Ian Boldsworth

This was the 99th episode of the show in this form, and it was a very busy one! Legends Fuzzbox were first in the studio to discuss their new single and tales from the 80s, followed by actor Robert Bathurst, who was on the phone live from Edinburgh ahead of his new show during the Fringe. Finally, actor Louie Threlfall was in the studio to talk about his upcoming BBC One show, Age Before Beauty.

This week Ian was joined by Dani B, a live Ali G performer, and also actor Charlie Quirke, who was in the studio to discuss his two Edinburgh shows. Also, play higher or lower with celebrity voice mail messages. Classic.

Ian was live and he kicked off the show by trying to work out how Producer Nat would like to be kidnapped in a sexy way. Following that was actor Jonny Labey, and was grilled on whether his character in Eastenders was solely responsible for making Ben Mitchell ‘nice’. Following Jonny was actress Bronagh Waugh, who among many other things, was talking about the new series of ‘Unforgettable’ on ITV. Actor Jonathan Coy was the final guest in the studio, talking all about the tour of his play ‘Duet For One’. Finally, intern Will closed the show by singing Rudimental.

Joining Ian in the studio was writer Emma Woolf, who spoke about the inspirations behind her new novel England’s Lane, as well as joining in on Ian and Nat’s big question: if you’re a Vegan, can you have sperm? Also in the studio was comedian Elf Lyons, who joined Ian ahead of her brand new show at the Edinburgh Festival in August. Here Ian tried to tackle Nat’s issues with balloons, however this was largely unsuccessful.

Ian was live and was joined by a wide variety of actors on this week’s show. First up was Richard Wisker, a cast member of Tracy Beaker, who was in the studio to chat all about his career, from acting to music, and he was followed by George Blagden & Sebastian Roche, who are both cast members in Moliere’s Tartuffe, which is currently mid-run at the Theatre Royal Haymarket until the end of July. Ian also ran a Twitter poll about Producer Nat’s height, and Barry was on the receiving of a joke.

Joining Ian and Nat in the studio this afternoon was Russian actress Anna Danshina, who was talking all about her new film ‘The Bromley Boys’. Also in the studio was David from Men With Ven, an epic musical adventure in seven parts. Ian and Nat also discussed their birthdays and tit pics.

Ian was live and was joined by Briony Rawle and David Ellis from Shit-faced Shakespeare in the studio, ahead of their run of ‘Hamlet’ at the Edinburgh Fringe. Also on the show was actor Elliot James Langridge, who stars in new film Habit, which is released on the 29th April. Actress Harriet Thorpe once again rang in to berate Ian for not seeing her show, Ruthless, The Musical, and Nat had an appraisal.

This week Ian was joined by two musical artists making a comeback; Towers of London frontman Donny Tourette, who spoke about the issues in the past as well as moving forward with a new album, and Frank Maudsley, bassist from 80s band A Flock of Seagulls, who chatted about the bands return and their new recordings featuring all four original members. Also on the show was Nat’s dating stories, plus regular Harriet Thorpe, who rang in live to continue to berate Ian for not seeing her show.

Ian was live with an important show rebrand announcement featuring several swears, and was also joined by guests Ellise Chappell, actress featuring in the new series of Poldark, and writer and actor Alan Flanagan, who has a one man show opening at the Pleasance Theatre in London. Also on the show, as normal, was Harriet Thorpe, who once again shouted at Ian for not coming to see her show Ruthless, The Musical.

This week Ian spoke to Chris Woodley about his play ‘The Soft Subject (A Love Story)’ and actress Lara Pictet about her plans for world domination. Ian also tried to get to the bottom of why someone keeps throwing holy water over Nat on the train, and tries to get in touch with former Danish intern Truls for the new feature ‘Truls’ Travel Time’, which will begin when Truls decides to answer his phone.
