We're back! In our first post-summer catchup episode, theatre journalist Lisa Martland joins Andrew to discuss the London revival of Brigadoon.
Not seen in London for over 35 years, Lerner & Loewe’s Brigadoon has been directed and choreographed by Drew McOnie at Regent's Park Open Air Theatre in a new adaptation by Rona Munro. Danielle Fiamanya and Georgina Onuorah are job sharing in the role of Fiona MacLaren with Louis Gaunt as Tommy Albright.
Andrew and Lisa discuss how Brigadoon resonates in 2025, Drew McOnie's vision, what they thought of the cast and more.
Brigadoon runs at Regent's Park Open Air Theatre until Saturday 20th September 2025.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
