Catriona and Fleur are reunited! Absolutely Fabulous legends Helen Lederer and Harriet Thorpe are back together on stage – and darling, it's FABULOUS!

From their gloriously ridiculous days on Absolutely Fabulous to Harriet's current reign as Elaine Peacock in EastEnders, the two old friends reunite for a hilarious, unfiltered trip through decades of British television comedy.

Britain's Got Talent was a double-edged sword! Impressionist extraordinaire Jess Robinson joins Helen Lederer for a hilariously unfiltered episode of EFF IT!

Best known for her incredible celebrity impressions, BBC Radio 4's Dead Ringers and her unforgettable run on Britain's Got Talent, Jess reveals what REALLY happened behind the scenes of the talent show – from terrifying auditions and being booed before she'd even stepped on stage (well, the acts before her!) to the unexpected backlash she faced from the comedy industry.

But Jess has never been one to follow the conventional route. She reveals how she turned down unconditional university offers to chase her dreams, discovered her talent for impersonating everyone from Kate Bush to Stacey Solomon, and why her latest EFF IT moment meant finally stepping out from behind other people's voices.

Plus, Helen has some VERY important questions about camel toes, Jay McGuiness returns for another outrageous personality experiment, and things descend into absolute chaos with an impromptu singalong and a rather unexpected lesson in modern slang.

Big voices, bigger laughs and absolutely no filter.
