During a career that includes Sex Education, Barbie and SAS Rogue Heroes, this week's guest Connor Swindells was only ever working towards one role; being Lauren Lyle's on-screen husband in The Bombing of Pan Am 103.

It was there that the duo bonded over coffee machines, cats (aka "babies") and a tour of a crematorium that "changed everything". Thankfully they also share a love of great female-fronted culture that have had enough of an impact on Connor for him to add them to the ever-growing She's A Rec list of unmissable recommendations.

Connor's recommendations…

Rec one: Lone Rider (Elspeth Beard)

Rec two: The Mustang (Laure de Clermont-Tonnerre)

Rec three: Big (Penny Marshall)

Another week, another wildly tasteful recommendations for you. This time from the mind of acting’s, comedy’s, literature’s, the internet’s very own Harry Trevaldwyn.

Lauren’s dangerously talented pal (and kissing practice partner) covers some serious ground from how terrible he’d be at The Traitors, to “rocking out” in a fairly embarrassing way at a HAIM show and gifting his favourite books to cast and crew on set at the end of filming.

Harry’s recommendations…

Rec one: Girls (Lena Dunham)

Rec two: Muted (Poppy Ackroyd)

Rec three: Tin Man (Sarah Winman)
