Tom and the crew discuss the Newgate Novel.
Article of Conversation: The Newgate Novels
Tropes:
- Cordon Bleugh Chef: Picalili on Toast, as well as Mustard. Matt has had the former, and Chris have claimed to had the latter. This turns into a tangent on what condiments work best on toast.
- A Good Name for a Rock Band: "The Furious Strumpets", as Gary names.
- Lame Pun Reaction: Matt responding to Tom's fact of the Newport Novel getting serialised, and when asked what they became, Matt responds with "Frosties". Cue groaning and a Facepalm from everyone.
- Take That!:
- To France, this is the first time it happens too. Gary and Chris mime police officers with baguettes instead of truncheons, and mention their bread "only lasts half a day".
- To Charles Dickens, which they all opine at how long-winded his novels are, as he was Only in It for the Money that was paid by the word count.
