<p>Wait! Let us in, dearest listeners. We’ve reached the climax of our S3E4 rewatch and it is everything we have been wanting to say to you for weeks. </p><p><br></p><p>As Pen’s disastrous evening comes to a close, we’ll be waving down her carriage, slipping down our sleeves and proofreading Colin’s list of reasons as to why Lord Alfred Debling is just not right for his Pen. </p><p><br></p><p>And while Colin lends his bestie a helping hand, we’ll be solving the mystery of a missing cravat, placing an order with Gen for a very slippy dress and writing up the cleaning bill for two traumatised Featherington footmen. </p><p><br></p><p>But let’s not forget to stop at Bridgerton House first for we believe there is a question to be asked. What else could there possibly be left to say about these two old friends? So much more, listeners. So much more. </p><p><br></p><p>Hit it, Archer: ♫ Dink, dink, dink, dink, dink. Dink, dink, dink, dink, dink. ♫</p><p><br></p><p>*</p><p><strong>Show Notes: Crumbs </strong></p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DIG5F3-p7cs/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">IG: @BridgertonNetflix Polin Day reel</a></p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DIMBWepoeq1/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">IG: @BridgertonNetflix Penelope’s birthday post</a></p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DIisQFeI6Zg/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Donate: Nicola Coughlan fundraiser for Not A Phase</a></p><p><a href="https://notaphase.org/shop/nap-x-dirtee-murfee-ally-t-shirt-white-text/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Shop: Not A Phase t-shirt</a></p><p><a href="https://www.globalproductionawards.com/shortlist-2025" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Global Production Awards 2025: Bridgerton shortlisted</a></p><p><a href="https://www.netflix.shop/en-gb/collections/new-arrivals/products/bridgerton-kanthony-heartthrob-unisex-t-shirt?srsltid=AfmBOoqb7msK2kSrAuCtAofwBQG7t0bdBQLQGww5MgPA90kUQMM5GcUy" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Netflix Shop: Kanthony T-shirt</a></p><p><a href="https://press.disney.co.uk/news/disney+-announce-casting-for-uk-original-drama-series-suspect:-the-shooting-of-jean-charles-de-menezes" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Disney+: Suspect starring Bert Seymour</a></p><p><a href="https://www.whatsonstage.com/news/nominees-for-2025-ian-charleson-award-revealed_1673529/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">What’s On Stage: Oli Higginson nominated for Ian Charleson Award</a></p><p><a href="https://octagonbolton.co.uk/news/full-cast-and-creatives-announced-for-pride-prejudice" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Octagon Bolton: Full cast announced for Pride & Prejudice starring Rosa Hesmondhalgh</a></p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/@somebenfen" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">YouTube: Ben Fensome’s Pride and Prejudice</a></p><p><a href="https://www.focusfeatures.com/pride_and_prejudice" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Focus Features: Pride & Prejudice (2005) rerelease</a> </p><p><br></p><p>*</p><p>Show Notes: Rewatch </p><p>Writers Guild Foundation Shavelson-Webb Library: https://www.wgfoundation.org/</p><p>"Old Friends."

<p>Dance cards at the ready, dear listener. This little love play is about to begin. </p><p><br></p><p>As Colin arrives fashionably late to the Queen’s Ball, we’ll be chasséing our way past the Lord Squad and lurking behind broken columns for the next part of our S3E4 rewatch. </p><p><br></p><p>After a danceus interruptus sends Debling’s proposal plans waltzing out the window, we’ll be battling it out with Eros and Psyche, not drinking lemonade with Miss Francesca and solving the mystery of the view across the square. </p><p><br></p><p>Perhaps you should put your armour back on, Colin. It appears you and Miss Featherington have something to resolve. </p><p><br></p><p>Do try not to injure yourself too badly, though. You’ll be needing those hands for later. </p><p><br></p><p>*</p><p><strong>Show Notes: Crumbs </strong></p><p><a href="https://ew.com/bridgerton-season-4-photos-eloise-penelope-new-characters-exclusive-11702652" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Entertainment Weekly: New stills from Bridgerton Season 4</a></p><p><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/PolinBridgerton/comments/1joxm5g/comment/mkv5w0w/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Reddit: Theory about Peneloise still</a></p><p><a href="https://www.whats-on-netflix.com/news/new-details-revealed-for-netflix-tudum-2025-live-stream/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">What’s On Netflix: Tudum 2025 info</a></p><p><a href="https://uk.news.yahoo.com/possible-bridgerton-filming-greenwich-iconic-103652103.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Yahoo!

<p>Clear your bottle-weary heads and step away from the windowsill, dearest listeners – we are in pursuit of some revelry. </p><p><br></p><p>Join us as we embark on the first part of our S3E4 rewatch, where we’ll be pulling out our Fuller Library cards to read up on the tragedy of a spinster, the fabled Northwest Passage and dropsy of a Featherington’s pancreas. </p><p><br></p><p>As Pen finds herself called upon by a very fine bird and a questionable potted plant, we’ll be crunching on mille-feuilles with the Marquess, lumbering in the hallway with Colin and checking the Bridgerton armour for signs of rust. </p><p><br></p><p>But let’s not miss the fruits of our labours, dearest listeners. Penelope may be getting a rather quick proposal tonight, but we’re not quite ready to close the book on one particular history of connection. </p><p><br></p><p>Can’t help but be drawn back into a story of love, Miss Featherington? We concur with you there. </p><p><br></p><p>*</p><p><strong>Show Notes: Crumbs </strong></p><p><a href="https://www.townandcountrymag.com/leisure/arts-and-culture/g63891995/bridgerton-cast-2025-sag-awards-photos/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Town & Country: Bridgerton Stars at the SAG Awards</a></p><p><a href="https://www.vogue.co.uk/gallery/nicola-coughlan-sag-awards-2025" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">British Vogue: Nicola Coughlan on her SAG Awards gown</a></p><p><a href="https://www.eonline.com/news/1413184/sag-awards-2025-bridgertons-luke-newton-gives-season-4-update" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">E!
