All aboard Fi and Eve’s tugboat! Jane is off to an undisclosed Greek island, fending off the paparazzi. Fi and Eve discuss Noel Edmonds’ Swap Shop’s impact on the circular economy, taking a film in two halves, labia-like hanging baskets, and their favourite times of day.

Plus, Laura Hackett, deputy literary editor and fiction editor across both The Sunday Times and The Times, stops in to share her book picks of the week.
