Massively binge worthy

I giddily gobbled this series up! I so hope there is a season two. Loved every minute.

Bestfriendkev ,

Excellent!! Series 2 please!!!

Must listen for any JD & NO fan! But a great listen for anyone interested in the history of music.

In the words of another legendary Manchester band, “Please please please let me get what I want.” More episodes!!!

That’s all.
