    Danny Dyer and Ryan Sampson

    Danny Dyer and Ryan Sampson

    In a career that has spanned TV-soap fame on Eastenders, films roles including The Football Factory, theatre stints under the mentorship of Nobel Prize winning dramatists Harold Pinter, and even Celebrity Gogglebox (alongside his Love Island star daughter Dani) - it seemed that Danny Dyer had pretty much done it all. That was until actor and writer Ryan Sampson (Plebs/Brassic), suggested he play the lead role in a bombastic new Sky Original comedy, Mr Bigtsuff. Telling the story of two estranged brothers, Sampson and Dyer explore themes of "broken families, fragile masculinity and… carpet sales” in a hilarious and at times poignant romp. Joining Tom, they discuss some of the biggest plot twists in their careers including a wild first meeting in Bulgaria filming Plebs, with limoncello shots in tow.  
    All six episodes of Mr Bigstuff are available to watch on NOW and Sky.

Nicholas Galitzine Interview

Thank you so much for grabbing time with one of my favourite actors in the world. Nick always comes across as so down to earth and humble and your interview allowed him to continue to be both. Great questions, which allowed me to learn lots I didn’t know about Nick. I’ve watched all of Mary and George and I hope he gets as much recognition for this role as he wants Tony Curran to have. So excited to see where Nick goes beyond The Idea of You and I’ll be watching with interest.

Lovely listen!

Really enjoy the guests, hearing about their lives and behind the scenes! Would recommend a listen.

Annoying woman presenter

Painful to listen to her inane drivel and annoying voice. And dissecting your guest afterwards is downright rude, even with copy and pasted compliments.
