We’re in Epping Forest with the legendary England cricket player, Tammy Beaumont (aka Little Mitts) - and her black Labrador, Indy!

In this part of our chat, we discuss some of the barriers faced by young women getting into sport - and what is being done to overcome them. Tammy tells us about some of the incredible places cricket has taken her - including getting her MBE after helping England win the Cricket World Cup in 2017. 

We have so much brilliant cricket ahead of us - including the India series this summer and the Women’s World Cup next year - so it’s the perfect time to get obsessed with cricket, which thanks to Tammy - we absolutely are! 

If you want to catch Tammy in action this summer you can get tickets to see her play here - or you can watch all the action on Sky Sports!

Today we’re in beautiful Epping Forest with the internationally recognised, record-breaking cricketer Tammy Beaumont!

Tammy currently plays for England and she was part of the winning 2017 Women’s Cricket World Cup team - she was named the player of the tournament and was awarded an MBE for services to cricket!

We were joined by Tammy’s beautiful black Labrador Indy, who was named after Indiana Jones… and absolutely lives up to his namesake! 

Tammy tells us all about coming from a cricket-loving family, what it was like to be the only girl on the team and how she’s driven by the desire to prove everyone wrong. 

It’s an incredibly exciting time for women’s cricket - and Tammy tells us all about how cricket is becoming more inclusive and what that means for women in sport and beyond.

Tom tells us all about the surreal gig that helped to inspire him and long time collaborator Tim Key to write the film - and how Tim slid into Carey Mulligan’s inbox to ask her to be in the film. 

Raymond also had a bit of an embarrassing moment - which Tom handled with absolute class! We also find out the most controversial way to cut a Schnauzer’s beard…

This week, Emily and Ray are taking a glorious morning stroll on Hampstead Heath with the actor, writer and comedian Tom Basden! 

Tom grew up with a succession of Miniature Schnauzers - but he doesn’t currently have a dog… although his children are currently trying to convince him to get a Labrador… could a walk with Raymond be what brings him back to the dog side? 

We found out how Tom went from what he describes as a “really normal” childhood to writing and starring in some of the nations favourite TV comedies, including Plebs and Afterlife. We also discuss Tom’s perspective of Tim Key’s ‘great lie’, how he feels about casting himself in shows he has written and his experience of working with Ricky Gervais. 

Tom’s new film The Ballad Of Wallis Island follows the story of how old tensions resurface when former bandmates who were former lovers reunite for a private show at the island home of an eccentric millionaire. You can catch it in cinemas the UK from 30th May!

Today, we’re walking in glorious Regent’s Park with the wonderful comedian Stuart Goldsmith. 

As well as having an incredibly successful and critically-acclaimed career as a stand-up, Stuart is pretty much the OG of podcasting - he started his podcast The Comedian’s Comedian in 2012. Today - we’re turning the interview tables on him!

Stuart and his family are based in Bristol - and he doesn’t have a dog, and is - in fact - allergic to dogs! However, we’re pretty convinced that once Stuart’s kids take a look at Raymond they’re going to have to convince him to get one. 

Stuart tells us about his rather fabulous career progression - from court jester to street performer to stand-up - Stuart really knows everything about comedy. In this chat, he shares some of what he’s learned from interviewing over 500 comedians on his podcast.
