Episode notes
Hello, how are you keeping? Before we get started, a HUGE thank you to… you. We’ve just had the biggest week on the podcast for two consecutive weeks, which is incredible news. You’ve gone out there, you’ve told people about us and new listeners have continued to jump on board each and every week. So, THANK YOU!
But you’re here to find out about this week’s guest, and it’s BAFTA-winning actor Jason Watkins (The Lost Honour of Christopher Jefferies, Line of Duty, W1A). Jason was such a lovely guest, and even though we were on video chat, I felt welcomed into his family home for this conversation. We chatted about what he’s been doing during these past few months. Jason talked about how he had to leave filming in South Africa as lockdown started. He spoke about how the incredible W1A lockdown Zoom meeting came about and plans for future ones – and he gave his reaction to the W1A idea to rerun the 2012 Olympics in its entirety was announced by Eurosport just days after they joked about it on the sketch.
A trigger warning: there’s a discussion about grief and bereavement towards the end of this week’s episode (starting from timecode 00:40:48). If that’s something that’s not going to help you at this time, feel free to pause the show and return to it at a later date. If you need to speak to someone (or want to get further advice on how to help someone else going through bereavement), you can contact Child Bereavement UK (https://www.childbereavementuk.org, if you’re in UK you can call 0800 02 888 40) or Cruse Bereavement (https://www.cruse.org.uk, if you’re in the UK you can call 0808 808 1677).
As always, please continue to recommend this podcast to your friends, family or newly formed social bubbles and help spread the word. It helps so, so much. And if you’ve enjoyed the podcast, a star rating and review always makes my day.
