In this month's special episode AJ interviews Keith Jayne and Rachel Beasley who played Wim and Marie-Claire in the episode Guests at God's Table. As well as recounting how they won the roles, they remember their time at the Barbara Speake Stage School, director Terence Dudley, the rehearsal process and recording at BBC TV Centre.
