Plot Twist

In this week’s episode of Plot Twist, Tom is joined by one of Britain’s most beloved comedy actors, Nick Frost. Best known for his iconic roles in the Three Flavours Cornetto Trilogy (Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, The World’s End) alongside Simon Pegg, as well as cult favorites like Spaced and Cuban Fury, Nick is back with his latest project: Get Away. This new comedy-horror film, premiering on Sky Cinema on January 10th, sees Nick not only starring alongside Aisling Bea but also stepping into the role of writer. He gives us a behind-the-scenes look at the hilarious inspirations behind this quirky tale set on a fictional Swedish island. Plus, Nick shares some of the unexpected plot twists from his own life — from the serendipitous friendship with Simon that shaped his career, to his transformative years working on an Israeli kibbutz and at a Mexican restaurant in London.

From Del Boy in Only Fools and Horses, to Detective Inspector Jack Frost in A Touch of Frost, and Granville in Open All Hours – Sir David Jason has been a staple of British television since the 1970s, ranging everything from slapstick comedy, to police drama, and animated hits. Speaking about a life of Plot Twists on screen, he pays tribute to his mentor Ronnie Barker and shares how “The Guv'nor” ceremoniously passed on the baton. David also talks about his enduring love for creating characters (think of the voices of Dangerous, or Mr. Toad) and pitches a new Mission Impossible spin-off to Tom Cruise, in response to the fact that Hollywood is the last thing on his list to conquer.  ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

From his cult role as Simon in Misfits to playing one of Game of Thrones' most evil characters, Ramsay Bolton, actor Iwan Rheon joins Tom to share his plot twist journey and behind-the-scenes gems. Starting out in a Welsh language soap opera, Iwan describes how his rise to international fame followed a series of “I can’t believe I’m here” moments, including a first day on set where he became Sir Ian McKellen’s “hero” after saving him from an accident. Today, Iwan is back with an exciting new series set in the underbelly of Ancient Rome called Those About to Die, starring alongside Anthony Hopkins. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

In a career that has spanned TV-soap fame on Eastenders, films roles including The Football Factory, theatre stints under the mentorship of Nobel Prize winning dramatists Harold Pinter, and even Celebrity Gogglebox (alongside his Love Island star daughter Dani) - it seemed that Danny Dyer had pretty much done it all. That was until actor and writer Ryan Sampson (Plebs/Brassic), suggested he play the lead role in a bombastic new Sky Original comedy, Mr Bigtsuff. Telling the story of two estranged brothers, Sampson and Dyer explore themes of "broken families, fragile masculinity and… carpet sales” in a hilarious and at times poignant romp. Joining Tom, they discuss some of the biggest plot twists in their careers including a wild first meeting in Bulgaria filming Plebs, with limoncello shots in tow.   All six episodes of Mr Bigstuff are available to watch on NOW and Sky.  ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.
