We thought it would be primarily about Vic falling through the frozen lake, but it turned out to be largely about rabbit stew and rural church ownership battles, which on balance we probably enjoyed more.

What did you think of this episode? We'd love to hear your thoughts! You can watch it here (with intermittent audio at times) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IHovDyVdqcc

Classic ep: Victoria falls through the ice (Emmerdale 25th December 2008)

Cain tries some good old-fashioned kidnapping, Dr Todd continues her reign of quite confusing evil, people end long-running careers at the drop of a hat, and we see more darts than we could ever have wished for. Simon and Lizzie look over the past couple of weeks of Emmerdale. And maybe we got a shout out?!

Why we don't trust the Emmerdale writers any more (Emmerdale 4-15 May 2026)

This time we're reviewing a whole three weeks of Emmerdale, and things have certainly been happening in the village! We discuss how Mike Parr and Shebz Miah continue to uphold the whole programme, Lydia is relentlessly making rabbit stew and/or crocheting herself senseless, and, for some reason, include a deep dive on anaemia and haemochromotosis. Enjoy!

Ubiquitous rabbit stew (Emmerdale 13th April - 1st May 2026)

Dawn finds her line in the sand, Marlon and Paddy smash up furniture, Who Poisoned Kim and Who Hit Cain are solved in minutes... and we try to get to the bottom of what Ruby's wine business actually is, when you stop to think about it.

Waxing is farming content (Emmerdale 9-26 March 2026)

We pause our regular broadcasting to share a special episode where we teamed up with the wonderful Tamsin from the Pop Goes the Tam Tam podcast to talk about a classic Emmerdale episode, when Katie Sugden sadly fell to her death in a barn. We talk about the extent of Robert's culpability, the limited range of photos on Katie's phone, and so many more things... you can watch the original episode yourself here!

Classic ep (with special guest Tamsin from Pop Goes the Tam Tam!): Katie Sugden's death (Emmerdale 5th Feb 2015)

It's been a curious time in Emmerdale village - whilst an awful lot has been going on, there also seems to have been no real narrative progress in the last two weeks, but we still found a way to talk for over an hour about whether or not Joe Tate now has a side parting, why Lewis and Vinny's first kiss had to be quite so public, and which members of the Emmerdale cast Simon could win a fight against (not many).

Are sheep an aphrodisiac? (Emmerdale 23rd February - 6th March 2026)

It's been a busy couple of weeks in Emmerdale, with Bear's confession and arrest, Victoria leaving, Cain's cancer journey etc - so naturally we discuss Manpreet being one of the lads, Robron's curious sign obsession and the flimsiness of the Home Farm staircase.

p.s. keep listening to work out what's going on in the episode picture

Sentient gravel (Emmerdale 9-20 February 2026)

An episode which began with us saying we didn’t have much to say about what’s been happening in Emmerdale recently, and culminated in speculation about which characters would correctly use the subjunctive, Lizzie asking any listeners out there for legal advice and/or a graphic design job, and Simon giving some British Sign Language lessons via this non-visual medium.

Is it illegal for Graham to be alive? (Emmerdale 26th January - 6th February 2026)

Flashback week told us which unlikely candidate was the one to actually kill Ray - and we also turn our attention to hideous home decor, the whereabouts of Joe Tate's gym, #Robron engagement, and the police simply not caring about drug dealers, blackmail etc but losing their mind over a stolen van key.
