Culture Pigs – Détails, épisodes et analyse

In All’s Well That Ends Well Shakespeare once wrote that “no legacy is so rich as honesty” and that’s a lesson that some of the people covered in this week’s show might have done well to heed. Because let’s face it, legacy is a huge part of celebrity culture nowadays - building it, monetising it and just generally how not to leave a turd blocked toilet in your wake.

Our very first episode sees Kate and Rory gather around the trough to deconstruct the biggest (pop)culture stories of the week. From Oasis, to Taylor (both Swift and Liz) and why all wasn’t well and didn’t end well for Carrie Bradshaw’s Sex and The City multiverse. Because let's face it, when it comes to the writing on And Just Like That, Shakespeare it was not.
