We’re taking a little mid-season break from Season 2 of You’re On Tonight, but we’ll be back with our regular programming next week! In the meantime, we’ve got something special for you.

In this special episode, Kara and Liam revisit some of their favourite guests from Season 1, sharing extraordinary stories, hilarious mishaps and fascinating insights that didn’t make the original episodes.

David Tarkenter recalls an unforgettable encounter being massaged on stage by Alan Cumming and Daniel Radcliffe. Dawn Buckland takes us behind the scenes of Starlight Express for a particularly unfortunate plumbing disaster, while Operation Mincemeat Associate Director Georgie Staight reveals the differences between rehearsing with understudies and principal cast members.

James Haxby gets candid about what needs to change in the theatre industry, from social media to contracts. And finally, Dawn returns with an extraordinary story involving Pierce Brosnan, a Greek island and a very dramatic arrival by speedboat.

Five missed moments, four brilliant guests, and some stories we couldn’t bear to keep to ourselves.

We're taking a little mid-season break from Season 2 of You're On Tonight, but we've got something special for you!

What's the secret to building a lasting career in theatre? And what do the people who've actually done it wish they'd known sooner?

In this special episode, Kara and Liam revisit some of the most memorable advice from Season 1, bringing together the wisdom, experiences and unexpected lessons that have stayed with them.

From Eddie Marsan on becoming invaluable by solving problems, to director Georgie Staight on building relationships rather than contacts, Laura White on refusing to be put in a box, and James Haxby on staying open to wherever your career takes you. Plus, Nicola Espallardo on patience and self-belief, and David Tarkenter on the importance of putting in the work.

Kara also shares a piece of advice given to her off-mic by one of the show's guests that's stayed with her ever since: the difference between being an actor who wants to act and someone who simply wants to be an actor. Is it the love of the craft that drives you, or the recognition that comes with it?

Full of practical advice, honest reflections and a few brilliant stories, this episode is a reminder that there's no single path to success - and sometimes the most valuable lessons come from the journeys you didn't plan.

Eddie Marsan has built one of the most extraordinary acting careers in Britain. From Ray Donovan and Ridley Road to blockbusters like Vera Drake, Back to Black, and Sherlock Holmes, he’s almost never been off our screens. But now, for the first time, Eddie talks about his return to the stage after 24 years.

In this encore, Eddie talks about how he learnt to act on stages above pubs in anonymity, how the best actors are problem-solvers, and why he still faces classism in the industry today despite his success.
