Our final episode semi-recorded at the Edinburgh Fringe 2024, and Sara thinks it's the 2nd best interview we've ever done.

It's the second of our summer specials where we talk TV with the most dazzling comedians at this year's Edinburgh Fringe. Today, it's Pierre Novellie.

Sara is deep in Edinburgh Fringe preparation, so it's a basic bitch episode: You'll get our guest, you'll get your email, then we're OUT. Not that our guest is a basic bitch, she's a real lady (like Easy V, who doesn't come for free.) She is Camilla Whitehill, creator of Channel 4's 'Big Mood'.

For the first time in forty-five years, Sara watched football. Despite how momentous this was, she was forbidden from using the experience for her Quick Watch.
