We’re back after the festive break and exploring the Rom-Com genre with old hands Matthew and Jake and newbies Amy and Samantha.

The team pick out some favourites: Annie Hall (1977), When Harry Met Sally (1989) Notting Hill (1999) and the less well-known Swedish film Four More Years (2010).

The discussion naturally focusses on love and laughs and the difficulties of making comedy work across cultural boundaries. Is there such a thing as ‘British cosy’? Perhaps Hugh Grant might know…  

Our presenters are Matthew, Jake, Ben, Amy and Samantha. The episode was engineered and edited by Emily Main.
