Gillian Anderson Makes a Weird Green Pudding For Thanksgiving | Table Manners Podcast

Welcome to a very special series of episodes where we delve into the archive from Series 16 & 17 of Table Manners. These episodes were filmed but never released in full video… until now! Here’s a very special episode ‘Fresh from the Archive!’ in all its visual glory, enjoy! We kicked off Series 17 with an absolute icon joining us, the excellent Gillian Anderson! Gillian joined us to talk about her latest book ‘Want’, all about sexual fantasies… not a conversation I thought mum & I would ever have. We also heard about the tuna fish casserole with crisps her mum made her while growing up, playing Blanche Dubois, her favourite green jello thanksgiving side dish (it’s giving Ghostbusters!), the future of The Fall and she teaches us all about her G Spot! Gillian, thank you being our dream guest to kick off an epic series and for navigating us through our sexual fantasies! We talked about Gillian's book 'Want' in this episode, but now the follow up has been released too - 'More’ is available to buy now.
