About this episode
Before they were the original co-hosts of The Great British Bake Off , Mel Giedroyc and Sue Perkins were comedy partners, and their new project Hitmen , imported from Sky to Peacock, returns them to their roots. Did it slay us? We'll talk about it! Around The Dial takes us through An American Pickle , Hard Knocks , and Star Trek: Lower Decks . For his Extra Credit, Taylor Cole -- inspired by The Great -- asks us to create our own heightened, quasi-comedic bio-series about a world leader of yesteryear. Then after naming the week's Winner and Loser, it's back to school for Game Time. Pop an extra-strong mint and join us!
