Phoebe Waller-Bridge: 'I was always open about sex'

We are discussing the sexual demands she would make of her partners in her 20s. 'I was always really open about sex and how I was feeling about it. In every relationship I went into, I was like, "We are going to be honest about this! Was that all right for you?"'

The first series was so perfectly self-contained, hinging on a flawlessly executed final-episode revelation, that it's hard to know where a second series could go. But doubt Waller-Bridge at your peril. The woman can even fart on command. This will be unmissable.
