Peter Capaldi – aka Malcolm Tucker, Dr Who, the universal screen delight and an Oscar-winning film director – was the singer in the punk band the Dreamboys in the late ‘70s who put out a single when he was at the art school in Glasgow. And then became an actor. And then - in the grand tradition of actors who've made albums, Hugh Laurie, Scarlett Johansson, Jeff Bridges and Keanu Reeves among them – released St Christopher in 2021. He's just recorded a second, Sweet Illusions, and talks to us in this extremely funny and entertaining pod about … … how his sole motivation was “a burning desire to be on the telly”. … the difference between fronting bands and being in plays. … how he grievously stitched up support band the Cocteau Twins at a gig in Grangemouth. … a teenage love of Slade - “a bit terrifying but still a bit safe”. … first-hand evidence of the connection between Blakey from On the Buses, Adolph Hitler and Beatles. … “you have to write a hundred songs before you can write a good one”. … arriving at art school in '76 a Neil Young fan and his overnight transformation – “peroxide hair, PVC trousers and bright red crepe sole shoes”. … seeing Simple Minds at the Mars Bar in Glasgow, Jim Kerr with his Shakespearian haircut, “strange, powerful, imaginative, post-glam”. … forming the Dreamboys and “trying to be big, clever and Kafka-esque”. … the stigma of being virtually the only band in Glasgow not to get a John Peel session. … writing the “bizarro pulp” lyrics for the Dreamboys – “we couldn't decide if we were the Cramps or Talking Heads”. … what's required, “apart from a terrible Scouse accent”, in playing John Lennon onstage and George Harrison onscreen. … auditioning (comedian, actor, TV host) Craig Ferguson as the band's drummer. … how Bill Forsyth launched his acting career: “one minute you're supporting Altered Images, the next in a movie with Burt Lancaster”. … forming a duo with Keanu Reeves when filming Dangerous Liaisons in Paris – powdered wigs in the daytime, guitar/bass punk-thrash at night. .. the romantic Edward Hopper charm of Glasgow in the ‘70s - proto-goths, street lights, rain. … how Dr Robert of the Blow Monkeys and four months filming The Suicide Squad in Atlanta spurred him into writing songs. … the greatest record of all time.

Below The Belt Show (www.belowthebeltshow.com) presents exclusive on-location interviews from Philadelphia Fan Expo fanexpohq.com/fanexpophiladelphia/ with actor Ethan Suplee! BTB's own Al Sotto talks to Ethan about one of his more memorable roles in Mallrats as well as the much-anticipated Mallrats 2: Twilight of the Mallrats, of which he recently did a script read. Ethan also talks about the possibility of a My Name is Earl sequel or reunion, his idea for a Boy Meets World sequel including his bully character and his work on Hulu's Chance with Hugh Laurie. Ethan also gives us health advice and his motivation in dropping weight and getting into incredible physical shape!
Meet Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie -- known to comedy fans as Fry and Laurie -- one of the funniest and best loved British comedy duos to emerge in the 1980s. Introduced to each other by Emma Thompson when they were students at Cambridge, Stephen and Hugh got their biggest boost when BBC hosted A Bit of Fry and Laurie from 1989 to 1995. Their sketch interplay was stellar, as was their bit of breaking the fourth wall to address the audience directly. And their acting chops served them well when they were cast as Jeeves and Wooster in an adaptation of the PG Wodehouse "Jeeves stories". They also lent their wit to the Ben Elton "Black Adder" series, including some brutal satire in the final series, set in WW I. In recent years the lads have mostly performed solo, but they remain close friends and who knows, perhaps a Bit *More* of Fry and Laurie might be in our future -- at least we can hope. As always find extra clips below and thanks for sharing our shows! Want more Fry and Laurie? As with many of their Brit contemporaries, Fry and Laurie were happy -- almost gleeful -- to smash comedy tradition including a gift for breaking the fourth wall. https://youtu.be/s4bPsGsNGi4?si=wgteHCLcf4ucTabu Fry and Laurie were both excellent comic actors and their chemistry was put to good use when they starred in a television adaptation of the PG Wodehouse Jeeves and Wooster series. https://youtu.be/LObPaCloY8E?si=QlsCtBp0B2upTXZa The Black Adder series of English historical comedies have a devoted fan base, and Fry and Laurie were right in the mix as in this darkly comic bit from the final series, Black Adder Goes Forth. https://youtu.be/RcIV5tU_Zik?si=R2o_WtJkMXwdadWq

... and an aborted attempt at talking about the classic British comedy, Blackadder, with Rowan Atkinson, Stephen Fry, Hugh Laurie, etc.

