In the next episode of Four Tall Towers Podcast, we're discussing everything about Series 4 Episode 6 The Midnight Surprise... and it involves a LOT of delicious food! ๐๐ฌ
Felicity and June are plotting a midnight adventure... and so are Alicia and Darrell! But will their plans go smoothly? Spoiler: probably not! ๐ฌ And in this episode, we really get to know Fred's character - and his love for fish and chips! (Who doesn't love vinegary chips?!) ๐๐
We chat about all the best bits from this slightly spooky episode, from missing tennis balls to outside midnight feasts - and we take a look at how this storyline compares to the books. ๐ Get ready for an episode filled with yummy treats and intriguing mysteries! ๐ Oh, and is it pathetic fallacy or prophetic fallacy? ๐ค Listen to us argue over it in this episode ๐

We're back from our annual trip to Cornwall and Devon - and we're continuing our journey through Malory Towers Series 4, this time with Episode 5 The Kiss! ๐
There are plenty of twists and turns in this episode, particularly for Gwen, who is determined to get a reply from Teddy. Mary-Lou and Ron try to let her down gently, but their attempts to help lead to a surprising romance! ๐ฎ And it's Irene's birthday, but she gets a shock when she finds out who her father's mystery woman is! ๐๐ต
We chat all about it, from Gwen showing her softer side to the first formers' new prank, to the symmetries between the two love stories in this episode. ๐ And there are some fantastic Gwen quotes in this one!! ๐

In the latest episode of Four Tall Towers Podcast, we're chatting all about Series 4 Episode 4 The Essay! ๐ Connie is struggling with her work, and Ruth is trying to help - but is her "helping" really just cheating?! And Felicity and June make a plan to go on a midnight adventure, and find the Cruel Captain's ghost! ๐๐ป๐ดโโ ๏ธ
In this episode, we discuss it all, including how we'd feel about sneaking out at night, the dynamic between Ruth and Connie, and our thoughts on Darrell's pick for the Head of First Form! We also talk about how we feel about the word "essay", and all the homework-based memories it brings back! ๐ฌ
Oh, and if you have any ideas for the name of that skeleton (or if you know what it's actually called), make sure you let us know! ๐๐ฆด

We discuss everything about this episode, including Darrell's bias towards Felicity, Matron's determination for a North Tower win and Clarissa's very "honourable" title. ๐ Oh, and did we mention there are many fantastic Gwen quotes in this episode?? ๐ฅณ

โMiss Grayling will see you nowโฆโ ๐๏ธ๐ซ
We had the absolute pleasure of talking with Jennifer Wigmore about her journey as Miss Grayling in Malory Towers, a role she reprises for Series 4 which we will be starting soon!
We discussed it all, from her very first scene to the emotional experience of saying goodbye to the role (twice!).
We spoke about friendships on set (including the brilliant Ashley McGuire as Matron), unforgettable filming moments, the atmosphere behind the scenes, and why strong female characters like Miss Grayling matter so much to young audiences.
Jennifer was funny, thoughtful, warm, and so generous with her time - and we genuinely think Malory Towers fans are going to love hearing her stories.
And yesโฆ Grace also tested her on how well she really knows Miss Grayling with a quiz at the end ๐
