March 22, 2022 Ross Kemp
Since his iconic role as Grant Mitchell in Eastenders 20 years ago, Ross Kemp's career has taken many unexpected turns. He explains how a chance opportunity to meet an American gang leader sparked a whole new career as a documentary journalist – visiting some of the world’s most dangerous places from war-zones, to drug factories, pirate waters and high security prisons. Speaking with Tom and Fran, he explains why he feels compelled to tell the stories of people living on the darkest edges of society – and the perspective it’s given to his own life (“...a Porsche and swimming pool at home are meaningless when rounds are zipping past your head”). Plus he shares news of his latest adventure, Ross Kemp: Shipwreck Treasure Hunter, coming soon to NOW.

February 07, 2022 John Bradley
From landing the role of Samwell Tarley (Game of Thrones) in his first audition after university, to starring in big-screen rom-coms with the likes of Jennifer Lopez and Owen Wilson (Marry Me), and an end-of-the-world thrillers from Roland Emmerich alongside Halle Berry and Patrick Wilson (Moonfall) – John Bradley is seemingly capable of it all. But sharing his plot twists with Tom and Fran, he admits his confidence hasn’t always been there and that it’s taken humour, heart, and a little help from Paul McCarney and Sean Paul to reach where he is today.

February 03, 2022 Adam Devine
From Workaholics to Pitch Perfect and The Righteous Gemstones, Adam Devine has carved a huge following playing lovable comedy characters. Speaking with Tom and Fran, he shares the story of how a life-changing accident in his childhood was the plot twist that eventually led him into a career of using humour as his weapon – graduating from local radio spots and ill-fated film extra roles, to writing his own TV shows and working with heroes such as Danny McBride. On the release of the series two of The Righteous Gemstones, he also brings us up to date with the wild world of crooked televangelists and megachurch pastors, alongside McBride, Edi Patterson and John Goodman.

December 16, 2021 Michael Sheen and Nathalie Emmanuel
Michael Sheen (The Damned United, The Queen, Frost/Nixon) and Nathalie Emmanuel (Game of Thrones, Fast & Furious) have had plenty of sliding door moments in their lives – from nearly entering the world of professional football, to meeting their best friends on public transport, and being cast on shows they were already fans of (“I hope I don’t mess it up”). Speaking to Tom they explain parallels between their new film Last Train To Christmas, which follows the story of Tony Towers as an outlandish nightclub owner - played by Sheen - who stumbles upon the ability to time-travel by moving from carriage to carriage.

December 09, 2021 Sir Trevor McDonald
From interviewing Nelson Mandela immediately after his release from 27-years of incarceration, to dodging bombings during The Troubles in Northern Ireland, and going head to head with infamous figures like Muammar Gaddafi – Sir Trevor McDonald has one of the most esteemed careers as a news broadcaster and interviewer on British television. Speaking with Tom and Fran, he reflects on the “luck and hard work" it took for a “young boy from Trinidad” to travel the world in such a way, explaining why putting himself in danger sometimes was sometimes the only way to tell stories with truth and integrity (whilst settling certain personal ambitions). But behind the serious reporter, Trevor opens up as a man of great humour and anecdotes – partial too to a bottle of wine and an episode of Only Fools and Horses.
