Roger Allam interviewed by Ayesha Hazarika for Times Radio - available free to listen (if you can't access it let me know, I'm fascinated by geoblocking and would never try to help someone circumvent it. Ever. No. Not me.)

Talking about Tetris (out on Apple TV today), Endeavour, The Thick of It, IRL politics, and west end theatre. Roger tells his story about going to the Old Vic for 15p like he does every time he talks about theatre. It's like having an old grandpa who tells the same story every time you see him. Which, in case you don't have an old grandpa (gender and bio relationship irrelevant) who does this, is lovely.

Content warnings: Adverts. TTOI clips with the swears bleeped out.

#Roger Allam #Tetris #Endeavour #TTOI #Peter Mannion #I hate Rupert Murdoch #I hate fucking fossil fuel manufacturing nightmares tossing some crumbs to the environment and slapping their logo on national parks #I hate bleeping out swear words with a bleep twice as loud as the dialogue #but I love Rog #it's always worrying these days that someone in public might suddenly out themselves as a terf or a fascist #Roger continues to be a delight #if a possibly a smidge uncomfortable with this interview(er?)#he hits his stride and gets a bit cross (very measured and in control) about private capital in theatre
