Series 2 Outtakes

This one may require an apology...
 
Against our better judgment, and all advice, we have decided to share with you some of the bits that we absolutely could not include in our discussions about series 2 of Heartstopper. Don't worry, there won't be any obscene or offensive language, but expect stumbles, fumbles, childish behaviour and A LOT of very heavy innuendo. We just hope that this doesn't alter your opinions of us and that you come back for more episodes of You're Not Allowed to Say the 'S' Word. Be warned, this is definitely a blooper collection for ages 15+.
 
If you feel the need to tell us off for our terrible behaviour, then you can do so on our Facebook group or on Insta: @aheartstopperpodcast