When a seemingly beloved chiropractor is poisoned with an extreme dose of gout medicine, the suspects, their opportunities, and their various motives don't line up unless they're all in it together or they're all trying to frame each other. Unless it's none of them? Was Pam Hupp in the area? How is Hugh Laurie involved? And now, Queen Canning is bringing us a new update on the legal case! It's POISON TWIST (with a lime)!

Hurrah! The hiatus is over. Welcome back friends and fellow crushers. Crushed is back with the live episode recorded at the London Podcast Festival just a couple of weeks ago. If you were there, you might hear yourself chuckling. My guest is of course the inimitable (and yes, I have tried) Miles Jupp! Former News Quiz host, erstwhile portrayer of Archie the Inventor in Balamory (in a very dashing Tam O'Shanter, honestly, google it), and the lucky, lucky man who got to be in Hugh Laurie's "Why Didn't They Ask Evans?" Guess which one we talked about most? He is an utter joy, and a very funny man. I think you'll enjoy an hour of him deflecting my probing into his inner emotional life, while I try to prise him open like a reluctant clam. Do we leave with a deeper understanding of the early loves and lusts of Miles Jupp? Arguably, no. But we do learn the new-to-me term "raging bonk-on", and get hints of a secret hankering for an older stateswoman. I hope it's not the Queen.

Time for a crash course in cultural etiquette – 'cause we want to explore the world with respect and open minds. First things first, let's talk gestures – what's a friendly wave in one culture might be a big no-no in another. So, do some cultural research and avoid any accidental finger-pointing blunders. Dress code is like a fashion show with cultural twists. So, dress modestly when needed, and remember, it's not just about style, it's about showing respect for traditions. Oh, and speaking of respect, let's leave stereotypes at home – it's like a travel taboo! Every culture is unique, so let's embrace diversity and avoid making assumptions about people based on their nationality.

In the second half of our Not For Everyone Podcast recommendations, we're watching another Stephen King adaptation - 2003's “Dreamcatcher”. A film in which Morgan Freeman's eyebrows are designed to stop pigeons nesting; Damian Lewis auditions to play the Joker as Hugh Laurie; and Jason Lee just needs to leave those fucking toothpicks where they are! For a film about killer worms that burrow into your arse; “Dreamcatcher” has a remarkably glossy and expensive look, with a cast of big names. Written by King whilst high on painkillers, the story has a lot of similarities with his classic “It”, even down to its fictional location. Somehow though, the film manages to either take itself too seriously or not seriously enough, and may have been improved for amping up the (toilet) humour of the premise.

When Zach Woods was first cast as Gabe on Season 6 of ‘The Office,' he found a comment online where someone described his face as a “combination of sadness and food poisoning.” And that was before he had even appeared in an episode. “I was like, buckle up, here we go!” he recalls thinking at the time. In this episode, Woods breaks down how he went from the “abject terror” of joining one of his favorite comedy shows to channeling some of the tech world's biggest weirdos as Jared on HBO's ‘Silicon Valley' to co-creating and starring as the deeply awkward fictional NPR host Lauren Caspian in his new stop-motion animated Peacock show ‘In the Know' opposite live-action celebrities like Mike Tyson, Hugh Laurie, Nicole Byer and others.

Dr Lisa Sanders, writes a column called Diagnosis in the New York Times magazine, which was the inspiration for the Fox medical drama House, M.D. .The show in which Hugh Laurie, playing Dr Gregory House, regularly managed to diagnose the most obscure of medical conditions. But today Lisa has arguably a rather tougher challenge than Hugh Laurie ever faced, she's recently become the Medical Director of Yale's Long Covid Multidisciplinary Care Center. Long Covid can affect multiple systems and organs in the body, and finding effective treatments so far has proved extremely difficult. However, Lisa reveals several approaches that it does appear can help at least some patients. She argues that we need to see long covid not as entirely new phenomenon, but in the context of many other post-acute infection syndromes such as ME/CMFS or flu. Controversially, Lisa suggests that it needed enough doctors to get sick from long covid for the profession to start taking these syndromes more seriously.

