Phoebe Waller-Bridge

Fleabag star says show will end after second series

Sian Clifford, who plays Fleabag's (Phoebe Waller-Bridge) sister Claire, appeared on BBC Breakfast where she said "there will not be a third series".

How Fleabag's second series has surpassed its first

The first series of Fleabag was a sharply written comedy with an undercurrent of sadness, coming to a head in its final episode with an unexpected gut punch. This time around, Phoebe Waller-Bridge has managed to maintain the smart, acerbic humour of series 1 while injecting more emotional moments throughout - some of them so powerful they make you want to go back and rewatch episodes as soon as you've finished them.

What makes the BBC's cult comedy Fleabag so watchable

Fleabag divides opinion like few other television dramas. Can we even decide if it is a tragedy or a comedy? Like life itself, perhaps the BBC show is a double helping of both, with a dollop of proper sauce on top.

Phoebe Waller-Bridge is the master of the monologue

Asides can sometimes feel a bit cheesy in comedy, but in Fleabag they're an insight into absurd tragedy.

In our weekly arts column, Fiona Sturges looks at how Phoebe Waller-Bridge has opened up a whole new dimension in storytelling and why, although critics are right to discuss the show's issues of class, sometimes there's just no arguing with genius.

Phoebe Waller-Bridge's fourth-wall-jabbing comedy reaches episode four, with Fleabag and the priest exchanging some of the show's strangest double entendres to date ("I think you've played with my guinea pig long enough!"). But will the pair get it on? A Quaker meeting and a J-Lo song help ratchet up the tension.

Fleabag is comedy as high, holy art

The latest episode of Phoebe Waller-Bridge's excoriating comedy was a devastating and intense display of grief.

Fleabag is helping out with an awards ceremony at Claire's work as Phoebe Waller-Bridge's excruciating comedy continues. She is serving canapes and trying really hard not to tell any jokes. So, an opportunity for some sisterly bonding? No, of course not. Instead, the episode's highlight is Fleabag chatting about the menopause over martinis with a guest-starring Kristin Scott Thomas. Although drinking G&T tinnies in the garden with the sexy priest definitely comes a close second.

Review: Fleabag, Series 2, Episode 3

This second series of Phoebe Waller-Bridge's Fleabag definitely feels as if it has opted for a more conventional comic tone.

Review: Fleabag, series 2, episode 2

After last week's slam dunk of an opening episode the second instalment of the second series slips into more conventional comedy territory with Fleabag's main concern being the fact that she has the hots for a hot priest, played by Andrew Scott.
