Episode notes

Fresh from the set of Frankie Boyle-penned crime drama Meantime (starring James McAvoy), TV producer Laura Ferguson joins Zara with a spiral that has bugged her for years: why do people still play a certain moonwalking pop star?

Michael Jackson made some undeniable bangers. But can we ever separate the art from the artist?

Plus: what a producer actually does, surviving Scottish filming conditions and the art of girl math.
