Alex's recs are...
Rec 1: The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill (Lauryn Hill)
Rec 2: Past Lives (Celine Song)
Rec 3: His wife, mum and grandma

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)
