1
00:00:06,415 --> 00:00:09,135
Speaker 1: You're listening to Amama Mia podcast.

2
00:00:13,614 --> 00:00:17,775
Speaker 2: Good morning, Welcome to the Quickie. I'm Taylor Strano. We're

3
00:00:17,815 --> 00:00:22,375
Speaker 2: eighty five seconds to midnight. Now, don't panic. As scary

4
00:00:22,455 --> 00:00:26,175
Speaker 2: as the doomsday clock sounds, I promise there's still hope

5
00:00:26,255 --> 00:00:31,495
Speaker 2: before the world completely collapses on itself. I'll explain more shortly. Plus,

6
00:00:31,695 --> 00:00:34,334
Speaker 2: dust off your tailcoats and ready your dance cards. Were

7
00:00:34,335 --> 00:00:37,135
Speaker 2: headed back to the Ton for season four of Bridgeton

8
00:00:37,695 --> 00:00:40,775
Speaker 2: and There's an Aussie at the center of it all.

9
00:00:40,815 --> 00:00:44,894
Speaker 2: First Clermurphy's Got Your News Headlines for Thursday, January twenty nine.

10
00:00:45,375 --> 00:00:48,014
Speaker 1: US President Donald Trump has taken to social media to

11
00:00:48,055 --> 00:00:50,654
Speaker 1: inform Iran that a massive armata was on its way

12
00:00:50,654 --> 00:00:53,895
Speaker 1: to the region and threatening violence. Trump wrote that it

13
00:00:53,975 --> 00:00:56,855
Speaker 1: is a larger fleet headed by the great aircraft carrier

14
00:00:56,935 --> 00:01:01,135
Speaker 1: Abraham Lincoln. Then that's Center Venezuela, and that like with Venezuela,

15
00:01:01,215 --> 00:01:04,215
Speaker 1: it is ready, willing and able to rapidly fulfill its

16
00:01:04,255 --> 00:01:08,095
Speaker 1: mission with speed and violence if necessary. He then explained

17
00:01:08,095 --> 00:01:11,215
Speaker 1: that Iran needed to strike a deal, writing hopefully Iran

18
00:01:11,255 --> 00:01:14,295
Speaker 1: will quickly come to the table and negotiate a fair

19
00:01:14,335 --> 00:01:17,935
Speaker 1: and equitable deal no nuclear weapons, one that is good

20
00:01:17,975 --> 00:01:20,935
Speaker 1: for all parties. There had been speculation as to how

21
00:01:20,935 --> 00:01:24,935
Speaker 1: the Trump administration would intervene in Iran after violent crackdowns

22
00:01:24,935 --> 00:01:27,895
Speaker 1: on protests in the country intent on removing the current

23
00:01:27,935 --> 00:01:31,135
Speaker 1: regime from power. It is estimated that tens of thousands

24
00:01:31,135 --> 00:01:33,774
Speaker 1: of people may have been killed as a result. Trump

25
00:01:33,775 --> 00:01:36,495
Speaker 1: told the Iranian people to continue to protest and that

26
00:01:36,575 --> 00:01:40,335
Speaker 1: the US would protect them. Iran has responded to Trump's post,

27
00:01:40,535 --> 00:01:43,615
Speaker 1: taking to x. Iran's mission to the United Nations posted,

28
00:01:43,935 --> 00:01:47,935
Speaker 1: Iran stands ready for dialogue based on mutual respect and interests,

29
00:01:48,175 --> 00:01:51,575
Speaker 1: but if pushed, it will defend itself and respond like

30
00:01:51,655 --> 00:01:56,335
Speaker 1: never before. Police investigating an explosive device thrown into the

31
00:01:56,335 --> 00:01:58,975
Speaker 1: crowd at a Perth Invasion Day rally, so they're still

32
00:01:59,015 --> 00:02:02,815
Speaker 1: looking into whether it's a terrorist attack. WA Police Commissioner

33
00:02:02,855 --> 00:02:06,375
Speaker 1: Coblanche told the ABC that the device contending ball bearings

