I recently watched all of Fleabag and really liked it. Took a couple of episodes to really get into it.

New episode of fleabag this past week was fantastic, dark and just as funny as the first season

Every single time. After a long period of staying away of this talk show crap interviews, I watch one, and bwah.

The only more or less tolerable one is Graham Norton.

She's great. Fleabag was good and Eve was great

All I have seen of her is her role in Solo, which I hated but I am really curious about Fleabag, is she similar in that show to her character in Solo (minus the being a robot and what not, obviously)? Because I really hope not.

HOW DO YOU AVOID-- HOW DO YOU INCIDENTALLY NOT KNOW SOMETHING ABOUT "STAR WARS." >> BLAME THE PARENTS. >> Stephen: THAT'S ALWAYS A GOOD IDEA. >> IT WAS GREAT, BECAUSE WHEN I DID DISCOVER THE FILM WAS GOING AROUND SAYING, "GUYS, HAVE YOU SEEN "STAR WARS?" REALLY GOOD. EPIC STORY. >> Stephen: YOU STARTED OFF AS A THEATER ACTRESS? >> YEAH, YEAH, THAT'S RIGHT, YEAH. I COULDN'T GET ARREST FORWARD A FEW YEARS TRYING TO BE A THEATER ACTRESS, AND THEN I ENDED UP WRITING "FLEABAG," WHICH IS THE THING THAT KIND OF ENDED UP GIVING ME A CAREER. >> Stephen: IT'S GOING INTO ITS SECOND SEASON OVER IN THE U.K. AS A TELEVISION SHOW, BUT IT STARTED ON STAGE? >> YES, IT STARTED ON STAGE, AND IT WAS A ONE-WOMAN SHOW.

