On this week\u2019s episode of The Radio Times Podcast<\/a>, Jane Garvey and Rhianna Dhillon mark our cards for the week ahead.<\/p>\n The duo discuss Netflix\u2019s Snowflake Mountain<\/a> which follows a group of 10 \u201csnowflakes\u201d who have been branded as \u201cspoiled\u201d and \u201cwhiny\u201d and have been dumped in the wilderness \u2013 supposedly against their will \u2013 by their parents to go on a survival course. Garvey and Dhillon discuss their lack of connection with the characters at the core of this programme.<\/p>\n Also under the microscope is Channel 4\u2019s The Undeclared War<\/a>, Peter Kosminsky\u2019s new six-part thriller set in 2024 that depicts a cyber-attack on the UK from Russia. Dhillon unpicks some of the series\u2019 plot holes while complimenting the timely nature of the programme. Garvey compares her own real-life visit to GCHQ (the Government Communications Head Quarters) against that depicted in the series.<\/p> Two films are also dissected in this week\u2019s episode \u2013 Amazon Prime\u2019s Don\u2019t Make Me Go which follows a single dad diagnosed with a brain tumour who takes his daughter on a road-trip under the guise of going to a school reunion \u2013 but, with the intention to reunite his daughter with her estranged mother. The pair advise that it is a tear-jerker of a film \u2013 have tissues at the ready!<\/p>\n Last on the list of telly-to-review is Netflix\u2019s much-anticipated adaptation of Austen\u2019s Persuasion<\/a> starring Dakota Johnson. They commend the series for not taking itself seriously and for revolting against the usual stuffy period drama.<\/p>\n The Radio Times Podcast is taking a break for the Summer, but for your weekly fix of telly recommendations tune into SMART TV<\/a>.<\/i><\/strong><\/p>\n
