BEST OF BEFORE THE LIGHTS #1: When auditions go wrong (ft. James Norton, Sacha Dhawan, Izzy Laughland & Henry Ashton)

Before The Lights

Show Notes

After three years, almost 50 episodes and more and more people finding our show, we thought it was a good time to take a look back at some of the highlights over the last four series of Before The Lights and uncover some hidden gems you might have missed along the way.

We're starting our dive into the archives with some of incredible, and at times slightly worrying, stories about nightmare auditions with help from a sweaty post-cycle James Norton, the panicked screams of Sacha Dhawan, Izzy Laughland's impromptu dance and a wardrobe mishap for the ages courtesy of Henry Aston.

We'll be back soon with more highlights, but in the meantime if any of these titbits have caught your attention then feel free to take a scroll through our feed for SO many more.

'Two actors and a rugby player join a zoom call' sounds like the start of a really rubbish joke, but it's actually the beginning of a very special conversation.