34
00:02:06,375 --> 00:02:09,655
Speaker 1: and screws wrapped around an explosive liquid that was tossed

35
00:02:09,695 --> 00:02:12,375
Speaker 1: into the crowd in the per CBD on Monday had

36
00:02:12,375 --> 00:02:15,415
Speaker 1: the potential to hurt and kill people. But the thirty

37
00:02:15,455 --> 00:02:17,775
Speaker 1: one year old who's been arrested and charged with intent

38
00:02:17,895 --> 00:02:20,135
Speaker 1: to do harm in such a way as to endanger life,

39
00:02:20,295 --> 00:02:23,775
Speaker 1: health or safety, and with making or possessing explosives under

40
00:02:23,775 --> 00:02:27,775
Speaker 1: suspicious circumstances. Has not been charged with any terror offenses.

41
00:02:28,095 --> 00:02:30,655
Speaker 1: When the Joint Counter Terror Team was questioned as to why,

42
00:02:30,695 --> 00:02:33,135
Speaker 1: they revealed that they aren't ruling out further charges and

43
00:02:33,135 --> 00:02:36,935
Speaker 1: that the investigation was ongoing. With parliament said to resume

44
00:02:36,935 --> 00:02:39,775
Speaker 1: on Monday, it's unclear who will fill the six vacant

45
00:02:39,775 --> 00:02:43,375
Speaker 1: shadow ministry positions left open after the breakdown of the coalition.

46
00:02:43,895 --> 00:02:46,695
Speaker 1: Liberal leader Susan Lee left the positions open in the

47
00:02:46,735 --> 00:02:49,455
Speaker 1: hopes of the split between her party and the Nationals

48
00:02:49,455 --> 00:02:51,894
Speaker 1: over the vote for the new hate speech laws could

49
00:02:51,975 --> 00:02:55,575
Speaker 1: be fixed before Monday, but explained that an invitation extended

50
00:02:55,615 --> 00:02:58,294
Speaker 1: to Nationals leader David little Prowd to resolve the issue

51
00:02:58,335 --> 00:03:01,895
Speaker 1: before Parliament went back had been rejected. Mister little Prowd

52
00:03:01,935 --> 00:03:04,175
Speaker 1: said he had to decline the meeting after one of

53
00:03:04,215 --> 00:03:07,335
Speaker 1: his party members, Flynn MP Colin Boyce called for a

54
00:03:07,415 --> 00:03:10,815
Speaker 1: leadership spill this coming Monday. Little Prown said he's open

55
00:03:10,895 --> 00:03:14,015
Speaker 1: to meeting with Lee after his party's leadership situation has

56
00:03:14,055 --> 00:03:17,335
Speaker 1: been settled. Meanwhile, the Prime Minister is waiting on information

57
00:03:17,455 --> 00:03:20,255
Speaker 1: from the Nationals on how to staff and fund their officers,

58
00:03:20,655 --> 00:03:24,095
Speaker 1: considering they're technically now no longer in opposition, while the

59
00:03:24,175 --> 00:03:28,575
Speaker 1: Nationals still have to nominate portfolio spokespeople. Meanwhile, former Prime

60
00:03:28,575 --> 00:03:31,215
Speaker 1: Minister Tony Abbott has weighed in on the coalition split

61
00:03:31,295 --> 00:03:34,615
Speaker 1: and Susan Lee's leadership, calling on the Conservative faction of

62
00:03:34,655 --> 00:03:37,815
Speaker 1: the party to unite behind either Andrew Hasty or Angus

63
00:03:37,855 --> 00:03:40,935
Speaker 1: Taylor to oust Lee from the top spot. He's also

64
00:03:41,055 --> 00:03:43,775
Speaker 1: reportedly told Hasty and Taylor to come to an agreement

65
00:03:43,815 --> 00:03:46,495
Speaker 1: on who will challenge Lee, but sources in the party

