Zara and I had never spoken before but we had a great chat and the story of her making her pilot is pretty unbelievable - not to mention damn impressive. 'Good For Her' is on iPlayer and I suggest you check it out! And obviously listen to this podcast. Okay thanks bye!

Michael is hilarious, I love his work and it was brilliant getting to speak to him about it - even when he did have a small power cut halfway through. Check it out!

It was really great chatting to Lucy and hearing about how much she misses sketch comedy. It was also really interesting to hear her take on characters - 'You can start with the wig or you can start with the voice'. And we talked a bit more about THAT Footlights panto (see Rufus Jones episode).
