Looks like the #PatisserieValerie finance officer has tried to have his cake and eat it. You could say, he's "scone" too far. You could also say, the company may never gateau-ver it. You could also say, he's bitten off more than he can "choux"

Has anyone talked about how in "I May Destroy You", @MichaelaCoel gave all the characters names? Even if it was a waiter with one line. Love that, makes every character feel human. Plus, as an actor, you get a named character on your CV, not just "Man in Pub".
