When the blueberry pie and Mrs Reed that he promised don't turn up, the Sisters realise something is wrong.

Disclaimer: At 33:00 we messed up our own ranking! We tried to place Wonka in our overall ranking of all of Hugh Grant's movies, but we inexplicably forgot to add our two scores together, which meant Wonka ended up placing 49/50 films! The movie would have finished 25th place if scored correctly. Wonka (2023), directed by Paul King, tells the origin story of Willy Wonka, a character from the 1964 novel Charlie and the Chocolate Factory by Roald Dahl, featuring his early days as a chocolatier. Wonka is the third live-action movie based on Dahl's famous book, after Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory (1971) and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (2005). With dreams of opening a shop in a city renowned for its chocolate, a young and poor Willy Wonka, discovers that the industry is run by a cartel of greedy chocolatiers. If that wasn't bad enough, he must also work out how to contend with his stalker, a small orange man played by Hugh Grant.

Better late than never folks! Diggory and Oscar wholeheartedly apologise for their late review of Operation Fortune: Ruse de Guerre, which was finally released on limited release in the US in March 2023 and on streaming platforms elsewhere in April 2023.

Directed by Guy Ritchie, this film sees super spy Orson Fortune (Jason Statham) track down and stop the sale of a deadly new weapons technology wielded by billionaire arms broker Greg Simmonds (Hugh Grant). Reluctantly teamed with some of the world's best operatives (Aubrey Plaza, Cary Elwes, Bugzy Malone), Fortune and his crew recruit Hollywood's biggest movie star Danny Francesco (Josh Hartnett) to help them on their globe-trotting undercover mission to save the world.

Hugh Grant is generating a buzz in the showbiz world again after a trailer was dropped this week for upcoming blockbuster Wonka. Grant will play the role of an Oompa Loompa in the film that is due to be released in December 2023, and was clad in full orange and purple make-up in a short exchange with lead Timothée Chalamet at the end of the trailer. Fans online were quick to pass judgement and at one point the news was the front page of BBC News.

Oscar and Diggory start 2023 by reviewing Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery and breaking down Hugh Grant's stunning 30-second cameo. They reflect on some of his other cameos, including an eerily similar one in Trevaux, and ponder what a third Knives Out movie starring Daniel Craig and Hugh might look like. Five long-time friends are invited to the Greek island home of billionaire Miles Bron (played by Edward Norton). All five know Bron from way back and owe their current wealth, fame and careers to him. The main event is a murder weekend game with Bron to be the victim. In reality, they all have reasons to kill him. Also invited is Benoit Blanc (played by Daniel Craig), the world's greatest detective.

After a hiatus of four months, Diggory and Oscar are back to spread Hugh Grant-related Christmas cheer! First up on the agenda is new film Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery, which premiered in November but will be largely enjoyed on Netflix when it's released on December 23. Hugh has a very fleeting cameo in this 'whodunnit' starring Daniel Craig, but nonetheless it's got Hugh Grant fans talking! The boys also debrief on an ABC News 20 years retrospective on Love Actually, where Hugh Grant, Emma Thompson and others reflect on making the Christmas classic. Can you believe Love Actually came out 20 years ago....! We can't. Finally, Digs and Oscar ponder exciting news that Hugh has been cast in another HBO show, The Palace, following on from his success in The Undoing. This time, he's ticking off starring with yet another leading lady in Kate Winslet. There aren't a lot of details at present, but the fact it's being directed by Stephen Frears (who Hugh knows from A Very English Scandal and Florence Foster Jenkins) is certainly an early Christmas present.

