About this episode

Critics Scott Bryan and Hayley Campbell and 5 Live’s Nihal Arthanayake on the week’s biggest new TV and streaming shows.

It’s an end of the era as the Game of Thrones juggernaut shudders to a halt, but does the finale live up to expectations (we’re spoiler free until 56:40, so if you don’t want to know what happens, make sure you don’t listen beyond that).

Madonna performed at Eurovision and it’s probably safe to say it didn’t exactly go down well. So what DO you say to a global megastar after a less than perfect routine?

Plus Shane Meadows returns to TV with Channel 4’s The Virtues and the team are divided over Netflix’s What/If.
