From filming Kat's famous poem scene to that stadium scene with Patrick, Gil spills some more behind the scenes secrets.

Georgie is joined by David Livingstone, the founder of Calamity Films ('Judy', 'Wimbledon') and writer Danny Brocklehurst ('Fool Me Once', 'Shameless') to chat all things 'Brassic' this week!

Edinburgh Fringe is here! Georgie chats to some of the pals she made when she performed there last year; starting with Tom Hazelden and Joe Pike, performers of the two person comedy show 'My Last Two Brain Cells'.

Georgie is then joined by Grace O'Keefe who will be performing 'Summoning Sondheim' from 13th - 25th August at 4pm at Just the Tonic at the Mash House.

Georgie asks them more about their previous experiences at Edinburgh, what they're most looking forward to about this year, what other acts they're excited to see and what they like watching on TV when they need to switch off.