Hugh Grant just can't stay out of the news this summer and we bloody love it! At the age of 61, Hugh has left it to the twilight of his career to appear at Comic-Con, the international comic book convention in San Diego, California. He was there along with other co-stars from upcoming movie Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves and couldn't resist cracking jokes about playing D&D (and S&M), leaving the audience in stitches. It's also been announced that Hugh is pulling out of Kaos almost as quickly as he was cast in it. It's a shame we won't see Hugh playing a vengeful Zeus, but somehow Oscar and Diggory think he may have dodged a bullet by not appearing in the new Netflix series. Finally, the lads discuss rumours Hugh was in line to play Prince Andrew in a new film based on his infamous television interview with Emily Maitlis on BBC Newsnight, and is there a return for Bridget Jones and Daniel Cleaver on the horizon...?

We've got two pieces of Hugh's News to announce, fans! First, the announcement that Hugh Grant has signed on to a leading role in eight-part Netflix series Kaos.

If the prospect of Hugh playing a Greek god wasn't enough, he has also been confirmed to play a role in Unfrosted: The Pop-Tart Story, a comedy which will be directed by Jerry Seinfeld. In recent weeks, Hugh has been spotted in a Tony the Tiger outfit in Los Angeles – feeding the rumour mill that he will be play the famous cereal mascot. Wouldn't that be grrrrrrrrrrrreat!

In the penultimate film of Hugh's catalogue, Oscar and Diggory review The Dawning (Robert Knight, 1988). They've put in some serious legwork too, by buying two copies of the DVD off eBay. Unfortunately, due to unforeseen circumstances, Diggory's copy didn't play properly so he's finally admitted that Oscar is the real Hugh Grant scholar. An idealistic young Nancy Gulliver (played by Rebecca Pidgeon) is surprised when she discovers IRA gunman Angus Barrie (played by Sir Anthony Hopkins) whilst he's on the run from the government. As they begin to get to know each other better, and Nancy begins to support Angus' cause, she must keep his whereabouts a secret from everyone, including from her dearest Harry (played by Hugh Grant).

It's Oscar and Diggory's honour and pleasure to present to you their review of Honour, Profit and Pleasure (Channel 4, 1985) in which they discuss Hugh Grant's first ever movie credit as 'Hugh Grant', his appearance in the film and what he must have made of the outfits they made him wear in the film. After the success of his London debut, German composer George Frideric Handel (played by Simon Callow) settles in England. However, after the public rejects a string of his operas and a stroke nearly fells him, Handel embarks on a high-risk gamble for his 1742 oratorio "Messiah"...

Imagine you woke up one day and realised it was all a dream... In this our 50th episode of Taking Hugh for Granted, Oscar and Diggory take a look at Night Train to Venice (Carlo U. Quinterio, 1993), discussing Hugh Grant's monobrow, the not-so-horrifying horror elements of the film and whether Hugh was right when he said that this film was the worst he'd ever made... Scottish Journalist Martin Gimmle (played by Hugh Grant) is travelling on the Orient Express night trip to Venice to drop off his copy of a book on European Neo-Nazism to an unknown publisher. On the journey, Gimmle meets a cast of characters including a performer (played by Tahnee Welch) and her daughter (played by Rachel Rice), who seem to be the only ones who can help Gimmle when the mysterious other-worldly powers of the illusive Stranger (played by Malcolm McDowell) start to take hold...

Today, the boys set foot into the ring Tyson Fury-style to go toe-to-toe with The Big Man (David Leland, 1990). When out of work coal miner Danny Scoular (played by Liam Neeson) shows off his fighting prowess in a pub brawl, his friend Frankie (played by Sir Billy Connolly) puts him forward to compete in an illegal bare knuckle fighting ring to make some cash.

Well did you? Today, Oscar and Diggory review the very last of Hugh's modern pieces – Did You Hear About the Morgans? (Marc Lawrence, 2009). The third of four rom-coms that Hugh works on with director Lawrence, once again Hugh plays a slightly detestable, but loveable Brit living in New York. Meryl Morgan (played by Sarah Jessica Parker) and Paul Morgan (played by Hugh Grant) have separated since his infidelity. After witnessing a murder, the Morgans are relocated to a tiny ranch town in Wyoming as part of a Witness Protection Scheme and told to remain until the killer is caught.

