We're talking about sunburn (and how it always turns into a nice tan), fake tan and – eek – sunbeds in this week's episode, in honour of the millions of Irish people who are undoubtedly burnt to a crisp after the record-breaking weather of the past few weeks.

Beatrice is talking about the special-occasion fake tan, while Rosemary's confessing all about her sordid sunbed-laden past – and it didn't occur to either of us to question why it is that Irish people are quite so obsessed with painting themselves a slightly mucky shade of orange. We'll leave that to the philosophers.
