Reasons To Be Joyful with Gaby Roslin – Details, episodes & analysis

Comedian, Actor, Writer and all-round joy spreader Sophie Willan joins Gaby for a natter about 'Small Prophets', 'Alma', the brilliance of dogs, her new baby and how putting some of her own life into her work has helped her through some tough times.

Will Small Prophets return for another series? Will there be an Alma Christmas special? Could Sophie be on the next series of Strictly? All these questions and more are answered...

Are the rumours true? Is Cold Feet coming back?

Gaby brought Jimmy Nesbitt, Fay Ripley, John Thomson and Cel Spellman together to find out...

They sat down at The Frog restaurant in Covent Garden, London, ahead of a charity lunch (for Children With Cancer) to discuss the show, their friendship and whether there could be....possibly...another series on the horizon!

Dougray Scott joins Gaby for a chat about his brilliant career, AI, Summerwater and much more.

They discuss his love of books and storytelling, his latest acting roles and how much happier he is since he gave up drinking.

Dougray has been asked questions in interviews recently that were directly from Chat GPT - and he could spot them a mile away, just like he could spot AI music when it was played to him - and so they discuss the use of this new technology within the entertainment industry, and how it is effecting younger generations.

He also brings in an object that makes him smile and tells Gaby the story behind it.
