Yes, it's not really walking the dog with Emily Dean, it's carrying the dog.

It really is.

Look at that, you spoilt bastard.

He's got such a sweet little face.

This week on Walking the Dog, Ray and I travel to Cheltenham to take a stroll with comedian and writer Dom Jolly and his two beautiful Labrador's Fitzgerald and Truman.

I won't lie.

Dom's first reaction upon seeing Raymond was,

what even is that? How long is he going to be able to walk? A minute?

Actually Dom, it was at least four minutes. I counted. But I knew Raymond would eventually steal his heart.

And in fact, I think it's fair to say, Dom became a little obsessed with Raymond.

And we had the loveliest walk chatting about Dom's really fascinating life and career.

From his childhood growing up in Beirut, where he attended the same school as Osma bin Laden.

I had questions.

His brief career as a diplomat and his decision to pivot into comedy which resulted in him creating and starring in the hugely popular TV show Trigger Happy TV which gifted us the unforgettable

man with the enormous mobile phone. A character who became so iconic people still regularly

shout, hello, I'm on the phone at Dom, 25 years later, even though he never actually said those words.

And by the way, if you were a fan of that show, you'll be thrilled to hear that Dom is currently celebrating the 25th anniversary of Trigger Happy TV with a live tour.

There'll be clips and classic scenes from the show and lots of new material. The tour kicks

off in September and runs through to next year, so do book your tickets now for the Trigger

Happy TV live 25th anniversary tour at Dom jolly.tv. Dom has obviously gone on to enjoy a long

career in TV, fronting numerous shows and comedy projects.

And he's also become a highly respected travel writer and presenter.
