Welcome to the Dear Lovejoy podcast sponsored by Cooker. Spelt quicker, pronounced cooker,

100 degree boiling hot water straight from your kitchen tab. Today is another special.

Woohoo!

That is very quiet.

We've got a bit of sore throat in.

It is actually a really special today. It's a conversation with Andy Nyman and we're just waiting to go and see

him actually at the theatre we've come out onto the road we stood outside embankment station as we speak

is chucking it down with rain umbrellas and tourists everywhere um i'm just chugging on a coffee as we

speak um but yeah exciting we thought what Andy said by the way Andy if you don't know, he's starring in Fiddler on the roof.

He also, he's a writer as well.

He wrote Ghost Stories, The Play and also the film.

And he also wrote all Darren Brown's Magical Theatre.

Darren.

What did I say?

Darren Brown's magical theatre productions.

So he wrote solo those with Darren.

So we'll be speaking to him about that, hopefully, as well.

But I spoke to him and said, well, you do the podcast.

He said, yeah.

And he said, do you fancy coming and doing it at the theatre in my dressing room?

Because he's a busy guy.

He has to do eight shows a week.
