[pressgang] Brilliant new Midday and Sawalha interview

[Claire Douglas]

Hi all

I read or saw an interview years ago where Steven said pretty much the same thing about whether Lynda was alive. I’d already thought that anyway from the episode itself.

Also nice to see Julia single out Paul Reynolds, who would have to be one of the most underrated comedy performers of the last few decades. He’s brilliant and I always thought he’d be such a bigger star.

Cheers

Claire
