'Sex Education' Intimacy Coordinator David Thackeray on tackling those awkward scenes

Don't listen with your parents, this week is all about sex (scene) education.

David Thackeray was one of the first ever Intimacy Coordinators; a relatively new role in filmmaking introduced to help the cast and crew tackle (whoops) those more delicate scenes.

He’s also one of the most in demand, having worked on ‘The Crown,’ ‘Heartstopper,’ and ‘Sex Education.’

In this episode, David tells us what his job actually involves (and more importantly, what it doesn’t), how he gets past the awkwardness, and his techniques for making a film set a more comfortable and supportive place for everyone.

Meanwhile, Laura gives her verdict on the newly-released ‘Paddington in Peru’, and we share some of your guilty pleasures and hidden treasures!
