The first episode of the series explores fucking up, with theatre maker Chris Thorpe. In 2011, Hannah and Chris made a show together called The Oh Fuck Moment – a show about how we culturally handle mistakes, asking audiences to celebrate them instead. In 2014, Hannah and Chris made a series of mistakes that fucked up their working relationship. This episode asks, how do you get back into a room together, even if you believe the other to be wrong? This episode asks what kind of mistake-maker you might be.