66
00:03:46,575 --> 00:03:48,695
Speaker 1: room say the two cannot come to an agreement and

67
00:03:48,735 --> 00:03:52,095
Speaker 1: a both standing firm on wanting to take over. Telstra

68
00:03:52,255 --> 00:03:55,015
Speaker 1: has warned its customers who have an older iPhone model

69
00:03:55,055 --> 00:03:57,935
Speaker 1: that the later software update may stop it from accessing

70
00:03:57,975 --> 00:04:01,615
Speaker 1: the network, including to make triple zero calls. Those using

71
00:04:01,695 --> 00:04:05,175
Speaker 1: an iPhone eight, iPhone eight plus or iPhone X that

72
00:04:05,215 --> 00:04:08,375
Speaker 1: have been updated to iOS sixteen point seven point one

73
00:04:08,535 --> 00:04:11,975
Speaker 1: three software are impacted and have been advised that Telstra

74
00:04:12,135 --> 00:04:14,415
Speaker 1: is working with Apple to resolve the issue and that

75
00:04:14,455 --> 00:04:17,615
Speaker 1: they will keep them updated on progress. Apple has paused

76
00:04:17,654 --> 00:04:20,294
Speaker 1: several software updates while the issue is being looked into.

77
00:04:21,175 --> 00:04:24,335
Speaker 1: Kim Kardashian has revealed why photos of Harry and Meghan

78
00:04:24,335 --> 00:04:27,175
Speaker 1: at mum Chris Jenna's birthday party were posted and then

79
00:04:27,295 --> 00:04:30,215
Speaker 1: taken down. Kim told her sister Chloe on her new

80
00:04:30,255 --> 00:04:32,615
Speaker 1: podcast that they got permission to post the picks of

81
00:04:32,655 --> 00:04:35,655
Speaker 1: the former royal couple at Jenna's seventieth, but then they

82
00:04:35,695 --> 00:04:38,455
Speaker 1: realized that it would be remembrance Day back in the UK.

83
00:04:38,975 --> 00:04:41,094
Speaker 1: The couple concerned they would be seen in a certain

84
00:04:41,135 --> 00:04:43,815
Speaker 1: way if they posted photos of themselves partying on a

85
00:04:43,895 --> 00:04:46,735
Speaker 1: day that honors those who've lost their lives in military servers.

86
00:04:47,095 --> 00:04:49,815
Speaker 1: Kardashian said they took the photos down out of respect

87
00:04:50,095 --> 00:04:52,575
Speaker 1: and hated how that was received by everyone and that

88
00:04:52,575 --> 00:04:54,455
Speaker 1: it was made into something it didn't have to be.

89
00:04:54,975 --> 00:04:58,255
Speaker 2: Thanks Claire TikTok. An update on the movement on the

90
00:04:58,295 --> 00:05:06,855
Speaker 2: doomsday clock. Okay, so before you worry about ducking for cover,

91
00:05:06,975 --> 00:05:10,055
Speaker 2: it's important to note the doomsday clock is not a

92
00:05:10,095 --> 00:05:12,415
Speaker 2: real clock counting down to the end of the world.

93
00:05:12,935 --> 00:05:17,535
Speaker 2: It's a metaphor. Time for a little history. The doomsday

94
00:05:17,575 --> 00:05:20,975
Speaker 2: clock was created in nineteen forty seven by the Bulletin

95
00:05:21,095 --> 00:05:24,415
Speaker 2: of the Atomic Scientists. That's a group founded by people

96
00:05:24,455 --> 00:05:28,175
Speaker 2: like Albert Einstein and Robert Oppenheimer to visually show how

97
00:05:28,215 --> 00:05:31,375
Speaker 2: close we are to wiping ourselves out with our own technology.

98
00:05:32,095 --> 00:05:35,654
Speaker 2: Midnight equals global catastrophe, and the clothes in the hands move.

