YOU GOT TO SEE THE CHRISTMAS SPECIAL, YAY! For some reason, I thought it was next week, oops. BUT. I'm v glad! I'm also super glad that you really liked it b/c if it was bad, I would've :('d a lot. You said that Simon was there, and Mat showed up? Was there anyone else? (omg the cast finding out about fanfic = time to hyperventilate in a bag)
the q&a was martha, jim, simon, kiell, lolly, and mat! nick the director was in the audience too. martha’s family were also in the audience along with kiell’s mum which was sweet (he embarrassed her by shouting her out and she waved and we applauded, which he said she’d kill him for later haha).
as for finding out abt fanfic, most creators are aware of it, and the idiots have been veeeeery aware of fanfic since horrible histories so i wouldn’t worry! they were not mocking at all and swiftly moved the topic along with no awkwardness, the question was purely “there’s fanfic, do you ever get any ideas for the scripts from fanwork?” and they said no they don’t steal stuff but some people have come very close to predicting things in the show!
i really really liked the episode and i have lots of thoughts on it but of course i will share those once the episode has aired <3
