Gary Oldman

Jo and Rob grab their forged passports to recap the second episode of ‘Slow Horses’ Season 4.

Later, they’re joined by Emmy-nominated star Gary Oldman to talk about how he landed on the look for Jackson Lamb, his unique relationship with the character, reuniting with Kristin Scott Thomas, and much more (48:24).

You've got to give Apple's Slow Horses one thing, it's anything but slow. The brilliant espionage drama returns for its second season in one year this week and we have stars Gary Oldman and Saskia Reeves on hand to talk all about it. Elsewhere, we're undertaking some unconventional therapy with Steve Carrel in The Patient, experiencing some even more unconventional living arrangements with Jessica Brown Findlay in The Flatshare, and solving snowy crimes in Canada with Alfred Molina in Three Pines. All that and Beth's toothbrush issue is vindicated, we take a detour on accents and there's even more Andor appreciation (sorry).
