Summary

BAFTA winning Fleabag star Sian Clifford may not have graced our screens with the infamous pencil haircut had it not been for her ‘Thank You, Next’ and overcoming a chapter in her life which at the time felt hideous but perhaps shaped her.

As well as Fleabag, you will also know Sian from starring in Vanity Fair and alongside Matthew Macfadyen in the miniseries Quiz, based on the coughing scandal on Who Wants to Be A Millionaire?

But what is Sian’s Thank you, Next…

0:00.0	Hello, I'm Angela Scanlan and welcome to the Thanks a Million mini pods. Now, whilst we're
0:06.3	waiting for series four and all the new thank yous we've been hearing about, I thought we'd revisit
0:11.3	the Thank you Next chapter of some of our guest's lives to remind us that we have got this.
0:17.2	Now, I'm always intrigued about the thank you next because it's about silver linings. It is a period in people's lives that has been and gone, which at the time felt like a complete disaster, but in hindsight, they're actually grateful for.
0:33.8	It can be a blessing in disguise, a storm weathered which has served you a lesson even though it's hideous at the time.
0:40.4	Something which you're very happy is over.
0:43.4	Draw a line under it.
0:45.4	Chalk it down to experience.
0:47.3	That is the vibe.
0:49.8	This week's thank you next is from Sharon Clifford.

1:02.6	multi-award-winning comedy series Flea bag.
1:05.9	She made us weep, like actually weep, and then cry with laughter when she presented the worst haircut of all time.
1:15.5	The pencil.
1:17.0	Iconic in all the wrong ways.
1:20.6	It's freaking brilliant.
1:23.6	Amongst other things, Sharon has also starred in Vanity Fair and alongside Matthew McFadden, you might say Faden.
1:29.9	I mean, I'm sure he says one way or the other, but it's a bit of a Gallagher Gallagher thing, I feel.
1:34.9	Anywho, it was a miniseries, and it was frigging brilliant.
1:38.0	It was about the coughing scandal on who wants to be in a millionaire.
1:42.3	Sharon was the wife, He was the husband.
