In our very first co-interview, we're barely holding in the squeals as we chat to Luna Lovegood herself, the actor, activist and all round brilliant woman, Evanna Lynch.
The result is maybe our most broad-reaching chat yet - from Nabokov to Circus school, from highs of the Harry Potter filming experiences to the nerves hiding beneath, and from vegan activism to why Marianne and Connell really just need to cool it, Evanna was an incredibly generous (and appropriately enthusiastic) guest. Oh, and Sarah does a worryingly accurate impression of a cat, and Becky reveals, far later than expected, her undying adoration of Stanley Tucci.
(This interview with Evanna was recorded in May).