We started the Pre-Party branch of Collider Ladies Night for artists like Aria Mia Loberti. The show is designed to highlight newer filmmakers who are undeniable stars and are bound to soar in this industry while changing it for the better both in front of and behind the lens. That is Loberti.Loberti is in the midst of celebrating her first professional acting role ever, a performance that earned her a Best Breakthrough Performance in a New Scripted Series nomination at the Independent Spirit Awards. She leads the Netflix limited series All the Light We Cannot See as Marie-Laure LeBlanc, a blind French teenager who flees German-occupied Paris with her father (Mark Ruffalo) to live with her uncle (Hugh Laurie) in St. Malo where he transmits secret radio broadcasts as part of the resistance. When her father fails to return home, Marie continues the broadcasts herself, transmissions that continue to be highly valuable to the resistance and also serve as opportunities for Marie to try to reconnect with her father.In celebration of her work in All the Light We Cannot See, Loberti joined me for a Collider Ladies Night Pre-Party conversation to explain how she scored the role of a lifetime and how the series has given her an incredibly strong foundation as she moves forward with her wildly promising career in Hollywood. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Kevin has been a fixture on our tellies for so many years that we feel like we know him. But, actually, I didn't have a clue about his life story, so this conversation was really interesting for me. He tells me about growing up in what he refers to as an ‘architectural zoo' of housing from different eras. We talk about his involvement with Footlights, the famous comedy troupe at Cambridge University, where he collaborated with Stephen Fry, Hugh Laurie and Emma Thompson. And he explains why he's spent years living in a camper van and why his future home will definitely have a view of the mountains. Kevin is one of the most engaging and fiercely intelligent guests I've spoken to on Homing In and he's full of amusing anecdotes and top tips. I hope you enjoy the episode!For more: Watch Grand DesignsSubscribe to The Modern House newsletter for weekly interiors inspirationFind out more about Matt Gibberd's latest book, A Modern Way To LiveProduction: Hannah PhillipsEditing and mixing: Oscar CrawfordGraphic Design: Tom YoungMusic: FatherThis episode is sponsored by Vitsoe.

Hugh Laurie delivers some of his best work in an episode that has high points and also Foreman being really annoying and wrong. What happens when some kids are left parentless? Apparently their brother has to step in to raise them even though he works at Five Nights at Freddy's and also has a jacked up immune system. And if he doesn't he's a bad person?! Whatever. There's lots of great House/Wilson stuff and we've got a recap of the first 17 minutes of the House MD DS game, as watched being played by some noisy guy.

In November 2004, the hit television show “House” premiered and raked in a massive nineteen million viewers by its first season finale. House was a show that broke all the rules of what a prime-time medical show should be. And while many people tuned in to watch Hugh Laurie's brilliance in the role, they were also glued to the relationship he had with his boss, Dr. Lisa Cuddy, played by the incredible Lisa Edelstein. In addition to playing Dr. House's closest confidant (among many other iconic roles), Lisa is also an extraordinary artist — she paints stunning photorealistic scenes from her family's past that transport us back to a simpler time. Even more impressive, she only started painting in 2020, and now her paintings are being displayed at art galleries across the country. Listen in to hear more about Lisa Edelstein's incredible career and why she feels more herself than ever post-menopause. More money news when you need it!

This is our special Children's Episode. It was written and produced for young listeners and was inspired by a movie that Tim recently saw. It is not designed to entertain, though it may. It is not designed to educate, though it will. It is designed to make the listener think, to question and to want to know more. As you listen, please know I can't know what you like or don't like, or more importantly, what your kids like or don't like, unless you tell me. Please use the contact form on this site. That will help me plan future episodes. https://traffic.libsyn.com/forcedn/shapingopinion/Childrens_Episode_Pilot_auphonic.mp3 We're doing something different today. Really different. So different that from what I can tell, there aren't any other podcasts out there doing this at all. So, let's call this an experiment, and I really need you to do a couple of things to see if this something worth doing again…or not. First, a little background. Not too long ago, I watched a movie called, “All the Light We Cannot See.” It's a movie based on a fictional novel of the same name. It's set in occupied France during World War II, but the story itself centers on human connections. A blind girl, a German boy, a French resistance fighter, and this voice over the radio the kids only know as, “The Professor.” When I watched the movie, I was captivated by the simplicity and the power of those connections. And it was all because of stories and information read over the radio to listeners that the reader could not see or even know were listening. The professor in the movie was actor Hugh Laurie. His Shakespearian delivery would put me to shame, so trust me, I'm not trying anything close to that here. But still, I thought it worth a shot to come up with my own variation of this, inspired by that story. So, I created this episode for your kids, or someone's child you may know. All I ask is that you listen first, and if you like what you hear, share it with a child. And then let me know how it went. I mean that. If it is indeed something kids may like, I won't know unless you tell me. Just log onto the contact form at ShapingOpinion.com to let me know. Or, send an email to Tim@ShapingOpinion.com.

If you'd like to win but you think you can't, It's almost a cinch you won't. If you think you'll lose, you're lost, For out in the world we find, Success begins with a fellow's will; It's all in the state of mind. If you think you're outclassed, you are; You've got to think high to rise. You've got to be sure of yourself, before you can ever win a prize.

