Lucy Beaumont and Sophie Willan: Terrible Quiz Shows and Northern Nostalgia

Comedians Lucy Beaumont and Sophie Willan join us this week for Table for Four. Over rhubarb and custard cocktails, fish fingers and steak pudding, Lucy and Sophie reminisce about the food they grew up eating, from Turkey Twizzlers and Fray Bentos pies to the nostalgic meals they still crave today. They chat about why neither of them loves cooking, the joy of a proper steak pudding, and Lucy explains how drinking custard became part of her post-baby diet. They also discuss quiz show disasters, dating apps, Celebrity Traitors, The Great British Sewing Bee and why working in comedy has brought them together time and again. There are stories about dolphins, dodgy fish facts and some of the funniest conversations we've had around the table.