AND I ASSUME THAT'S YOUR FACE RIGHT THERE. >> THAT'S ME. <i> ( APPLAUSE )</i> YUP. THAT WAS A PRETTY GOOD PHOTO SHOOT, ACTUALLY, BECAUSE THAT WAS-- WHEN YOU GO ON A PHOTO SHOOT EYE DON'T KNOW IF YOU HAVE HAD THIS, AND YOU'RE A TINY BIG HUNG OVER, AND THEY GO, "DO A MOVE." AND YOU GO... AND THEY SAY, "I LOVE IT." THAT'S HOW THAT POSTER CAME ABOUT. >> Stephen: I HAVE TO GET THAT PHOTOGRAPHER. NOW THAT YOU HAVE CREATED SEVERAL HIT SHOWS HERE. YOU'VE GONE HOLLYWOOD. HAVE YOU HAD ANY SORT OF SURREAL HOLLYWOOD EXPERIENCES THAT YOU NEVER THAT YOU WANT? BECAUSE, IT'S VERY BIZARRE WHEN YOU GO OUT AND YOU SEE THE PEOPLE WHO YOU ADMIRE IN THE FLESH. THEY SHOULD BE ON THAT LITTLE SCREEN, BUT YOU SEE THEM. WHAT'S THAT BEEN LIKE FOR YOU? >> A REALLY EXCITING ONE WAS AT THE GOLDEN GLOBES A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO WHEN I SAW JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE AND JESSICA BIEL AT THE BAR, AND SHE WAS WEARING A LOVELY DRESS AND HE PRIVATELY-- DREW HIS FINGER DOWN HER BACK AT THE BAR AND IT WAS JUST THE THREE OF US AT THAT MOMENT. THAT WAS VERY GOOD. >> Stephen: THAT'S NICE! >> JUST A LITTLE... I WAS LIKE, OH, GUYS! >> Stephen: SURE, SURE. >> I GUESS, OTHER THAN THAT, NO, MABEL, JUST AS EVERYONE ELSE SAYS, I EMBARRASS MYSELF IN FRONT OF PEOPLE I ADMIRE. >> Stephen: HAVE YOU FAN GIRLED AT PEOPLE. >> A VERSION OF THAT. I DID A FILM "THE IRON LADY," THAT MERYL STREEP WAS IN. THANK YOU. I WAS IN IT. THAT WAS IMPORTANT. AND I HAD A SCENE WITH MERRILL. AND THERE WERE A LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE IN THIS. AND I HAVE ADMIRED MERYL FOR FOREVER. AND SHE HAD ALL THESE PROSTHETICS ON FOR THE ROLE. SO SHE WAS INCREDIBLY HOT. SHE WAS UNDER THE LIGHTS ALL DAY. AND PEOPLE SAY MERYL IS APPROACHABLE BUT SHE WILL TRY TO KEEP COOL AND CALM BECAUSE SHE WILL MELT WITH THE PROSTHETICS IN BETWEEN TAKES. THERE WERE FIVE OF US IN THE SCENE DESPERATE TO HAVE OUR MOMENT WITH MERYL, BUT WE WERE TEELD SHE'LL MELT IF YOU TALK TO HER SO DON'T MELT MERYL. AND ONE DAY SHE JUST DECIDE, DAMN IT, I'M GOING TO TALK TO THESE GUYS. THE LIGHTS WENT OFF AND SHE WENT IN HER MARGARET THATCHER ACCENT, "HOW IS EVERYBODY?" AND WE SAW THE, "THIS IS THE MOMENT." THERE WERE SEVEN OF US, AND IT WAS LIKE WHO IS GOING TO GET IN? WE ALL SUBTLY WENT AROUND HER, AND SHE WAS HAVING A CONVERSATION, AND EVERYONE WAS REALLY TRYING TO GET THE JOKE IN. AND I MADE A JOKE, AND IT MADE MERYL LAUGH. AND I WAS LIKE, YES! I'M THE WINNER! I'M THE WINNER! BUT THEN-- THEN ALL THE OTHER PEOPLE ON THE CAST WERE LIKE, "OH, PHOEBE." " AND I WAS LIKE SHE'S MINE NOW. IT GOES DEEP WITH US. WE MADE EYE CONTACT. AND THAT LUNCHTIME, YOU GET TOO OVEREXCITED. THE REST OF THE DAY I WAS LIKE, "OH, MY GOD, WHEN ARE WE ANYTHING TO HANG OUT AGAIN, ME AND MERYL. THAT WAS REALLY GOOD. AND WE WERE SITTING DOWN HAVING LURCH, AND IT WAS A COOLER DAY AND SHE DECIDED TO HANG OUT WITH US FOR LUNCH. AND I SAW HER COMING DOWN THE STAIRS, AS DID EVERYONE ELSE. AND I WAS LIKE OH, MY GOD SHE'S GOING TO COME TO ME BECAUSE WE'RE FRIENDS. WE'RE FUNNY ONES. AND SHE'S GOING, "HELLO, EVERYONE," IN HER MARGARET THATCHER ACCENT. AND SHE CAME UP BEHIND ME AND PUT HER HANDS ON MY SHOULDERS. AND EVERYONE ELSE WAS EATING THEIR PUDDING. AND SHE WAS WENT, "OH, WHAT ARE YOU EATING?" AND I SAID FOR SOME REASON I GRABBED MY DESSERT AND PULLED IT INTO MY CHEST AND SAID, "MY APPLE TRUMP BELL," LIKE THAT, TO MERYL. OBVIOUSLY I BROKE THE CHARM WE HAD BETWEEN EACH OTHER. THAT FRIENDSHIP WAS DEAD. SHE WAS GENUINELY TERRIFIED AND WENT, VERY REASSURINGLY, "I'M NOT TRYING TO TAKE IT AWAY FROM YOU." AND ALL OVER MY COSTUME WHEN THEY FILMED WANT NEXT SCENE EXPICHES LIKE WHY DID I DO THAT. AND WE HAD ONE MORE SCENE ME AND HER BEHIND THE DOOR AND WE DIDN'T SAY MUCH TO EACH OF EACH OTHER AFTER THAT. THAT WAS MY MEETING WITH MERYL. >> Stephen: THAT'S A GOOD ONE, THAT'S A GOOD ONE. >> THANKS. >> Stephen: IT'S A DELIGHT TO MEET YOU. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING HERE. >> THANK YOU. >> Stephen: "FLEABAG" IS AT THE SOHO PLAYHOUSE THROUGH APRIL 14. PHOEBE WALLER-BRIDGE, EVERYBODY! WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK WITH COMEDIAN DWAYNE PERKINS.
