This is a Global Player Original podcast.

Welcome. Now this is the Friday bonus ball. This week plucked from the greying beard of Scottish acting royalty, Mr James Cosmo.

Thank you all this week, by the way, for all your lovely messages about James, who we have now appointed our spiritual leader on this often rudderless podcasting venture.

We thought you might like an extra helping, so here we go. The one and only James Cosmo in the bonus ball.

Enjoy.
