It’s Oscar season on Bottoms Up!

Alan shares a showbiz story about the time he drunkenly gatecrashed a party thrown by Dame Judi Dench - with Kate Hudson in tow. Lee also gives his verdict on Jessie Buckley, the hot favourite for Best Actress in Hamnet.

The boys then take on the latest viral pub challenge: Splitting the ‘G’ on a pint of Guinness just in time for St Patrick’s Day.

Elsewhere in the episode, Alan finally puts the tabloid rumours about him being tight to bed, a chat about posh people and their pets, and Lee brings along a red wine so good it makes Alan cry.

Plus, this week’s wine dilemma asks: what’s the perfect bottle to celebrate the end of pregnancy?

Wine expert Helena Nicklin (@helenasips) also joins for an interactive drink-along to explain exactly why chocolate ruins wine.
