What’s happening TSP listener pals!? Hope you’re all alright. There’s a slightly different vibe to this week’s episode in that we have no guest… as such.

Anyway, as you can probably tell by the chat in here. We’re itching to get back out in to the real world and record some more episodes for you but until then, this is a special Q and A episode of the Two

Happy Thursday everyone (delete) *clears throat Happy FRIDAY everyone! Hope you’re all doing ok? Do you know what I can’t wait for? Is to not say things like ‘ strange times, eh’ or ‘hope you’re all coping and getting through this the best you can’. Yeah, sick of that. When I’m actually just asking how your week was will be a joyous moment. Trust me, it’ll happen. Keep the faith you beautiful mob. For now, though, let’s keep the conversation going as it seems to be a comfort for us all

How the devil you? Good? Not great? In a slight fug? Well, let’s just hit the pause button on that right now, just for an hour or so and let’s focus on someone else shall we? Let’s do that. It’s Thursday so that means a new episode. Saying that, yes, I know we had a new episode this Tuesday but that was originally last Thursday’s episode but we couldn’t put it out due to an embargo so ....sorry, even we’re confused right now. Enough of that. We’re back on track and this week it’s a welcome return

Happy Thursday one and all. Hope you’re all doing well and* if you’re in the UK keeping to your groups of 6 and not giving any weight to what certain Britpop stars are wanging on about. But enough of *that*. Let’s not discuss it. It’s certainly something we don’t even touch on in this weeks episode because we're far too busy discussing creativity, growing up, moving around, writing and close knit families. There's a small natter about Hayley's new C4 series ADULT MATERIAL* which is discomforting,

The Two Shot Podcast ·

2020/09/11

Hi there TSP listening people. Bit of a different one this week. To mark World Suicide Prevention day, we've taken a slight detour from the norm to talk to two people about a pretty weighty film and some pretty weighty subjects. We shouldn't really go too much further without mentioning that this episode comes with some trigger warnings. There's a lot of discussion about, and descriptions of, suicide. If you're not feeling like you're in a headspace where you can deal with that then it might be wise

Happy Thursday listeners. We’ve back with another banger of an episode, and this week our guest is Samantha Morton. Craig and Sam had been trying to to make this recording work for an absolute age and whilst the current lockdown is in many ways shit, it does afford some people a bit of extra free time to get together for a TSP chinwag. Craig dialled in via the inter web earlier this week and got into it. Samantha is one of the finest actors of a generation with a load of amazing directorial credits
