The Rest Is Entertainment Presented By Sky

New Book Smells, Vanishing Shows & Never Auditioning

42 minutes | Thursday, 26 June 2025

Why do new books smell like THAT? Why is Netflix deleting our favourite shows from their archives - and can they ever be recovered? And why doesn't Denzel Washington need to audition?



Richard Osman and Marina Hyde answer your burning questions on the world of Entertainment - including why Gladiators is a bore to film and if the team behind the BBC comedy 'The Thick Of It' knew about Huw Edwards before the Met Police.
