## Resource

Sheridan Smith is on board with Captain Alan for a brilliantly chaotic flight - talking tattoos, caravan holidays in Cleethorpes, and a very steamy Greek romance. They dive into spa trips, anxiety and why holidays are all about switching off… before getting into Sheridan’s gripping new drama The Cage. Set in a Liverpool casino, it’s gritty, emotional, and full of characters you shouldn’t root for… but absolutely do. Plus: missed flights, tequila disasters, packing fails and a LOT of oversharing.
