Siobhan McSweeney is very booked and busy at the moment.

She's hosting Irish Traders.

She's hosting the Great Broderick Throwdown.

She's acting in so many different things.

So I can understand there was obviously scheduling conflicts.

But she is going to be in this new season, just less so.

That might be a loss, but they've introduced a new character to kind of fill the gap that Della, Siobhan's character, had taken up in it.

And they've also got Jennifer, sorry, not Jennifer Saunders, Jennifer Saunders was in the Christmas special, Joanna Lumley as Amanda's mother.

And if they bring her more into this season, I think that they'll have the strengths that they need to keep this going.

I absolutely love it.

It's got such heart.

And the way they depict this story that centers around food and the service of food and the love of that as a craft, like you can just see there's a lot of passion flows into the show and you can enjoy that as a viewer.

And that episode of the wedding, a lot of it takes place underneath a table at the wedding.

And it's just such a they bring a lot of unique perspectives to these stories, I think.

Well, I've already kind of said I'm a big fan of Steve Coogan with all my mentions of Alan Partridge there.

And he is excellent as a dramatic actor as well.

We've all seen Philomena, I hope.

Brilliant film.

And this is him playing the head of UK Customs during a top-secret crackdown on drug smuggling in the 90s.

It launched on Netflix last week.
