This week's Dish is packed with laughter as Angela and Nick are joined by a man of many talents. Peter Serafinowicz is an actor, director, comedian and screenwriter who came to Dish armed with one of our longest ever list of food likes and dislikes. Serafinowicz, born in Liverpool, has made a big impression on TV viewers this year with his role as property developer Johannes in Amandaland. He's also the host of the Netflix gameshow Million Dollar Secret, where an undercover millionaire has to hide in plain sight. Peter's substantial acting and TV credits are equal to his food likes list, with roles on both sides of the Atlantic in Parks and Recreation, The Simpsons, Star Wars, The Tick and, most famously, The Peter Serafinowicz Show, packed full of sketch comedy. He's an excellent impressionist and is starting to spend more time live on stage, touring the UK in 2024 with his character Brian Butterfield. As ever, Angela hits the mark, serving Peter BLT pasta. The Waitrose wine experts suggest pairing it with Jip Jip Rocks Shiraz, while in this episode, Peter, Nick and Angela enjoy a glass of Equinox Kombucha. The Dish table is all the richer for Peter's humour, as the trio discuss his desire to be a pasta-shape designer, the fussiness of Come Dine with Me contestants and his love of mashed potato, all topped off with a great impression. Side notes: We are doing a live episode in Sheffield! On Friday 4 July, Dish will be at The Crucible Theatre at Crossed Wires Festival. Nick and Angela will be joined by a special guest for their second ever live show. Tickets are available now at crossedwires.live.

Send your dilemmas to dish@waitrose.co.uk and she'll try to answer them in a future episode. Dish from Waitrose is made by Cold Glass Productions.
Do you love Motherland? Then you're going to love our convo with show writer Helen Serafinowicz! Helen shares what makes her mad, from ghosts to kitchen extensions to the sound of people eating.

Episode Notes We discuss The Timewaster Letters Compendium by Robin Cooper (aka Robert Popper) as read by Robert Popper, Dawn French, Peter Serafinowicz, and Jonathan Keeble. The massive best-selling Timewaster Letters books featured the wonderfully silly letters of Robin Cooper (a.k.a. Friday Night Dinner creator Robert Popper) in which he shared his madcap ideas - and even madcapper inventions - with everyone from the British Halibut Association to the Peanut Council. The resulting replies, as well as Cooper's replies-to-these-replies, had a nation in hysterics. Letter-writing was never the same again.... And now, exactly 15 years, 5 months and 26 days after the first Timewaster Letters book hit our shelves, you can listen to these hilarious letters, as they're brought to life in this Audible exclusive by comedy giants Dawn French, Peter Serafinowicz and Robert Popper. The Timewaster Letters Compendium brings together The Timewaster Letters and Return of the Timewaster Letters along with exclusive audio content. There's a new Introduction by Popper, a chat with Serafinowicz reflecting on the 20 years since Popper sent off his first fateful letter. Plus, a world exclusive - The Cement Murder Mystery, the first thriller story penned by Robin Cooper himself and read by Jonathan Keeble. We don't want to make promises, but it might also be the worst-written story of all time. You'll also get to hear a selection of Popper's world-famous prank phone calls, in which he poses as the hapless and hopeless Robin Cooper. Robert Popper is a writer, producer and performer, best known for creating the Channel 4 smash hit comedy_ Friday Night Dinner_, as well as the award-winning spoof BBC2 science show Look Around You. He has also worked on many of Britain's top comedy shows including Peep Show, The Inbetweeners, The IT Crowd and Stath Lets Flats, as well as writing on South Park.

In this episode Anniki talks to Helen Serafinowicz, the writer of the hit TV series Motherland about all things motherhood and writing related. They touch on tension in motherhood (and how Helen had to wear a neck brace from lack of sleep and Anniki lost two teeth) and on how tough it can be (it's rewarding too of course but they possibly talk less about this). Motherland has a special Christmas episode coming out so watch out – it's SOMETHING to look forward to in these trying times anyway... Edited and Produced by Alex Graham
Jen is back to talk about the shockingly not awful sit-com, Our 30s. We talk about the impressive cast (Rashida Jones, Rachel Blanchard and Peter Serafinowicz, whose name I mispronounce, throughout) and how the show turns sit-com tropes on their heads. We also discuss the show Friends and my love for Jen's husband, Dylan. Contains strong language.

Before we saw Stephen King's IT, we got drunk in the van, and rambled about Defenders, The Tick, and Death Note. We mostly didn't talk bout any of these things, instead we created our own movie about the return of Moses in the 21st Century. Email us at WastingTimePost@Gmail.com
Crooked Table Podcast - The world of film from a fresh angle
In Episode 61 of the Crooked Table Podcast, Robert Yaniz Jr. shares his reaction to the first two episodes of Amazon's new series The Tick, based on the popular comic book. Then he reviews the new Steven Soderbergh heist comedy Logan Lucky, which sees Magic Mike (Channing Tatum) and Kylo Ren (Adam Driver) recruit James Bond (Daniel Craig) to rob a major NASCAR event. Does this stripped-down Ocean's Eleven riff work as a satisfying caper, or does it feel like a road too often traveled? Let's discuss! We're excited to hear your feedback as the Crooked Table Podcast continues to evolve. As usual, the show does feature explicit language and, as such, is best considered NSFW. Thanks for listening!

View the show notes here » Jen and Angela are joined by their good friend Simon Meddings, from their "brother podcast" Waffle On. "Meds", as he's known to his friends, is a horror film aficionado so Jen and Angela allowed him to lead the conversation about this British Rom-Com-Horror film. This is a fun conversation that includes skit at the start of the episode. Simon wrote the skit, Jen mixed it (as well as the rest of the episode) and Jen, Angela and Meds star in it. NOTE: It is not kid friendly. It's a bit too scary for tikes. This episode is labeled explicit for that reason. Consider using headphones for the best experience.
