    Married At First Sight: Tip Of The Iceberg?
    May 25 2026
    Is this the end for the hit reality dating show, Married At First Sight? Were the inaugural ‘Enhanced Games’ a hit or flop? And what does the end of Stephen Colbert’s Late Show tell us about where late-night TV is going? Channel 4 has pulled Married at First Sight UK from streaming in the wake of sexual abuse allegations by former participants. Richard Osman and Marina Hyde unpick what this means for Channel 4, and whether the controversial format is too toxic to save. The Enhanced Games saw elite athletes flock to Las Vegas for a contest where performance-enhancing drugs were encouraged, not banned. Will this herald a new age of sporting entertainment? Stephen Colbert has bid farewell to The Late Show, an institution of America's small screen. But what will happen to late-night TV without it? And what will Colbert do next?

So funny, so interesting, and such a joy. My favourite podcast by far. Thank you Richard and Marina

Simply the best

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
Hosts are both charming, knowledgeable and straight talking on all things entertainment. Natural rapport between both too

Topical banter with personality & punch

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
Richard and Marina are the best; wonderful chemistry (platonic), always insightful, interesting, fun, and thought-provoking. I love the frequent ’insider’ glimpses into TV, journalism, writing, and movies.

Balanced, funny, clever, and entertaining

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
Really like both presenters work so knew this would be good. Really interesting insight into how the entertainment industry ticks.

Another cracker from the ‘Rest Is’ stable

Although I do not watch much television, I like Richard Osman's books, so decided to give this a try. I do enjoy this overall but Marina Hyde seems determined to say everything as quickly as possible - I believe the word is gabbles... It makes listening to her both distracting and stressful.

That said, if you like television, music, theatre, books, this is an interesting listen, but I don't listen to any other podcast in which a presenter seems so determined to say as much as possible as quickly as possible. If she slowed down, it would be much more listenable.
