We present a pedagogical and critical overview of the two-channel Kondo model and its possible relevance to a number of non-Fermi-liquid alloys and compounds. We survey the properties of the model, how a magnetic two-channel Kondo effect might obtain for ions in metals, and a quadrupolar Kondo effect for ions in metals. We suggest that the incoherent metal behaviour of the two-channel Kondo-lattice model may be useful in understanding the unusual normal-state resistivity of and speculate that the residual resistivity and entropy of the two-channel lattice paramagnetic phase might be removed by either antiferromagnetic (or antiferroquadrupolar) ordering or by a superconducting transition to an odd-frequency pairing state.
