Episode notes

HELLO! We might have reached the bit in lockdown where we’re all cutting our own hair with the wild abandonment of a drunk sheep shearer, but episode 5 is here as a tea break from all of that. And it’s a good one. My conversation today is with Tracy-Ann Oberman (Friday Night Dinner, Toast Of London, Doctor Who), who is just a glorious person. So warm and interesting and she, correctly, takes her tea very strong.


We spoke about the effects of lockdown on work in a really honest chat. She spoke about cancelled projects and adjusting to the new world, and how she’s still managing to film a new comedy drama direct from her home. She’s one of the hardest working actors out there, and three of her shows have landed all at once – Friday Night Dinner, After Life and Code 404. We speak about them all, plus Doctor Who in lockdown and a new Russell T Davies project.