99
00:05:35,735 --> 00:05:39,534
Speaker 2: The more concerned these scientists are about things like nuclear weapons,

100
00:05:39,815 --> 00:05:46,255
Speaker 2: climate change, pandemics, artificial intelligence, and what they call information armageddon,

101
00:05:46,815 --> 00:05:50,935
Speaker 2: basically misinformation that makes all of those problems harder to solve,

102
00:05:52,015 --> 00:05:55,375
Speaker 2: which brings us to this year. The clock has been

103
00:05:55,415 --> 00:05:59,055
Speaker 2: set to eighty five seconds to midnight, the closest it's

104
00:05:59,095 --> 00:06:03,015
Speaker 2: ever been in its nearly eighty year history. There's a

105
00:06:03,055 --> 00:06:06,415
Speaker 2: couple of reasons why it's been nudged forward. As Bulletin

106
00:06:06,455 --> 00:06:10,575
Speaker 2: of Atomic Scientists President and CEO Alexandra Bell explains.

107
00:06:10,615 --> 00:06:14,094
Speaker 3: The risks we feace from nuclear weapons, climate change, and

108
00:06:14,135 --> 00:06:18,255
Speaker 3: disruptive technologies are all growing. Every second counts, and we

109
00:06:18,295 --> 00:06:20,654
Speaker 3: are running out of time. It is a horrid truth,

110
00:06:21,255 --> 00:06:22,415
Speaker 3: but this is our reality.

111
00:06:23,775 --> 00:06:26,614
Speaker 2: Last year it was eighty nine seconds, so we've jumped

112
00:06:26,615 --> 00:06:29,854
Speaker 2: forward four seconds closer. After another year of wars involving

113
00:06:29,935 --> 00:06:34,335
Speaker 2: nuclear armed countries, escalating tensions between the US, Russia, and China,

114
00:06:34,735 --> 00:06:38,295
Speaker 2: and stalled action on emissions, the decision is made by

115
00:06:38,335 --> 00:06:41,495
Speaker 2: the Bulletin Science and Security Board, about eighteen experts in

116
00:06:41,615 --> 00:06:45,335
Speaker 2: nuclear risk, climate and new technologies, with input from a

117
00:06:45,335 --> 00:06:49,055
Speaker 2: board of sponsors that include multiple Nobel Prize winners. They

118
00:06:49,095 --> 00:06:51,615
Speaker 2: mate throughout the year, gather in person towards the end

119
00:06:51,695 --> 00:06:53,895
Speaker 2: of the year to weigh up global events, and then

120
00:06:53,975 --> 00:06:57,415
Speaker 2: announce the new time in late January. So I guess

121
00:06:57,455 --> 00:07:00,895
Speaker 2: the question is should you be freaking out? The message

122
00:07:00,935 --> 00:07:03,855
Speaker 2: from the Bulletin isn't we're doomed. As you heard from

123
00:07:03,935 --> 00:07:08,175
Speaker 2: Alexandra Bell before the akeaway here is every second counts.

124
00:07:08,695 --> 00:07:11,975
Speaker 2: They argue that because humans created these risks, we also

125
00:07:12,095 --> 00:07:15,055
Speaker 2: have the power to wind the clock back through diplomacy,

126
00:07:15,215 --> 00:07:22,695
Speaker 2: cutting carbon, regulating new tech, and building trust in information. Okay,

127
00:07:22,775 --> 00:07:26,135
Speaker 2: so if the doomsday clock has you wanting some escapism,

128
00:07:26,255 --> 00:07:31,455
Speaker 2: you're in luck. Part one of Bridgington's new season drops today.

