Summary

Lindsay Duncan - you heard us! - is on stage at the National Theatre in a revival of Dodie Smith's Dear Octopus, so of course Jen jumped at the chance to chat to her. They were joined by the play's director, Emily Burns, to discuss family dynamics, age and a whole lot more. Hannah's also talking theatre this week, with Hannah Walker, creator of Gamble, a new show on tour around the country, which deals with her partner's struggle with gambling, how it's affected their relationship and what's helped them overcome it. Mickey's astride a horse, figuratively (probably), in this week's Rated or Dated, as we chat about 1974's Blazing Saddles. We're (almost) all about the netball in Jenny Off The Blocks and in BT we're talking abortion rights, budget cuts and some not hot felons. And one hot one. Learn more about your ad choices.

0:40.8	weaver line and apparently not after Jackie but in my heart yeah after Jackie I did read who they were all
0:46.8	named after and it was getting some people very agitated it was one of those this is so
0:51.9	woke look at this named after an AIDS hospital and the suffragettes. I noticed, you probably noticed too that they put
0:59.5	medicine Fawcett on their publicity who wasn't a suffragette? She was a suffragist, a suffragist people.
1:05.6	Exactly. I'm a big fan of the lioness line.
1:09.1	Yes, that one made my heart so I don't. No one in London is going to use those names they're not going to they might

1:19.1	fucking windrush line it's just not going to happen and also as someone else
1:23.0	Natalie Morris I think it was a journalist pointed out wouldn't it be a better
1:27.0	tribute to the wind rush generation if they actually paid them some
1:30.6	fucking compensation rather than wound a shackline after them.
1:34.7	Totally agree with that, Jen.
1:36.4	But I think it will be useful for tourists,
1:39.0	which in turn will make things easier for Londoners.
1:42.3	Because so many of them find themselves on that line between Houston and Wolf of Snow.
