Backstage podcast: Lily Allen and Freema Agyeman, Obsession, Sam Neill, and Guy Ritchie | Ents & Arts News


Welcome to Backstage, the film and TV podcast from Sky News.

Whether you’re celebrating Easter, Ramadan, Passover, or just getting some well-earned rest over the Bank Holiday weekend, Sky’s entertainment reporter Claire Gregory, TV and film reviewer Stevie Wong, and Sky’s arts and entertainment correspondent Katie Spencer have all the TV and film you need.

Lily Allen and Freema Agyeman, stars of the new Margate-set Sky Atlantic drama Dreamland, are the big guests on this week’s show. They tell the team about the joys of British beaches, what it’s like playing sisters, and what Lily has learned from turning her hand from music to acting.

The team head through The Portable Door, and speak to stars Sam Neill and Patrick Gibson about the YA novel’s new film adaptation for Sky Cinema.

Guy Ritchie joins the podcast to talk about his new project Operation Fortune for Prime Video – expect Jason Statham, guns, and Hugh Grant as an evil billionaire.

And Netflix’s sexy new thriller, Obsessed, has the team hot under the collar – don’t watch it with your parents – but is it actually any good?

Plus, find out what the team made of Kathryn Hahn’s new Disney+ series, Tiny Beautiful Things, and tell me about it, stud! There’s a new Grease prequel series on Paramount+ that shows The Rise of The Pink Ladies – but will it get you saying rama-lama-lama-ka-dinga-da-dinga-dong?

Producers: David Chipakupaku and Jada-Kai Meosa John
