Episode notes

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 is said to have 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 been directed by Stephen Frears (who Hugh knows from A Very English Scandal and Florence Foster Jenkins) is certainly an early Christmas present.
