“I want to live in the woods and keep wearing my sandals”

Natalie Cassidy and Joanna Page chat about all things on and off the telly.

Spring has sprung and Jo has her smelly sandals back on. They catch up about their weeks to find out how Jo's birthday went and who Nat met on This Morning. They reflect on the conversation Netflix's Adolescence has sparked about social media and how harmful it can be for children if it's not monitored. Nat has binged all of Last One Laughing UK on Amazon Prime and wonders if they were inspired by Sonia's trumpet. Plus they discuss two comedies they can't get enough of - Ted Lasso and The Change.

What they can’t stop watching, what they definitely aren’t going to bother with, new releases and comforting classics – TV is timeless and no telly is out of bounds. As well as having a natter about what’s on TV, they share backstage goss from the world of telly, whilst also cracking up about the more humbling moments in their lives. Self-confessed TV addicts and stars of two of the biggest shows on our screens, EastEnders and Gavin and Stacey, Natalie and Joanna are the perfect companions to see what’s occurring on and off the telly.

Timecodes for shows discussed today are:

23:19 - Ted Lasso (Apple TV+) 29:14 - The Change (Channel 4)
