A new Sense & Sensibility is finally here, starring Daisy Edgar-Jones and Esmé Creed-Miles as Jane Austen's beloved Dashwood sisters. And when Daisy and Esmé came into The Spill studio, we had a lot to talk about.

Laura and Tina share their first reactions to the gorgeous new adaptation, the performances they loved and why its portrayal of sisterhood had them immediately wanting to call their own sisters.

Then, Laura sits down with Daisy and Esmé to talk about stepping into such iconic roles, their love of Jane Austen, how they built Eleanor and Marianne's relationship and the very sweet story of how they first met. And yes, they address the hair controversy that's taken over the conversation around the movie, revealing the thinking behind one of its most talked-about creative choices.
