You are cordially invited to join our chat with this week’s guest of honour; the Art Director of 'Bridgerton' Season 3, Adam Grant! 
Adam takes us behind-the-scenes in this episode by talking us through the incredible sets he designed for the hit Netflix show, including the ballrooms, the Cowper residence and that iconic Penelope staircase (IYKYK). 
He also tells us about his work on other period dramas including 'Victoria' and 'The Irregulars'. 
Meanwhile, we have another hilarious made up movie plot from a listener in this week’s Crew Confessions, and we chat about the new trailer for Laura’s most recent film project, 'Paddington in Peru'!

The role of Art Department Assistant is a common entry point into the film industry, so we decided to meet one to find out more about it.
This week, we chat with Ant Hall about her route into film & TV. From army-crawling through mud on the set of 'Masters of the Air,' to working for Tim Burton on the upcoming 'Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice,' Ant shares what she's learned so far, and tells us how there's so much more to the job than just making tea.
Also in this episode, Steve has a new lead in his case to find 'Fallout' designer Howard Cummings, we share more of your Crew Confessions, and there's a special cameo from a very good boy.
