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.
