Kelly & Tom recap Downton Abbey S4E7 and explore why the Dowager is dressed like an extra from Zoobilee Zoo, whether the Abbey is really just a halfway house for idiot servants, the potential success of a website called Witch Date, Daisy’s rapid transformation into Miss Havisham, exactly where a pig man’s place it (hint: it’s with the pigs),…
Kelly & Tom are just in love with Downton Abbey in this recap of S4E6. The objects of their rekindled affection include Baxter’s infuriatingly vague past, heathenish orange juice, hating Woodrow Wilson, the elusive Gutenberg Bible, Isobel’s official return to meddling, the sexploits of Leslie “Hutch” Hutchinson, Violet Kush, kangaroo thieves, Charles Blake’s unfortunate haircut, McG being…
Kelly & Tom wax cautiously optimistic for the rest of the season in this recap of Downton Abbey S4E5 as they talk refrigerators and the wacky adventures of Lord Byron.

Rejoice, Cousins new and old! It’s time to recap Downton Abbey S4E1 with Kelly & Tom and reveal a new UYDS! theme song.

UYDS! favorite Natasha Muse joins Kelly & Tom for this special holiday recap of Doctor Who Series 4, Episode 7, “The Unicorn & the Wasp.” The trio goes back in time to discover the smell of the 1920s, speculate about the origin of the record scratch, chat about hipster Christians, and wonder if Agatha Christie ever wrote a Choose Your Own…
The parade ends here for Kelly & Tom as they bid a fond farewell to CBatch & the gang. Despite having other Wannops to Wannop, they struggle to accurately identify all the soldiers in the trenches, applaud McKechnie’s inveterate weirdness, wonder if Sylvia’s a bitch because she’s constipated, lay the Groby tree to rest, and…
