It is lovely to spend time with two people who are not only insiders in the UK entertainment & creative industries but obviously love and value it enormously. Full of insights into how it all works, delicious gossip and genuine excitement. I didn't understand all the UK references but I don't care about that. waiting for the next episode impatiently.

Fun, funny & fascinating
