About this episode

Rob and Theo discuss the influence of JMW Turner, the design of Herman Miller's Aeron chair, and the upcoming World Cup match.

Rob and Theo are back in the same timezone, with Rob returning to his family abode in Herne Bay, Kent, a coastline that famously inspired Turner. On the other side of the crossword, they also consider the merits of chair designer Herman Miller's landmark Aeron, which Theo has recently become mildly obsessed with. There is also, inevitably, some world cup chatter, with England preparing to face Mexico in the Azteca. And seeing as this is the penultimate episode of season 3, be prepared for plentiful plugs of the finale/100th LIVE EPISODE next Sunday (12th July) at 3pm.
