“She left on a speedboat with her trumpet”

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

This week Nat can't stop watching Celebrity Big Brother and is cheering on her mate / EastEnders co-star Patsy Palmer. Jo has also persuaded Nat to watch her favourite drama ever called Bodies - a Jed Mercurio series set in a hospital. Plus they've been watching a new comedy drama on the BBC called Austin.

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:

18:10 - Celebrity Big Brother 29:37 - Bodies 34:50 - Austin
