Ian Boldsworth

Surprise! Ian bumped into Richard Herring at Kings Cross station (as you do) and decided to pop in for the first half an hour of the show! Following Richard was actor Connor Swindells who joined Ian and Nat to discuss his new film VS. Finally, winner of Channel 4’s The Circle and friend of FUBAR Alex Holbern popped by to talk about winning the competition. Also on the show Daniel from Australia decided to ring in, to much confusion, and Nat read out a letter from a fan.

This week actor Matthew Floyd Jones was the first guest to join Ian in the studio ahead of his tour of Richard Carpenter Is Close To You, followed by film producer Arabella Burfitt-Dons, who joined the gang to talk about her new film, aptly named ‘F.U.B.A.R’. Producer Nat suggested Arabella should screen her film in the Prince Charles Theatre, before uttering the now immortal words ‘pop it in an Odeon’.

John Altman (AKA Nasty Nick from Eastenders) was our first guest in the studio this afternoon as he treated us to a drum solo on the desk and dreamed about appearing in other soaps as Nick Cotton! Following John was international Chef Roze Traore, who discussed how he started cooking and his plans for world domination. Producer Nat also swooned and Ian installed a klaxon in an attempt to silence her

What. A. Show. Johnny Vegas hung around and was elevated to co-host for this very special show! Johnny talked about his hate for Grease 2, and how Ian is essentially a borrower, which we can’t really argue with. Joining the gang on the phone was comedian Graham Fellows, who spoke the upcoming (and the first ever) Jilted John tour, and comedian Dave Spikey, who is about to start a 30th anniversary tour of his Juggling On A Motorbike tour. The final guest was actor and filmmaker Brad Moore, who was in the studio to talk about his new film ‘Gloves Off’!

Linda Lusardi and Sam Kane were the first guests on this week’s show. They came in to talk about panto, their time spent with Lembit Opik and calling Ian short. Hannah George and Taylor Glenn from new podcast Drunk Women Solving Crime were also in the studio, and they got a bonus interviewer in the shape of Johnny Vegas, who popped into the studio largely unannounced to make a personal plea to Nat to visit West Drayton and a variety of other UK theme parks (once he could remember her name that is).

Ian was feeling feisty in this episode and decided to challenge Krypton actor Wallis Day (trained in Boxing, MMA, Kung Fu, etc) to a fight in Northern Ireland, because there is no better way to welcome a guest into the studio. Naturally, it was concluded she would probably win. Also joining Ian was Chicho Tche and Tom Michael Blyth from High Ridin’ at the King’s Head Theatre. Nat remained angry with Ian.

It’s September, and guess what? Ian is still tired! Joining him this week was a trio of wonderful guests; first up was actor and comedian Spencer Jones, who spoke to Ian about adapting his most recent Edinburgh show for a BBC TV special. Following Spencer was author Robert Muchamore, who was in the studio ahead of the release of his new book, Killer T. And last but by no means least, the one and only Christopher Biggins was in the studio! With absolutely nothing to promote, Ian and Biggins took a stroll through both light-hearted and more serious topics, including their shared connection to Doctor Who and life in panto

Knock knock. Who’s there? Just two huge guests for Ian’s show! First up is American comedian Bob Saget, who was on the phone from the US of A to talk about his gig in London on the 21st September, and also make a large number of dick jokes with Ian. Following him was broadcaster Iain Lee, and it’s safe to say that whilst the first half the interview was all lovely, the second half got a bit… heated.

Joining Ian on the show was star of Bat Out Of Hell – The Musical Christina Bennington, who popped by to talk about how the run of the show is going, and Johnny Vegas, who was supposed to be talking about the recent charity bowls match he organised, but instead had a long conversation about what films are relationship deal breakers with Producer Nat. It was also decided that Nat, Ian and Johnny are going to go to Thorpe Park using Johnny’s VIP pass and are definitely not going to go to West Drayton.

It’s the big one; Ian’s 100th FUBAR show as Ian! And what better way to celebrate that with the age-old question – if you were beheaded, would you say you’ve lost your head, or lost your body? A trio of guests joined the show to celebrate Ian’s century, starting with Tom Phillips, author and former Editorial Director of Buzzfeed, who came in to talk about his new book Humans: A Brief History of How We Fucked It All Up, and ended up starting a newspaper with Nat and Ian. Kate Berlant also joined the show from Edinburgh, where she’s making her debut with her show ‘Comunikate’, and finally Rugby League hero Tommy Martyn was on the phone!