129
00:07:32,095 --> 00:07:33,775
Speaker 2: I think it's fair to say that we've been left

130
00:07:33,975 --> 00:07:37,735
Speaker 2: literally wanting more after the hype of heated rivalry. So

131
00:07:37,855 --> 00:07:41,615
Speaker 2: this next new chapter in Shondaland's regency meets pop culture

132
00:07:41,695 --> 00:07:45,775
Speaker 2: universe is arriving in perfect time. Each season of Bridgeton

133
00:07:45,855 --> 00:07:49,015
Speaker 2: follows a different love match from Julia Quinn's books. We've

134
00:07:49,015 --> 00:07:52,415
Speaker 2: had Daphne and Simon Slowburn fairy Tale, Anthony and Kate's

135
00:07:52,495 --> 00:07:56,215
Speaker 2: enemies to Lover's Tension, and then Colin and Penelope's friends

136
00:07:56,255 --> 00:08:00,375
Speaker 2: to Lover's Wallflower No More Moment. The new season continues

137
00:08:00,415 --> 00:08:03,335
Speaker 2: that Formula one central romance, a lot of gossip from

138
00:08:03,375 --> 00:08:07,215
Speaker 2: Lady Whistledown, and plenty of side plots about power, family

139
00:08:07,895 --> 00:08:12,535
Speaker 2: and sex and corsets. And of course there's the music.

140
00:08:13,775 --> 00:08:17,495
Speaker 2: Bridgitton has become famous for its string covers soundtrack from

141
00:08:17,535 --> 00:08:28,135
Speaker 2: Pitbull to Taylor Swift Everyone's Gotten a Guernsey, and season

142
00:08:28,175 --> 00:08:32,295
Speaker 2: four is no different, with Netflix already teasing new instrumental

143
00:08:32,334 --> 00:08:36,415
Speaker 2: covers of tracks from Coldplay, Third Eyed Line, Fitball, Yep,

144
00:08:36,535 --> 00:08:40,655
Speaker 2: He makes another appearance and Usher in the first episode alone.

145
00:08:41,215 --> 00:08:43,574
Speaker 2: Muma Meer's Watch Party is your deep dive into the

146
00:08:43,615 --> 00:08:46,975
Speaker 2: biggest and buzziest film and television of the moment. Host

147
00:08:46,975 --> 00:08:49,455
Speaker 2: Grace Rubrey has spent her career both in front of

148
00:08:49,575 --> 00:08:52,415
Speaker 2: and behind the scenes of film and TV. Plus she

149
00:08:52,535 --> 00:08:55,895
Speaker 2: knows maybe absolutely everything there is too about Shondaland, which

150
00:08:55,935 --> 00:08:58,375
Speaker 2: makes her the perfect person to get you across what

151
00:08:58,415 --> 00:09:02,575
Speaker 2: you need to know before you hit play after work today, Grace,

152
00:09:02,655 --> 00:09:05,055
Speaker 2: Let's start at the top of the Bridgit and Children.

153
00:09:05,855 --> 00:09:07,655
Speaker 2: Whose love match will we see this season?

154
00:09:08,135 --> 00:09:09,454
Speaker 4: So we found out quite a while ago it was

155
00:09:09,455 --> 00:09:11,975
Speaker 4: going to be better at season of Bridgeton. But then

156
00:09:12,015 --> 00:09:14,255
Speaker 4: they also released who his love match was going to be,

157
00:09:14,575 --> 00:09:17,495
Speaker 4: and that is Sophie Beck played by an Australian actor

158
00:09:17,735 --> 00:09:20,535
Speaker 4: yehin Har and Yerinha has had quite a few credits

159
00:09:20,535 --> 00:09:23,295
Speaker 4: in Australia, but then this is like, obviously the biggest

160
00:09:23,735 --> 00:09:26,935
Speaker 4: credit international credit that she's had. She is also from

161
00:09:27,295 --> 00:09:30,215
Speaker 4: acting dynasty. Both her parents met at drama school and

162
00:09:30,295 --> 00:09:32,895
Speaker 4: her grandmother is a Korean actor and radio star.

163
00:09:33,135 --> 00:09:34,775
Speaker 2: Oh, she comes from very good stuff.

164
00:09:35,095 --> 00:09:37,574
Speaker 4: Yes, I'm like, are we saying nepo baby, We don't

165
00:09:37,575 --> 00:09:38,935
Speaker 4: really say that for Australian actors.

