Page by page, Tim and Simon make their way through it talking about the things you could buy in the 90s and memories that come with it.

Recorded in separate places and spliced together like Frankenstein's monster, this episode sees the boys shave their gardens and mow their pubes.

Yes, lawnmowers are the order of the day, so if your lawn is looking a bit tufty, get this in your ears.

Tim and Simon find themselves in isolation at the same time due to the coronovirus outbreak.

Not a usual Catalogue, more of a chat over Skype, with added alcohol.

But don't worry, it's still very daft.

Planers, mitre saws and plunge routers.

This episode has nothing to do with decorating.

    Ruthie's Table 4

    For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
