Dearest Listeners, dust off those giant white feathers and get ready to party like it's 1814 as we welcome in a brand-new social season during our Polin rewatch of S2E1, Capital R-Rake.
We'll be sneaking around London with our favourite Irish maid, trailing through daffodils with BFFs-'til-episode-8 Peneloise and musing on just how lovely Penelope looks in candlelight.
Elsewhere, our fangirl hearts squeal with joy as we stumble upon the Holy Grail of Polin lore: the scandalous thirdborn love letters - uh, we mean platonic correspondence. Right, Colin?
Speaking of, if anyone happens to see a guilt-ridden 6 ft tall gentleman with a newly-developed penchant for baby blue jackets, can you let him know we're looking for him?
