In Part Two, Ged and I discuss the Marquess era and I remind him of some classic Cullen lines. We also chat about his exit from the series and some of his work as a writer. Plus, how he'd like to be involved if Sun Hill came back to our screens...

Ged's first book, The Gravedigger's Story is "A charming, melancholy yet eloquent tale, beautifully told" - Fay Weldon

Ged's second book, Performance Anxiety - a comedy in three acts - is an eBook very very loosely autobiographical - a year in the life of an actor struggling with his career and his love life.
