Hi, I'm Vicki Notaro and I'm here to interview some of my favourite people about one of my favourite topics in the whole wide world – romantic comedies. And actually, not just comedies – tragedies, bonkbusters, tearjerkers, weepies and teen movies; because the whole spectrum of life is alive in romantic movies - and every story is a love story, really.

This week I’m joined by broadcaster Carl Mullan who tells us his own beautiful friends to lovers story with wife Aisling through the lens of When Harry Met Sally - my own favourite romcom ofall time, and widely regarded to be the best ever made.Proudly supported by Nizoral Scalp CareMidroll advert by Odeon Cinemas Hosted on Acast.
