Actor Fiona Button joined me (remotely!) for a round of questions about the shows she has starred in, how she got into the industry and what she’s watching at the moment. You are playing Lucy in the new BBC show ‘Out of Her Mind’. What was it like working on the show? It was a lovely experience. I loved working…
The brilliant ‘Sorry, I Didn’t Know’ is a new panel show on ITV about Black History. I sat down (/obviously Zoomed) with the show’s Co-Creators, Minnie and Fraser Ayres, who, alongside Jimmy Akingbola, founded TriForce Creative Network – the company behind the programme. Last year, I got the chance to work with TriForce and perform at one of their events, ‘Monologue Slam’ (I wrote…
I thought Emily in Paris was a film. A romantic comedy. Something I could watch for an hour and a half – digest it, feel good about it, then move on with my life. I’d even planned making an evening of it with my friend who lives around the corner. We like to watch ‘stuff like that’, while eating poke bowls. We don’t plan…
Over on The Screenster Podcast (listen on iTunes, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts) I’m lucky to have chatted to some brilliant people in the film and television world. From the Cinematographer on Normal People, to the Production Designer on Fleabag, as well as actors on your favourite shows like Game of Thrones, I’ve enjoyed finding out more about the shows I love…

Did it make me feel nostalgic? Heartbroken? Sad? Happy? Excited? Optimistic? Well, yes. All those things. And more, so much more. The show made many…
Whether it’s romcoms, 90s teen movies, court dramas, documentaries, reality TV, the latest Netflix binge or the show that everyone is talking about on Amazon Prime, there is literally no time like the present to settle down in front of something. I know, I know. It’s easy to guilt yourselves over too-much screen time. And I obviously don’t mean sit in front…
Me, Myself & I
Welcome to Screenster. I’m Georgie and I’m interested in the TV shows and films that entertain, make you laugh, keep you company and remind us that there are still lots of jobs out there for actors. I’m an actor myself and I needed something that stopped me from twiddling my thumbs and, well, pulling my hair out when I’m not working. I’m also a podcast host, golden retriever enthusiast, netball captain and Newcastle United fan.
Follow me on @screensteruk too. Nice to meet you!
