Everyone is talking about Adolescence

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

It's a big telly week - Nat and Jo discuss Adolescence, a new groundbreaking drama that everyone seems to be talking about. They talk everything from how it was all just one shot, to how incredible the performances are and how it's so thought provoking that it's made them think about how to educate and protect their own children. They also cover Michael Sheen's new documentary about debt where he gives £100,000 of his own money to wipe out a million pound's worth of debt for people in South Wales.

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.