Anthony Doerr's 2014 war novel All The Light We Cannot See has been adapted into a four-part TV series on Netflix. The story is based in Nazi-occupied France during World War Two, and revolves around a blind character called Marie-Laure LeBlanc and a German boy, Werner Pfennig, who is pressed into serving as an anti-German radio broadcast interceptor for the Nazi army. Aria Mia Loberti plays the role of Marie in the series and she joins us from Rhode Island to share what the experience was like of starring in her first acting role, the choices she applied to the character and she shares anecdotes of what it was like on set as a blind person and filming with the likes of Hugh Laurie. Fern Lulham is the voice of the audio description for the adaptation on Netflix and she tells us more about how audio describing works when you're visually impaired and Sean Randall is an avid reader, who has both read the book and watched the series, he helps us assess how well Marie-Laure LeBlanc has been adapted to the screen. The Netflix series All the Light We Cannot See was written by Steven Knight and Directed by Shawn Levy.

Spice-filled items tossed into the conversational cooking-pot this week include:- … our charming encounter with Gary Numan, possibly the world's most contented man. … the next step in the age of spectacle: the sensory bombardment of U2's shows at the Las Vegas Sphere and the crippling cost of experiencing it. … Taylor Swift's genius for publicity and the subtle art of connecting with “Joe Six-Pack”. … the shockingly unwise and unfathomable pronouncements of Roger Waters and how his fall-out with David Gilmour makes Lennon's ‘How Do You Sleep?' seem like a love letter. … pop stars and their hair transplants. … what do bands think of their tribute acts? .. the ‘Austin Powers' albums of David McCallum, a star so huge he needed a police motorcade. … Hugh Laurie, James Gandolfini, Carrie Fisher, Colin Firth, Felicity Kendal and others whose TV roles made them sex symbols. … and do rock stars really change people's political views?Tickets for Word In Your Ear live at 21 Soho on October 30th here: https://www.tickettext.co.uk/ysY3FvyFaeSubscribe to Word In Your Ear on Patreon for early - and ad-free! - access to all of our content: https://www.patreon.com/wordinyourear Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.

Season 14, Episode 29: He is just about everybody's favourite, and it's obvious why. Stephen Fry has been a comedy and literary hero for Geoff and Adam, starting with his work on Blackadder and with Hugh Laurie, and building through the decades. He also adores cricket, even though from childhood he hated all other sport. So all these years later he ended up spending a year as president of the Marylebone Cricket Club - both part of and subject to a time of great change. We sit down with Stephen to talk about change, creativity, collaboration, and the difficulties of fighting any sort of system.

Aussie commentator Mel Jones is on the pod to try and make sense of an extraordinary five days of cricket at Lord's during the Men's 2nd Ashes Test. Plus, what happened when Fe and Greg met Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie, and Mattchin has discovered the next England bowler set to grab the headlines.
Years ago, I was flipping through TV channels and came across Hugh Laurie, of Dr. House fame, decked out in 19th-century English gentleman garb. Because I was a House fan, I was curious about what Hugh Laurie sounded like with his native British accent, so I paused my channel surfing to find out.Then I brought up the title and saw that I was watching Sense and Sensibility. "Ugh. Jane Austen. No way I would enjoy that," I thought. I associated Jane Austen with foo-fooey lady stuff. So my plan was to flip the channel as soon as I heard Dr. House talk British.Two hours later, the end credits for Sense and Sensibility scrolled down the screen. I had watched the entire thing. Didn't even get up to go the bathroom.Not only did I watch the whole movie, I remember thinking, "Man, that was really good."Thanks to Dr. House, my resistance to Austen was broken, and I found myself genuinely curious about her books. So I got the free version of her collected works and slowly started working my way through what are arguably her three best: Sense and Sensibility, Pride and Prejudice, and Emma. And I'll be darned if I didn't truly enjoy them all.If you're a dude who's written off Jane Austen's work as I once did, perhaps today's podcast will convince you that there's something in it for women and men alike and encourage you to give her novels a try. My guest is John Mullan, a professor of English and the author of What Matters in Jane Austen? John and I discuss the literary innovation Austen pioneered that influenced the likes of Larry McMurtry's Lonesome Dove and will give your social agility a healthy workout. John then explains why soldiers and Winston Churchill turned to Austen during the world wars. We also discuss the philosopher Alasdair MacIntyre's argument that Austen's work was "the last great representative of the classical tradition of virtues," Austen's idea of manliness, and how a man's choice of a wife will shape his character. And John shares his recommendation for which Austen novel men should read first.Resources Related to the EpisodeAoM Article: Why Every Man Should Read Jane AustenEditions of Jane Austen's works available in the public domainEditions of Sense and Sensibility and Emmawith introductions by JohnAoM Podcast #824: Lonesome Dove and Life's Journey Through UncertaintyRudyard Kipling's short story "The Janeites"After Virtue by Alasdair MacIntyreConnect With John MullanJohn's Faculty PageListen to the Podcast!
