What has Phoebe Waller-Bridge said about new Bond film No Time To Die?
Phoebe revealed that she had been asked "to help out" with the script of the 25th Bond flick.
She told the BBC: "They were just looking for tweaks across a few of the characters and a few of the storylines."
She also revealed that Bond bosses didn't ask her to change the series' narrative in the wake of the #MeToo movement.
Phoebe said: "They were already doing that themselves.
"They're having that conversation with themselves the whole time. It (her involvement) was much more practical.
"Just, 'You're a writer, we need some help with these scenes. And you come up with some dialogue for these characters'."
What has Phoebe Waller-Bridge said about a third season of Fleabag?

“It does feel like the story is complete… It does feel right. Go out on a high. You can’t get higher than this.”
