Episode notes

Morning/Afternoon/Evening! Whatever the time, a heartfelt welcome to EPISODE 6 of the QuaranTea Break Podcast. This is an absolute belter. Recorded in three locations across two time zones – Los Angeles, Kent and Peckham – comes the first international edition of the show as I spoke to the creators of The Inbetweeners, Iain Morris and Damon Beesley. Damon said at the end of the recording that it felt more like a Zoom call with mates, and I couldn’t agree more.

This is a wide-ranging conversation, starting with the usual – two incidents of police arriving with guns – before getting stuck into some lockdown chat and TV recommendations. We chat about life at the moment in Kent and LA, as well as imagining what would happen if The Inbetweeners had a lockdown episode (including a very funny IRL anecdote about not cleaning up sick). We talk extensively about their new comedy, The First Team, premiering on BBC Two on May 28. And we chat about Iain’s new project with Taika Waititi, Next Goal Wins. It really has a bit of everything, this episode.

We hit 31 in the Apple Podcast charts last week for TV & Film, and that’s all down to you for sharing and subscribing. If you like what you hear, please tell a friend. Or two. Or even a group WhatsApp. And please follow @QuaranTeaBreak on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook. See you very soon, and please stay indoors.