166
00:09:39,054 --> 00:09:41,135
Speaker 2: No, we have so much to battle against. We live

167
00:09:41,215 --> 00:09:44,215
Speaker 2: so far away, far away. I think it's fine.

168
00:09:43,935 --> 00:09:47,335
Speaker 4: And interestingly about this. So normally when you are auditioning

169
00:09:47,335 --> 00:09:49,975
Speaker 4: for big projects like this, you would go to the

170
00:09:50,054 --> 00:09:52,415
Speaker 4: States or wherever it is that they're making the show,

171
00:09:52,415 --> 00:09:54,535
Speaker 4: and you would have like your chemistry tests. She actually

172
00:09:54,575 --> 00:09:56,095
Speaker 4: did a chemistry test on Zoom.

173
00:09:56,215 --> 00:09:59,135
Speaker 2: That is so hard. That would be very very very hard, but.

174
00:09:59,135 --> 00:10:02,615
Speaker 4: They apparently it worked. It worked, which I think to

175
00:10:02,695 --> 00:10:04,975
Speaker 4: have chemistry on a zoom call would.

176
00:10:04,775 --> 00:10:06,934
Speaker 2: Be quite hard. Now there are only so many ways,

177
00:10:06,935 --> 00:10:08,855
Speaker 2: grace that you can reinvent the wheel. When it comes

178
00:10:08,855 --> 00:10:13,295
Speaker 2: to love stories, the other seasons of Bridgeton have looked

179
00:10:13,295 --> 00:10:16,814
Speaker 2: into other tropes. Has been sort of the enemies to lovers.

180
00:10:16,895 --> 00:10:20,255
Speaker 2: We've had the unassuming woman who then becomes like the

181
00:10:20,415 --> 00:10:22,295
Speaker 2: she was there the whole time in front of you

182
00:10:22,895 --> 00:10:26,295
Speaker 2: with Penelope and Colin. What is this season of Bridgington's

183
00:10:26,335 --> 00:10:29,455
Speaker 2: center on? Is there a classic trope that we get

184
00:10:29,455 --> 00:10:30,095
Speaker 2: to unpack?

185
00:10:30,335 --> 00:10:35,415
Speaker 4: Yes, this book is basically Cinderella, and the show also

186
00:10:35,495 --> 00:10:37,735
Speaker 4: mirrors that. I don't think it's even trying to hide that.

187
00:10:37,775 --> 00:10:39,814
Speaker 4: At Cinderella, it is a woman who is a maid,

188
00:10:40,255 --> 00:10:43,775
Speaker 4: it is her step mother. There are two evil step sisters.

189
00:10:43,935 --> 00:10:46,375
Speaker 4: Well I mean they're not well, they're showing a bit

190
00:10:46,415 --> 00:10:47,855
Speaker 4: of evil, but not fully tend.

191
00:10:48,535 --> 00:10:50,495
Speaker 2: They go to a ball, she leaves an.

192
00:10:50,495 --> 00:10:54,655
Speaker 4: Item of clothing behind, and then he basically tries to

193
00:10:54,695 --> 00:10:57,495
Speaker 4: find her. There are like a few little differences that

194
00:10:57,615 --> 00:11:00,895
Speaker 4: makes this story unique and because it's obviously come from

195
00:11:00,895 --> 00:11:02,775
Speaker 4: a novel, but it is grounded in Cinderella.

196
00:11:02,975 --> 00:11:07,055
Speaker 2: Are we talking like Cinderella story Hillary Dofftail where it's like,

197
00:11:07,095 --> 00:11:09,255
Speaker 2: how could they possibly not know it was her with

198
00:11:09,335 --> 00:11:10,255
Speaker 2: a tiny little mask?

199
00:11:10,415 --> 00:11:13,615
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean we're still this trope of not being

200
00:11:13,655 --> 00:11:15,335
Speaker 4: able to recognize people in masks.

201
00:11:15,455 --> 00:11:16,575
Speaker 2: It's kind of a red flag.

