Is anyone watching the new series? I am watching the Stephen Fry episode. Surely some of the guests have been told what questions to ask?

I haven't yet, didn't think it was available yet. Loved the previous ones though. Will definitely tune in.

IAmKerplunk · 08/04/2026 16:58

I liked Stephen Fry’s description of bpd. I love this series.

Thanks @purpleme12 , couldn't find the thread!

Loved the episode with Sturgeon

Shes media trained to the hilt, but i loved seeing the singing at the end, that touched me 🥺

I know one of the people who are part of the group.
Its not scripted

purpleme12 · 11/04/2026 00:00

I thought tonight's episode was the best one out of them all

Best tv ever.

IAmKerplunk · 12/04/2026 18:45

When Nicola Sturgeon was asked if she had an affair with Alex Salmond 😂 I thought it was brave of her to talk about her miscarriage too. I thought she came across very well.

Nicola was very human and relatable.
The hair question was hilarious and she took it well.

Mrs Doubtfire - bloody hilarious! Ha ha
This is one of the best programmes on tv I think.

So agree.
Very few episodes when I haven't cried, but in a good way.

IAmKerplunk · 12/04/2026 20:33

Next week is Sir Lenny Henry - haven’t seen him in anything in ages so will be interested to see what he is like

OP posts:
TheOliveFinch · 15/04/2026 17:04

I’ve only watched the Stephen Fry episode I thought he was lovely with the audience and very open, I know he gets some hate on other boards but I like him on the whole

IAmKerplunk · 18/04/2026 09:36

Did anyone see last nights with Lenny Henry? I didn’t think it was as good as other episodes. He didn’t seem to engage as well as other celebrities and kept making lots of facial expressions that I didn’t like

OP posts:
AngleofTheNorth · 18/04/2026 10:49

I saw most of it and agree that his engagement was a bit lacking in places. It didn't make me warm to him, I hope it was okay for the participants.

I missed the Nicola Sturgeon one, which was the one I wanted to see.

thistimelastweek · 18/04/2026 12:59

Lenny was my least favourite too which surprised me.

It's available on Itvx 😊

MrTiddlesTheCat · 18/04/2026 13:22

I found the Nicola Sturgeon one deeply moving. Her honesty around her feeling guilty over her miscarriage was heartbreaking.

I'm a big Tenant fan but thought he spoke as if he were talking to children. I didn't like that.

Nicola Sturgeons episode is on ITVX - it’s a brilliant episode, she came across really well. I cried at parts.

Thank you @IAmKerplunk and @VimtoDemon , I'll have a look.

How weird! I’ve just looked on mine and it is showing the Nicola Sturgeon one as well as the LH one
