SEASON 11 EPISODE 6: OPTIMISM

Finally, something light and joyful! That's right, this week, we’re reading chapters 47-55 of Any Way The Wind Blows by Rainbow Rowell through the theme of optimism. 

In this section, Agatha and Niamh head back to Watford for more goat maintenance, and meet Simon and Baz, who happen to be there researching Smith Smith-Richards. Mitali Bunce definitely knows her daughter is on YouTube doing magic but she literally has no time to care about it. And Penny and Shep come to an attractive understanding—and then Penny has a flash of brilliance.

This is the final part of the Carry On Trilogy - you can check out season 6 for Carry On and season 9 for Wayward Son.

This episode was recorded on 26 August 2023.
