Your life in film

Ted Bennett

Each week I invite a guest to talk about their life in film. Your Life in Film is a thought-provoking podcast that dives deep into the personal stories, emotions, and memories behind the movies that define us. Each episode features filmmakers, actors, writers, and passionate movie lovers sharing how specific films have influenced their lives, inspired their creativity, and shaped their worldview. Hosted with warmth, humor, and cinematic insight, Your Life in Film isn’t just about what’s on screen — it’s about the connection between film and identity. From cult classics and blockbuster hits to indie gems and forgotten favorites, this podcast celebrates the power of storytelling and the universal language of cinema. Whether you’re a casual movie fan or a die-hard cinephile, Your Life in Film invites you to revisit the films that made you laugh, cry, and dream. With questions including,  What was the first film you saw at the cinema?What film did you watch over and over again as a kid?What was the first 18-rated film you saw and how old were you?What was the first film you watched that you considered grown up?What film holds a special place in your heart?What’s your controversial opinion on a famous film?What have you been watching recently?

    Nick Helm - Comedian

    Joining me this week is Nick Helm Nick first took to the stand-up comedy stage in 2007 and quickly became a circuit legend with his tour de force of one-liners, stories, poems and jokes. Since then, he’s become one of Britain’s most loved comedians for his multiple, memorable and moving television appearances, his critically acclaimed writing and his legendary rollercoaster live shows. Across the years, Nick has taken multiple mega hit shows to the Edinburgh Fringe including the must-see Keep Hold of the Gold, the Fosters Edinburgh Comedy Award nominated Dare to Dream and the completely sold out This Means War. In 2017, he embarked on his first full tour, hitting 25 dates across the UK with his hilarious show There Is Nothing You Can Do To Me That I Haven’t Already Done To Myself. He also released two successful albums Nick Helm is F*cking Amazing and Hot ‘n’ Heavy, which feature hit songs from his solo shows and are available on iTunes and Bandcamp. Nick has become a firm TV favourite having appeared on multiple shows both acting and as himself. He was nominated for a Royal Television Society Award for his starring role in critically acclaimed BBC Three sitcom, Uncle, and also played the adorable Watto is Channel 4’s Loaded which was later broadcast on AMC in America. He’s also fronted his own food travelogue show Eat Your Heart Out with Nick Helm on Dave and his own high-octane variety show Nick Helm’s Heavy Entertainment on BBC Three. This is all in addition to his other unforgettable TV appearances such as 8 Out of 10 Cats, Russell Howard’s Good News and Celebrity Mastermind.
