Some behind the scenes from today’s episode - kindly captured by Abi (from episode 2) when we were filming the interview segments of the episodes back in May. I was paranoid about getting sunburnt…

Maybe I pressed the wrong thing?
I just ordered one strawberry milkshake.

EMPLOYEE:
Oh - yeah sorry
5
EMPLOYEE:
The milkshake machine’s not working.
6
EMPLOYEE:
The only flavours we can do are vanilla, banana, and Labour Leader Pretending to be Nigel Farage.
7
CUSTOMER:
Is that a new flavour?
EMPLOYEE:
Yeah
8
[We now see that the employee has placed a gigantic milkshake cup on the counter]
EMPLOYEE:
If you look inside, there’s a Labour leader pretending to be Nigel Farage.

[Customer looks inside the cup]
10
[Show Keir Starmer dressed as Nigel Farage inside the cup]
CUSTOMER:
So there is

It just keeps happening when we press banana.
