Joe Wilkinson does Porridge (the movie)
Dream Roles
09/13/22 • 24 min
Joe Wilkinson joins us to live out his dream of playing Whitaker in Porridge the film. We didn't know they'd even made Porridge the film, and no, we didn't know who Whitaker was either. It's a hilariously small part, his ambitions are low! He tells us about the director who never wanted him and we all attempt a Scottish accent.

Amit Shah does The Wedding Singer
Dream Roles
09/06/22 • 23 min
Amit Shah joins us to live his dream (and in fact Laura's) of being in The Wedding Singer. We explain to Dom what that movie is, coz she's never seen it, and talk about why the film was so important to Amit growing up. Laura's favourite catchphrase is actually from this movie and she doesn't shut up about it. We also try and pressurise him into spilling secrets about the new season of Happy Valley in which he stars.

Actor and writer Rosie Day lives out her childhood dream role of playing Annie, which also happens to be Dominique's dream role... so naturally they had to take it in turns! Rosie talks about one of the dreamiest jobs she's ever done, working with Sarah Jessica Parker, how she nearly quit, and how becoming an author and playwright has changed her view of the industry.

Colin Hoult is The Batman!
Dream Roles
10/11/22 • 26 min
After Life's Colin Hoult takes us back to Tim Burton's 'The Batman' as we read one of the scenes cut from the movie, which we literally cannot get through without laughing. Colin tells us about his Perrier nominated Edinburgh show, his exploits in 'Being Human', and working with Dom nearly 15 years ago. He also manages to make Batman sound like he works in Snappy Snaps.

Kerry Howard does Forrest Gump
Dream Roles
10/18/22 • 29 min
Comedy actor Kerry Howard does a creepily good Forrest Gump for us. We talk to Kerry about being in a play for the first time (at The National, darling! which she was doing at the time we recorded this) and getting laid on a matinee day! We talk about Him and Her, Give Out Girls, how your body image and weight can play a part in our careers, crap money, and ambitions for the future.

Kiell Smith-Bynoe does Beauty and The Beast
Dream Roles
10/25/22 • 26 min
Ghosts' Kiell Smith-Bynoe talks to us from the set of 'Dreamland', his new TV series, where he is having to do a lot more crying than he's ever done before. We picked his Dream Role for him based on his requirements 'a villain on a horse'... so Gaston from Beauty and the Beast was the logical choice. We opened a bucket of shame when we pushed him about his worst ever job and frankly we think he was doing the washing up throughout the ep, so apologies if you can hear that!

She tells us about her journey in the industry, the big highs of getting her dream job and the lows of messing up a big screen test. Nikki talks to us about taking the next step in her career and how we're distracting her from writing to a deadline for her new Sky series.
