Phoebe Waller-Bridge is back in her brilliant BAFTA-winning comedy.
Before she wrote 2018 BBC hit Killing Eve, Phoebe Waller-Bridge wowed us with her addictive comedy Fleabag. Now the brutally honest BBC3 series returns for a second run (also showing Monday, BBC1 HD, 10.35pm), with Fleabag delivering yet more telling looks and hilarious one-liners that are delivered straight to camera.
Bill Paterson and Olivia Colman are back to play Fleabag’s widowed dad and her poisonous godmother as the series starts with an awkward dinner party celebrating their engagement. Meanwhile, Hugh Skinner reprises his role as Harry, one of Fleabag’s useless boyfriends, and Sian Clifford returns as her sister Claire, who she still isn’t speaking to.
They’re joined by a new cast member, Sherlock star Andrew Scott. He plays an unconventional priest who Fleabag finds herself strangely drawn to, while Kristin Scott Thomas and Fiona Shaw also join, though details of their characters are being kept under wraps.
