S04 E09 He Made Me Breathe Funny - with Harriet Walter

Did you think you'd pre-grieved, but then collapsed in a sobbing heap watching 'Church and State'? We are here with a hug and a hankie, and a front row seat courtesy of our guest, Dame Harriet Walter - aka Lady Caroline Collingwood. Should we go and pile in?

    Guys - you've been warned - we're getting philosophical this week. Big questions get asked, for example: if your dog craps in your garden how quickly do you clean it up? Also we were inundated with emails about Apple Cider Vinegar, so we talk through that but don't you worry, we'll get deep deep with White Lotus soon enough. See Sara at London's Soho theatre at the end of March: https://sohotheatre.com/events/sara-barron-anything-for-you/Write to us: fuckoff@firecrotchandnormcore.comSupport us financially for chillbains, new sofas, the works: patreon.com/theyliketowatchEdited by the soon-to-be quinquagenarian, Naughty E.

    Put on your puffy vest and pristine hiking boots and please give a warm Argestes welcome to Jesse Armstrong (he’s exceedingly easy to get.)If we got kissy, might he share plot details of ‘Frat Baby 2’?

    59:40|
    Come, come homeward. Promises to keep, and miles to go before we sleep...This week, we're talking Tern Haven with Jesse over a round of Hank Pierce's Break-bumpers. We’re kind of like eunuch besties.Can he recommend anything that Oprah isn’t pushing? Does he object to being fumbled by the invisible hand of the market, like a prim little matron? And does he kneel before His Majesty, the spinach?He'd better start speechifying, or we'll send him into the bathroom, and he will stay there until we have answers. (Or until he’s done something with himself.)Share your gossip, investments, art, movies, tittle-tattle, wider cultural interests: fuckoff@firecrotchandnormcore.comShove a bar of gold down our throat: https://www.patreon.com/THEYLIKETOWATCHFancy a little after-dinner stargaze? https://sohotheatre.com/events/sara-barron-anything-for-you/

    We hole up with Succession’s showrunner and involve him in our disgusting little stratagems, as we dig into Safe Room, written by Georgia Pritchett.Is he being stymied by a variety of enemies who are envious of his talents? Was he interested in politics from a young age? And is he allowed to just say numbers?Leave us on your pillow and hear our brilliance cascading.Keep close: fuckoff@firecrotchandnormcore.comGive us a donor boner: https://www.patreon.com/THEYLIKETOWATCHBuy Succession - The Scripts: https://www.faber.co.uk/product-category/non-fiction/film/screenplays/succession-the-scripts/
