Alright! How are you? Thanks so much for joining us for episode 4 – and it’s such a good one. Paul Chahidi (This Country, The Death Of Stalin) was an absolute joy. Sometimes you meet people – even virtually – and you know you’re going to get on really well. With Paul, I imagine that happens any time he connects with someone, because he’s just the nicest man. It’s no surprise that he was perfectly cast in the iconic role of Vicar ‘Fiery Francis’ in Daisy May and Charlie Cooper’s smash hit mockumentary This Country.

We talk about so much, and he’s really honest about how he’s been dealing with lockdown and I think much of what he says will resonate with people. We talk about This Country, but also an online play he’s been involved with, gin and tonics, zoom gymnastics and, of course, what he’s been watching and reading. There’s also a moment in this episode where he puts on the dog collar for one final time and spontaneously delivers a speech as Francis that had almost had me tearing up. It’s a special moment, and I can’t wait for you to hear it.

Last week’s episode with Sarah Phelps went down really, really well and thanks so much to everyone who shared it far and wide. We’re a brand-new podcast, so your noise really helps spread the word – and that’s all we should be spreading right now.
