Come for the company, stay for the conversation. This is a dinner table you’ll want to linger at.

In this episode of Table for Four by Good Food, Joanna Page and Mathew Horne welcome Dame Arlene Phillips and Bradley Riches for a candid, wide-ranging chat over cocktails and comfort food. What starts with steamer vs iron debates and first-date food fears quickly opens into something deeper. From Bradley’s journey into acting to Arlene’s remarkable career and the connection they’ve built across generations.

It’s part laughter, part life story, with moments that feel unexpectedly personal without ever losing its easy, conversational flow.

If you’re after a podcast that mixes showbiz insight with genuine warmth (and a few surprises along the way), settle in and join them at the table.
