Summary

Natalie Dormer is our guest on this week's show, chatting about her new series, Penny Dreadful: City Of Angels, and reminiscing about Game Of Thrones. Meanwhile, we resurrect a courtroom legend in HBO's Perry Mason, jump into the fourth season of Issa Rae's Insecure and dabble in a little lockdown monologuing with Alan Bennett's Talking Heads. Plus we celebrate Terri's birthday while casting aspersions over the veracity of her Northernness, she drinks an endless amount of Bucks Fizz, and there's a whole to-do about whether or not James should be allowed to play the guitar (categorically not).
