Olivier Award winning choreographer and director Dame Arlene Phillips and TV Choice Award winning actor Bradley Riches go head-to-head to debate the biggest topics in pop culture – from the most iconic performances to the most overrated artists. Each week, they will argue their opinions, read listener-submitted messages, and get to the bottom of some of culture’s biggest conversations.
Are we all just pretending? On this episode of Ask Me A Question, Dame Arlene Phillips and Bradley Riches tackle the question everyone secretly thinks about: what is something people only pretend to enjoy?
Arlene makes her case against the art world — are those gallery-goers posting sculptures on their stories just pretending to be intellectuals? - whilst Bradley confesses to the despising the excruciating experience of making small talk with a baby who has absolutely no idea what you're saying and no intention of responding.
The listeners weigh in too: running marathons, going to weddings when you barely know the happy couple and having children. Arlene's verdict on that last one? If you're not fully in, don't even go there.
Plus: why Arlene lost a pair of Dior shoes, the genius of only inviting one half of a couple, and why Bradley ultimately admits his own argument might be a bit rubbish.
