Comedy and Darkness: Analyzing Film Characters

In this episode, Jen chats to Rebecca Schiller, co-founder and trustee of Birthrights, about what they’re doing to help pregnant women during the coronavirus outbreak. Mick has a natter with Kayleigh Llewellyn, writer and creator of award-winning BBC comedy drama series In My Skin. Rachel Reeves, now shadow Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, spoke to Jen back in March about her book Women of Westminster, and why we need to see more women in the top jobs in government.

In Jenny Off The Blocks, Jen recaps the many cancellations in women’s sport, Hannah stretches the meaning of disaster a bit, but has a lovely time as Dunleavy Does Disaster takes on Con (H)Air. Plus in the Bush Telegraph there are some Judgey McJudgetons, unlikely scapegoats and an unwelcome headline about domestic abuse as the UK Lockdown rumbles on. Thank Christ for marauding goats.
