Exploring Talking Points and Characters in a New Show

We're 2 years on from the rollercoaster that was Normal People, and tonight on RTÉ another Sally Rooney adaptation, Conversations With Friends, comes to the small screen. Back behind the camera is director Lenny Abrahamson, who spoke to The Ian Dempsey Breakfast Show this morning ahead of the show's release.

The show stars Taylor Swift's boyfriend Joe Alwyn, and Ian didn't miss an opportunity to ask Lenny whether Taylor had seen the series. Lenny also joked that another Liveline discussion may be on the cards after one episode in particular. Catch Ian's full chat with Lenny by pressing the Play button above.
