So. Beattie Edmondson on Graham Norton.

AIBU to think there isn't a hope in hell she'd be on there without her mum alongside her?

Is it impossible for the children of established actors to be good actors in their own right? Would you say that applies to the Redgraves, Emilia Fox, Laurence Fox, Joe Armstrong, Daniel Day-Lewis, Martin Clunes, Benedict Cumberbatch, the Cusacks, Rafe Spall, the Mills, David Troughton, Rory Kinnear ...

My point is that Graham Norton would not have had her on without her mum. Fine for her to be successful in her own right, that's great. But there is no way she has established herself enough to be on a show like that, whose guests are big draws.

Channing Tatum, ew. I saw Rob Brydon absolutely bomb as an MC. About as funny as woodworm in a cripple’s crutch as my dad would say

Blimey- proper luvvies, those Cluneses, aren't they?

She's good in Josh and her mum is in that too sometimes. The Immersive Theatre episode was hilarious! I do think that she is quite funny in her own right, though. I love Owen in Josh, as an aside!

Yes drigon, that episode was very funny.
