Imelda Staunton

This week, Ryan had the absolute pleasure of chatting with Bessie Carter, who is starring in Mrs Warren’s Profession alongside her mother, Imelda Staunton. Suzi Ruffell joined Ryan at the Top of the Tower to discuss her memoir, Am I Having Fun Now? Miranda Raison Zoomed in from Bath to talk about treading the boards in Grace Pervades . The brilliant Brontë Coy, Senior Entertainment Reporter for News.co.au, stopped by to chat about all things Oasis, Superman, Paul McCartney's latest U.S. tour, and, of course, Wimbledon. To round off the week, one of Ireland's greatest chefs, Richard Corrigan, visited to talk about his HOMEGROWN festival returning for a second year. Hosted on Acast.

We have a right royal podcast for you this week as Her Majesty Imelda Staunton and HRH Leslie Manville join us to talk The Crown with Boydy. Plus, Luke Treadaway stops by for a quick chat about The Serial Killer's Wife on Paramount+. Elsewhere, we embark on perhaps the most shambolic review in Pilot history as we try (and fail) to determine what series of Something Undone we're reviewing on ITVX. All this before we get back inside the TARDIS for the third of RTD's Doctor Who anniversary specials.
