Summary

In a special edition of Fortunately, comedian Shappi Khorsandi joins Fi and Jane for their 200th episode, with a live and socially distanced audience at London's Royal Festival Hall at the Southbank Centre. With the help of a high tech interactive Q&A, Garvey and Glover quiz the audience and face a few probing questions themselves. They are later joined by Shappi, who tells them about her upcoming book Kissing Emma, Rambo crushes and likens the ladies to Muppets. The next four episodes will be 'your chance to enjoy some repeats' and Fi and Jane will return in September. Get in touch: [email protected]

Thank you very, very much for coming, because there must have been a few of you who looked

at the temperature and thought, nah, is that wise. You all seem to look remarkably well,

2:11.1

I was expecting if I can be honest after that thunder shower, slightly worse hair,
