It’s another guest we’ve been trying to book since day one: Florence Pugh – the Oscar-nominated star of ‘Little Women’, ‘Black Widow’ and ‘A Good Person’ – joins us in the Dream Restaurant. And James tries not to bring up ‘Midsommar’ fan theories. SPOILER ALERT: there are ‘Midsommar’ spoilers aplenty. HEALTH WARNING: obviously, never take Calpol (or any other drugs) with alcohol. Obviously. Florence Pugh stars in ‘A Good Person’ which is in cinemas now and on Sky Cinema on 28 April.
