Hello and welcome to trashy divorces. Everybody's favorite good podcast about bad relationships. My name is Stacey and Alicia this week. We're celebrating the season. That we are. It's Alicia, everybody, and I am delighted you are here with us today for this twist of an across-the-pond messy triangle.

Last week, Stacey, we talked about the Nutsi Kennedy-Liz-a-thing, totally different kind

of triangle.

Such a triangle.

Figured we would smush something together for one spectacular episode for you today.

So first up for me, it is back from season 12, the often requested trashy divorce

of the darlings of British theater, Dame Emma Thompson, and Sir Kenneth Branow.

It's an oldie, but a goodie.

I wanted to re-air it from season 12 from so many years ago,

because come on, the holiday season is upon us, and that means it's time for love, actually,

because when I think of the holidays, I think Emma Thompson and Joni Mitchell, my friends.

Also, happy birthday, Kenneth Branow, born December 10th, the date of this airing, so I guess

that's good, too.

The season.

With an added twist.

Stacey, we're pulling out from trashy breakups, your profile, as we really are getting into the through line of the 20 British actors this week.

Yeah, I covered Helena Bonham Carter, who was the reason for the season of the breakup of your profilees.

And also we get into her long relationship with Tim Burton.

It really does always connect in the land of love,

trash candy, and tensile. Something like that. Cue up the Joni Mitchell. Let's go, go, go.

Okay, so we're going to fast forward to a more contemporary situation, which ironically

involves people who love period pieces.
