What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
The rest is entertainment is presented by Octopus Energy. Now, one of the stranger signs of status in show business is being very, very hard to reach.
Exactly. You get to a certain level in the business where you don't want anyone to talk to you at all. And there are some people who are notoriously difficult to get hold of. So Christopher Nolan, for example, is famously almost completely... It doesn't even have a mobile phone. I mean, you literally cannot get hold of Christopher Miller. He said, of course he does. He's got a sneaky little mobile, has he?
Yeah.
He's on WhatsApp groups, but he doesn't want you to know that. Shall I tell you who's easy to get hold of? Who? Octopus Energy.
Yes.
So Octopus Energy, if you know the score, when one of your service providers writes to you, you've got a question for them or you're disputing something, you reply and it immediately says you cannot reply to this email. With Octopus Energy, any email they send you, you can reply to and it will go to your dedicated team, which to me feels like one of the greatest advancements I've heard of the last 30 or 40 years. You can actually reply to people.
Would it be possible to contact the people I'm paying my money to? Well, with Octopus email, you can reply directly to your own dedicated small team.
I mean, that's amazing, right? This episode is brought to you by EasyJet. You must have had that moment when you're watching a film, but you completely tune out the plot and start daydreaming about the location instead.
The bright Mediterranean colours on screen suddenly make the British weather look even greyer.
And sometimes it doesn't even take the Technicolour. Put on a black and white thriller set on the Italian coast and I'll enjoy the mystery, but part of me is already working out which flight gets me nearest, preferably with less identity theft and bluer skies.
For me, it is Greece. Once the rumours started that a certain star-studded musical was returning to the islands, that was all I needed. I was thinking about departures.

Hello and welcome to this episode of the Rest is Entertainment questions and answers edition. I'm Marina Hyde.
And I am Richard Osborne. We have lots of your questions. Thank you so much for sending them in. Are you ready?
Yeah. If we kick straight off. Hit me.
Okay. We're going to start with Madonna.
Okay.
You must.
Yeah.
Nathan Stucker has a question. Madonna has said that she and Universal have parted ways over her biopic, apparently starring Julia Garner. It seems like a fortune had been put into pre-production, including something called a Madonna boot camp. How often do films fall at the final hurdle? Is there a point where productions have to happen because of sunk costs?
Yeah, parted ways is one of those real newspaper words, isn't it? Newspaper phrases. They've parted ways, you know, like when you have to say a manager, you can't say a manager's going to be sacked because he could get sued, so you have to say that on the brink. Okay, yeah, they have 100% parted ways, let's put it that way, Nathan. This is a film about her, co-written by her and directed by her.
No way.
Yeah, I've got to question the wisdom of Universal's investment in that what we do know is that the script for this the Madonna biopic was I remember there are a lot of these kind of music biopics they're very successful and there's a kind of big trend for them the script was I know it was three hours plus I've talked to various people who were sort of connected or at least know some of the story there's a lot of fallout stories from this there was a Madonna boot camp yes she wanted candidates who for the role to be able to sing for the role as her yeah