202
00:11:16,655 --> 00:11:19,935
Speaker 4: Actually in flag she's clearly recognizable, But yes, it does.

203
00:11:20,015 --> 00:11:22,935
Speaker 4: It is a masquerade ball that he doesn't recognize her

204
00:11:22,975 --> 00:11:25,735
Speaker 4: and spends a surprising amount of time with her to

205
00:11:25,895 --> 00:11:26,975
Speaker 4: not recognize her.

206
00:11:27,295 --> 00:11:30,734
Speaker 2: Okay, after the fact, this is one of the eldest

207
00:11:31,054 --> 00:11:34,575
Speaker 2: Bridgitton sons, Venerity. Do we get to see much of

208
00:11:34,655 --> 00:11:37,255
Speaker 2: the other cast? I mean, I feel like when someone's

209
00:11:37,255 --> 00:11:40,175
Speaker 2: had their season. I think about Daphne's season. Obviously, the

210
00:11:40,295 --> 00:11:43,215
Speaker 2: Duke left after that season and so we didn't see

211
00:11:43,295 --> 00:11:45,895
Speaker 2: him again. In the recurring seasons of Bridgitton, she's sort

212
00:11:45,895 --> 00:11:47,775
Speaker 2: of popped in and out, but not really because the

213
00:11:47,895 --> 00:11:50,255
Speaker 2: storyline kind of ended. Do we get to see the

214
00:11:50,295 --> 00:11:51,415
Speaker 2: rest of the Bridgington clan.

215
00:11:51,895 --> 00:11:54,055
Speaker 4: Jonathan Bailey has always said that he's going to come

216
00:11:54,095 --> 00:11:56,535
Speaker 4: back for as long as he's written in, and he

217
00:11:56,615 --> 00:11:58,615
Speaker 4: said this beautiful quote which I love, that he's always

218
00:11:58,615 --> 00:12:01,055
Speaker 4: going to support his siblings most of the cast have

219
00:12:01,135 --> 00:12:03,815
Speaker 4: been reported that they're coming back. We don't know in

220
00:12:03,855 --> 00:12:06,535
Speaker 4: what capacity, because, as we know, once they're married, they

221
00:12:06,575 --> 00:12:09,015
Speaker 4: don't really have a storyline after that. There's not so

222
00:12:09,175 --> 00:12:13,575
Speaker 4: much that can be done apart from they having children.

223
00:12:13,655 --> 00:12:15,574
Speaker 4: But then again, they only ever sort of popping in.

224
00:12:15,655 --> 00:12:18,695
Speaker 4: So we do know that Jonathan Bailey is definitely back

225
00:12:19,015 --> 00:12:21,255
Speaker 4: in more capacity. We're not one hundred percent sure yet.

226
00:12:21,295 --> 00:12:24,855
Speaker 2: You know they got to make babies and attend garden parties. Yes, yes,

227
00:12:25,095 --> 00:12:30,015
Speaker 2: for the uninitiated, Bridgeton is a very, I want to say,

228
00:12:30,375 --> 00:12:35,215
Speaker 2: sensual show. Every season has proven that in one way

229
00:12:35,335 --> 00:12:38,255
Speaker 2: or another. If you are aware of the carriage scene,

230
00:12:38,295 --> 00:12:41,495
Speaker 2: you know exactly what I'm talking about, Grace. This has

231
00:12:41,535 --> 00:12:45,535
Speaker 2: been reported though, to be the steamiest season of Bridgeton.

232
00:12:45,815 --> 00:12:49,255
Speaker 2: You've seen this ahead of everybody else, yes, can you confirm?

233
00:12:49,455 --> 00:12:52,135
Speaker 4: Look in media, we are lucky to get screeners of

234
00:12:52,335 --> 00:12:55,255
Speaker 4: episodes before things go live. And I have watched all

235
00:12:55,255 --> 00:12:58,015
Speaker 4: of part one and there is a scene that makes

236
00:12:58,015 --> 00:13:00,855
Speaker 4: me feel a bit prudish that it appeared on television.