Take a trip down memory lane with Oscar and Diggory as they take a look back to where it all began - Hugh Grant's first ever film, Privileged (Michael Hoffman, 1982). Hughie Grant (as he's credited in the film) begins his acting career playing the role of Lord Adrian - a posh, entitled Oxford student with a slain deer slung over one arm, a girlfriend who doesn't love him on the other and his soon-to-be iconic floppy hair flowing lusciously behind him. For Hugh Grant fans, this is a must watch! Notable for being the first theatrical release from the Oxford Film Foundation, Privileged was a film shot by Oxford University students, starring Oxford University students and about Oxford University students. Edward Blake (played by Robert Wooley) is one of a group of Oxford undergraduates taking part in a student production of "The Duchess of Malfi". During rehearsals of the play, Edward strikes up a romance with fellow actor Anne (played by Diana Katis) and, later, Lucy (played by Victoria Studd). Whilst Edward tries to keep his relationship with one a secret from the other, he must also make sure his dalliance with Lucy is kept from her boyfriend, Lord Adrian (played by Hughie Grant)...

This week the boys travel to Neverland to review An Awfully Big Adventure (Mike Newell, 1995), or as they've officially renamed it – 'An Awfully Shite Adventure'. That being said, this film is definitely worth sticking in your VHS player because acting legend Alan Rickman stars alongside our man Hugh Grant. In 1947, a naive teenage girl named Stella (played by Georgina Cates) joins a shabby theatre troupe in Liverpool. The troupe, led by the mean-spirited and flamboyant Meredith Potter (played by Hugh Grant) put on a production of Peter Pan. After P.L. O'Hara (played by Alan Rickman) joins the cast as Captain Hook, Stella quickly becomes entangled in the theatre's web of sexual politics and intrigue...

Come one, come all and listen to the latest episode of Taking Hugh for Granted as Oscar and Diggory take a look at Extreme Measures (Michael Apted, 1996) and ask the all important questions: 'If you could cure cancer by killing just one person, would you?' and 'Is this film taking Hugh for granted?' When a man's body mysteriously disappears from his emergency room, doctor Guy Luthan (played by Hugh Grant) begins making enquiries. The trail leads Luthan to the door of the eminent surgeon Dr Lawrence Myrick (played by Gene Hackman), but Luthan soon finds himself in danger from people who want the hospital's secret to remain undiscovered...

This week Oscar and Diggory are joined by two very special guests – Marie and Coni from hit podcast Drunk On Rom-Coms. The girls certainly lived up to their name by drinking the boys under the table, despite recording at 10am. In a chat that covered everything from the definition of a 'bloke' to Diggory's trips to Disneyland, we discussed one of Hugh Grant's all time classics: About a Boy. The DORC gals were particularly taken by Nicholas Hoult's destruction of a duck in St. James's Park and his jig to Mystikal's Shake Ya Ass. But did Marie and Coni think About a Boy was taking Hugh for granted? Tune in to find out.

Come fly the flag with us this 2021 Pride month as we look back on Our Sons (TV Movie, 1991), one of a select and special few Hugh Grant projects in which he plays a LGBTQ+ character. Your hosts, Oscar and Diggory, discuss the movie's (many) mishaps, pitfalls and mistakes but also how, despite all that, it's rather inspirational... Donald Barnes (Zeljko Ivanek) is dying of A.I.D.S. His lover, James (Hugh Grant), pleads his mother, Audrey (Dame Julie Andrews), to go to Fayetteville, Arkansas to convince Donald's mother, Luanne (Ann-Margret), to end her estrangement from Donald and see him one last time...

