Summary

The wonderful Lisa Palfrey is back on our screens over the festive period, alongside all of Wales (almost), in BBC One comedy drama, Men Up*, about a 1994 trial for the then-new drug, Viagra. Hannah jumped at the opportunity to get on the Zoom with Lisa to talk about the show, as well as Welsh talent, Christopher Guest, and one of Hannah’s faves, the 2014 film Pride. Mick’s chatting to the legend that is Robyn Davidson, solo adventurer and author, whose wonderful new memoir, Unfinished Woman, explores unexpected fame, the slipperiness of memory and the impact of her mum’s suicide. In Jenny Off The Blocks, Jen’s talking about history-maker Rebecca Welch, who is set to become the first ever woman to referee a Premier League match. And did our hearts love, or indeed loathe till now? We find out by watching 1998’s Shakespeare In Love, in Rated or Dated. Meanwhile, given it's nearly Christmas, it's quiz time in BT! Head scratchers pertain to current cabinet ministers and a woman's missing identity. BIG CASH PRIZES! * Men Up is on BBC1 on Friday, December 29 at 9pm. It will also be available on the iPlayer.
