Summary
This week the podcast comes from a self-isolating Liv in London and a kind of isolated Charlotte in the
French countryside. We cover things to do while self-isolating at home (we got this!), ways to keep yourself from
becoming overwhelmed by the news with of course lots of Telly Talk. Highlights include
yet another conversation about Love is Blind, First Dates being back and Bake Off SU2C. We hope you are all safe
and well, and looking after each other. Sending so much love to everyone!

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the fringe of it. |
| 0:06.7 | Episode number 52. |
| 0:11.7 | I don't want to start out on the back foot, but I do want to apologise for the sound |
| 0:16.8 | because I am in France and live is in London, so we're trying our best. |
| 0:22.2 | I'm in the attic of a farmhouse in France. |
| 0:26.4 | Oh my God, I just, when you first told me this, all I can imagine, I said to you earlier, |
| 0:31.8 | was you being like Joe March in little women, like kind of having this really beautiful, |
| 0:37.3 | rustic attic. and you said that's |
| 0:40.5 | not quite the reality no it's not i've got the microphone propped up on a suitcase and there's i'm sat |
| 0:45.9 | on a sofa that's got an elephant print um all over it the elephant's got a little hat on, I think. And what else? There's various bits and |
| 0:57.9 | bobs in here. Just let me explain. Jack's parents have moved to France and we came out to visit them |

| 1:36.6 | Did you literally have to send out a communal text saying, please, no communication at three o'clock? |
| 1:41.8 | No, it was only to one person and that one person text me. Oh. How rude. Who I text you other than me? I'm offended. I know. I actually pay them to text me. It's Emily who works with me.