To honour Elizabeth Hurley's birthday, today we're reviewing Rowing with the Wind, the film where Hugh Grant and Liz met and began a 13-year romance that captured the imagination of people around the world. Happy birthday Elizabeth! While Hugh and Liz parted ways many years ago, people still talk about that Versace dress! Punters might talk less about this film however, but it's nonetheless intriguing to see this 1990s power couple starring on screen together. Rowing with the Wind, original title Remando al Viento, was directed by Gonzalo Suarez and released in 1988. The film begins in the year 1816 in a villa by Lake Leman, Switzerland. Lord Byron (played by Hugh Grant) challenges each of his guests to write a horror story. Whilst Claire Clairmont (played by Elizabeth Hurley) doesn't write anything particularly inspiring, another guest, Mary Shelley (played by Lizzy McInnerny) begins her novel entitled ‘Frankenstein'...

We did it Hugh Grant fans! After writing an open letter and creating a petition demanding that IMDb remove Hugh Grant's acting credit from their website for his appearance in Casey Affleck & Joaquin Pheonix's 2010 film 'I'm Still Here', Oscar and Diggory celebrate its removal.

This week we comb through 2010 mockumentary I'm Still Here (Casey Affleck, 2010), which follows Joaquin Phoenix's Hollywood ‘breakdown' and attempt to start a tone-deaf rap career. Now I know what you're all thinking – this isn't a Hugh Grant film. We thought so too, until we discovered that it appears on Hugh Grant's IMDb page as an official acting credit – forcing us to review the film. The problem is this: Mr. Grant does NOT feature in the film at all. In fact, the only reference to him throughout the movie is a picture that only serves the purpose of mocking Mr. Grant. We believe this misleads viewers, who sought out this film to see Mr. Grant's bumbling charm or flowing locks. Moreover, on IMDb's website, other prominent figures like Barack Obama, Alec Baldwin and John Travolta who supposedly 'appear' in I'm Still Here in the same non-acting capacity as Mr. Grant are listed as ‘uncredited', and are presented with the caveat of appearing only in ‘archive footage' used in the film. Why, we therefore ask, is Mr. Grant not afforded the same treatment? Considering all this, we've decided to do the only thing left in our power: PROTEST! And we need your help! We're asking you, The Hugh Grant faithful, to press pause on Hugh's rom-coms on Netflix, sharpen your swords to Stage Combat Level 4 and bring out your hammers a la The Undoing to demand the following changes from IMDb: 1. IMDb amend Mr. Grant's listing on their website with connection to I'm Still Here to bring it in line with the credits of other stars. 2. IMDb list Mr. Grant as ‘uncredited' and as part of ‘archive footage' – not as an ‘actor'. 3. On Mr. Grant's personal IMDb page, relegate I'm Still Here from his ‘Actor' credits, to his ‘Self' credits.

This week Oscar and Diggory look back at Hugh's performance in crime-comedy Small Time Crooks (Woody Allen, 2000). Dishwasher and small-fry criminal Ray (played by Woody Allen) plots with his wife (played by Tracey Ullman) and partners-in-crime to re-open a local pizza restaurant so they can dig underneath it through to the bank a few doors down. As they can't cook pizza, they bake cookies to sell instead and, while the no-hope tunnellers get lost underground, the cookie operation really takes off. Suddenly, the would-be crooks find themselves as rich business people, fraternising with the likes of David Perrette (played by Hugh Grant). However, the other local money isn't quite ready to accept them and Ray and his wife wonder whether getting rich was really worth it...

In today's episode, Oscar and Diggory review Hugh Grant's first ever Hollywood blockbuster, Nine Months (Chris Columbus, 1995). There's certainly plenty to sink their teeth into in this episode, including Robin Williams' dreadful Russian accent, Hugh's ostentatious piercing and that infamous incident that took place in Los Angeles just a two weeks before Nine Months' release. Plush San Francisco apartment, sports car, friends, family and girlfriend, Samuel Faulkner (played by Hugh Grant) has the perfect life. That is, until he finds out his girlfriend Rebecca Taylor (played by Julianne Moore) is pregnant. Now, commitment-phobe and expectant father Faulkner might have to change his lifestyle for better or much, much much worse.
