Summary

This week's slightly-shorter-than-usual Empire Podcast sees the return of one of our favourite podguests, as Dan Stevens, our once and future spirit animal, pops back in to talk Dickens with Helen O'Hara. Not randomly, you see — he's playing Charles Dickens in The Man Who Invented Christmas. Elsewhere, with Helen swanning around in Malta, it's double trouble in the podbooth as Chris Hewitt and James Dyer talk about great movie scenes set in laundrettes (that doesn't wash with them), review the week's big releases, and unearth the unsettling revelation that James hasn't seen a single episode of one of the greatest sitcoms of all time. This is total BS. Oh, and there's also a detailed breakdown of the new issue of Empire, which we'd all like you to go out and buy. Once you've listened to the podcast, of course.

0:24.5	all the usual news and nonsense on the movie podcast, but thinks it's got the black
0:29.6	lung pop.

0:44.9	for fear of contracting my lurky, I've been deserted by my colleagues of such lethal
0:49.4	cunning this week.
0:50.8	In fact, there's only one of them.
0:54.0	I hesitate to call him a colleague of lethal cunning.
0:57.3	It rhymes with cunning.
0:58.3	This whole break of the face up to sharing my airspace is James Dyer.
1:03.7	How are you?
1:04.7	Hello, I'm a bit disappointed to be honest with you.
1:06.3	Why?
1:07.3	Well, I had Helen banished out of the country, and I've been disturbing poisoning me for
1:10.2	the past three weeks in a bid to kind of subtle coup to take over the podcast, and yet
1:14.2	here you are alive and kicking.
1:16.1	Why only do you just either push me over a window or kill me when I'm on the toilet?
1:20.6	Or, you know, many means of death that have occurred on the hit HBO show Game of Throne
1:26.7	It Is.
