  1. Yasmin Finney· Guest0:02

    I would just always have to, like, stick up for myself, sadly.

  2. William Gao· Guest0:05

    That's so cool.

  3. Yasmin Finney· Guest0:05

    Being trans in this day and age, you've gotta, you know, stick up for yourself.

  4. William Gao· Guest0:08

    What a vibe.

  5. Yasmin Finney· Guest0:09

    And so I had, I had to show people that I'm not to be messed with.

  6. Tia Kofi· Host0:11

    And have a chat about all things Heartstopper.

  18. Yasmin Finney· Guest0:27

    Okay, I'm ready.

  19. Tia Kofi· Host0:28

    So I've got to ask you both straight off the bat, you've done several series of the show, and now we've got a movie. You are movie stars. That is a fact. You can put that on your Instagram bio. How different is it doing sort of the TV series to the film?

  20. Yasmin Finney· Guest0:42

    I think the overall atmosphere is just different. I feel like it feels bittersweet because it is the very last thing that we do together.

  21. William Gao· Guest0:50

    Yeah.

  22. Yasmin Finney· Guest0:50

    So it's, it's quite sad.

  23. Tia Kofi· Host0:52

  29. Tia Kofi· Host1:15

  30. William Gao· Guest1:16

    Yeah.

  31. Tia Kofi· Host1:16

    Do you reckon Tao would have liked to have directed this Heartstopper movie?

  32. William Gao· Guest1:19