237
00:13:01,095 --> 00:13:06,415
Speaker 4: Oh not Yeah, she's having difficult talking about it right

238
00:13:06,455 --> 00:13:09,055
Speaker 4: now talking about it. Just I was shocked for the

239
00:13:09,095 --> 00:13:12,535
Speaker 4: regency era for them to do a specific thing. But

240
00:13:12,615 --> 00:13:14,855
Speaker 4: I will say the chemistry as the two of them

241
00:13:14,975 --> 00:13:21,615
Speaker 4: warm up, some of their scenes together are beautiful, steamy, hot, flirtatious, palpable.

242
00:13:22,054 --> 00:13:23,855
Speaker 2: Okay, we're in an era of that at the moment.

243
00:13:23,855 --> 00:13:25,975
Speaker 2: I feel like hited rivalry is a thing that people

244
00:13:26,015 --> 00:13:28,895
Speaker 2: are still talking about, and it's the sexiness. But it's

245
00:13:28,935 --> 00:13:31,895
Speaker 2: also like the yearning and the everything leading up too,

246
00:13:32,054 --> 00:13:33,535
Speaker 2: So I imagine we get a bit of that.

247
00:13:33,695 --> 00:13:34,695
Speaker 4: It's all yearning.

248
00:13:34,855 --> 00:13:37,815
Speaker 2: The whole thing is that is bridgeton. They just yearn.

249
00:13:39,215 --> 00:13:41,095
Speaker 2: They yearn and they what do they do? They prom

250
00:13:41,295 --> 00:13:41,775
Speaker 2: the dance.

251
00:13:41,815 --> 00:13:43,775
Speaker 4: They dance and they promenade.

252
00:13:43,175 --> 00:13:45,895
Speaker 2: And they they sit waiting for house guests.

253
00:13:46,015 --> 00:13:48,575
Speaker 4: Yes, yes, well one time. One thing that I think

254
00:13:48,655 --> 00:13:51,935
Speaker 4: is wonderful. How Shonda describes this show is yes, it

255
00:13:52,135 --> 00:13:55,815
Speaker 4: is about marriages, but she believes it's a workplace drama.

256
00:13:55,935 --> 00:13:58,575
Speaker 2: Okay, talk more on that, because I've seen this workplace

257
00:13:58,655 --> 00:14:01,135
Speaker 2: drama theory pop up as well, and there might be

258
00:14:01,175 --> 00:14:03,215
Speaker 2: folks listening who go, how on earth do you arrive

259
00:14:03,255 --> 00:14:05,095
Speaker 2: at that conclusion? Because it's their job.

260
00:14:05,495 --> 00:14:08,015
Speaker 4: I don't really have much else going on because everything

261
00:14:08,015 --> 00:14:11,054
Speaker 4: around the house is taken up by maids and footman

262
00:14:11,175 --> 00:14:13,695
Speaker 4: people who are doing jobs in the house. So it

263
00:14:13,775 --> 00:14:15,815
Speaker 4: is their job from when they are born to reach

264
00:14:15,895 --> 00:14:18,334
Speaker 4: the age of being able to be presented to society.

265
00:14:18,575 --> 00:14:21,255
Speaker 4: And then even the mum's job Violet, once she's married

266
00:14:21,295 --> 00:14:23,895
Speaker 4: and has kids, it then becomes her job to marry

267
00:14:23,895 --> 00:14:24,655
Speaker 4: off her children.

268
00:14:24,895 --> 00:14:25,695
Speaker 2: It's exhausting.

269
00:14:25,855 --> 00:14:28,775
Speaker 4: Yeah, So there's a lot of gossip and ins and

270
00:14:28,815 --> 00:14:31,295
Speaker 4: outs to finally getting your love match, and I would

271
00:14:31,295 --> 00:14:32,895
Speaker 4: say they spend enough time on it.

272
00:14:32,855 --> 00:14:33,575
Speaker 1: That it is a job.

273
00:14:35,255 --> 00:14:37,415
