Hello everybody and welcome back to my podcast, Esme's Country Life. Today is episode number

191. Oh my gosh, we are almost at 200 episodes, which is absolutely wild. So if you have any

ideas of what we should do for the 200th episode, because I feel like that's pretty special.

Then let me know in the comments.

But anyway, today I have a very, very exciting episode because last night, at the time of

recording this, it was last night, I was invited to the BAFTAs, which basically is the British

version of the Oscars. It's so big, they actually have two. So at the beginning of the year, they had the film one. And I was very kindly invited by P&O Cruises to go to the TV one, which, yeah, was last night. So I'm going to be telling you all about the behind the scenes, the parties, everything, the celeb spotting too. But before we begin, I just want to say a huge thank

you to the sponsor of the podcast, Red Post. Red Post is an equestrian and country store based

in the UK and they also ship all over the world. And did you know that Red Post do so many

different grooming essentials? So maybe you need some new main and tail detangler. Maybe you need

some new purple shampoo because you have a grey horse and all you do is clean them, aka me.

Maybe you need to get some new hoof oil because summer's coming, show season, got to have some

nice hooves. You can get all of those products and more at

repostquestorun.co.uk. So go and check them out. Anyway, let's get in to today's

podcast episode because as I said in this week's midweek minipod, I have had like the most

wild week ever. So much so, I think the other wild thing, other than the BAFTAs, which

was also, that was probably more wild. Maybe we'll see it depends. Different levels of wild. Very

different levels of wild. But anyway, I thought I would talk all about the BAFTA's day because,

you know what? I think I might actually be able to do a whole

podcast feature length Saturday podcast episode about it because it has been the last 48 hours has

been a whirlwind. So starting off this is like as I kind of said before one of the big

biggest red carpet events in the UK. It is huge. I'm going to be, if you're not from the UK, because I do have an international audience that like, so listen, I'm probably going to be naming off some names and you're going to be like, Esme, I'm really sorry. I don't know who these people are. But if you're British, you'll be like, Oh my gosh, I know that person. I know that person. So I will explain a little bit of backstory.
