Iain Armitage, Annie Potts, Montana Jordan, Raegan Revord, Zoe Perry and Lance Barber are interviewed for their The Big Bang Theory spin off show, Young Sheldon season 1.
First up we speak to Sheldon's beloved Meemaw, Annie Potts, famed for her roles in 80's classics such as Pretty in Pink and the original Ghostbusters. Paired with Annie was the Young Armitage. We couldn't quite tell if Ian was channelling his character but when he broke out in scientific dialogue we were pretty much lost.
We went on to discuss the show with Zoe Perry and Lance Barber who play the Young Sheldon's parents, Mary and George Snr. On the agenda was the subject of their connections to the Big Bang Theory. Zoe's being playing the younger version of her own mother, Laurie Metcalf who plays the "older" Sheldon's mother; whilst Lance once played Leonard's High School Bully.
Lastly, we spoke with Montana Jordan and Raegan Revord, who plays Sheldon's siblings Georgie and Missy about being on the show.
