This week, we delve deep into the listener mailbag to talk about YouTube serials, turning points and structure, golden ages and auteurs, and the unexamined televisual treasures we loved as children. Also, Alastair stumbles into a ill-advised engineering metaphor, for neither the first nor the last time.

Thanks to Caitlin, Chris and Yvie for email, and to Liz and Nathan for awesomeness!
