In this episode of A Bit of Culture, Kam welcomes back two well-loved guests to the show, Bernice Chauly and Na'a Murad to discuss their undying love for pets, a new British teleseries and the time when kids could freely roam around on their bikes. Naturally Kam is excited about his new pet cat, but his joy is slowly followed by the realisation that pets are a reminder of short-term love before their inevitable death. Bernice also gives us an insight on Years and Years, HBO's latest drama about the terrifyingly plausible future of Britain and her ever-changing political landscape. The show ends on a melancholy note with Na'a's observations of modern-day childhood which has forgotten the dangerous thrill of monsoon drains and the everlasting bond of neighborhood gangs.
