Natalie Cassidy is having a moment - last month she appeared on stage at The Mighty Hoopla in a wedding dress playing the trumpet - a nod to her many years as Sonia Fowler in EastEnders. Her status as one of the younger huns is surely undeniable and she's now playing a leading role in Ricky Gervais' new animated project.

Natalie's always honest, and in this chat she opens up about the people who've helped her on her way, and what the future holds.

Alley Cats is an adult animated comedy created by Ricky Gervais, premiering on Netflix on August 7, 2026

It was with great sadness that we heard the news on Monday that Sam Neill had died at the age of 78.

Sam was a guest on White Wine Question Time last year - and so this week we're bringing you that conversation. He was full of enthusiasm, and such a great storyteller. We'll be pouring a glass and watching some Sam classics this weekend, and I hope you will be too.

Rest in Peace Sam.

In the 8+ years of this pod we haven't invited many guests back for a second appearance - but we knew we had to make an exception for Fern Britton. Small screen royalty Fern is a TV pioneer and a woman we can ALL learn from.

Now living in Cornwall, writing her incredibly successful novels and back on our screens with 'Inside the Vets' on ITV she shares her knowledge on coping with children leaving home, how to live without regret and how to deal with unwanted approaches in a restaurant (you'll want to hear this one!)

She's always good company so I hope you enjoy this episode.

Cheers
