My name is Jamie Lang, and this is Great Company.

Hey guys, welcome back to Great Company.

Today's episode I'm really excited about because we have Jack Thorne on the show.

Now, some of you may know who Jack Thorne is and others you may not know about Jack Thorne, but you'll definitely know about his work.

Jack Thorne is the creator of the amazing hit TV show Adolescence, which just won a Golden Globe, which is incredible.

Adolescence absolutely boomed on Netflix and went viral for all of the right reasons.

It was a TV show about the dark side of social media and how it corrupts and warps and takes over young kids' minds at the moment.

Jack came on and we spoke a lot about social media.

We spoke a lot about how smartphones are damaging the younger generation and why young kids shouldn't have smartphones.

We spoke about Harry Potter.

He actually wrote and created Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, which is the massive West End production.

He's an amazing guy.

Been through a lot as well.

He had a disease which meant that his body was allergic to heat.

All of that is in the show, so get ready for it.

Now, before we start, I just want to ask you one thing.

Okay, one quick favor.

If you can please subscribe to our show, if you enjoy it, that is.

It keeps us making the show that you love, keeps getting the guests that we like to get, and keep making the show better and better each week.

If you can do that one thing, I'll thank you so much.
