Welcome to the Dear Lovejoy podcast. It's a special.

Woo!

And very excited because today we spoke to Jason Fleming, who as everybody knows is an actor.

Famously, would you say lock stock and two smoking barrels is possibly the biggest thing he's done?

Yes. I think the answer you're looking for

is yes. That's where we first met him. Why ask me a question if you're going to answer it for me?

Well, it was either that or he did an episode of Lovejoy in 1993. Do you remember him from that?

No. I've got his CV in front of me.

It's absolutely incredible.

As he mentions in the interview, he did eight films in one year.

The guy just doesn't stop working, but he's now turned his hand to directing, so he talks all about that.

He's got a new film out.

It's a vampire film.

I'll let him describe it in the interview.

It's called Eat Locals. And you know what? It's a really

good film. You really liked it, didn't it? I just enjoyed watching. I sat down, put it on, and

lucky enough to see a bit of a preview of it. And I just started watching it and I just thoroughly

enjoyed it. It's just a good British movie. There's so many performances in it. Great cameos. There's a great

cameo from Nick Moran in there and there's some great performances. Some great, McKenzie Crooks in

it and you've sold me. I want to watch it. Dexter Fletcher, Ruth Jones. And it's one of those films

where everyone looks like they're enjoying themselves whilst they're making it. So we talked to him all about that.

We talked to him about various different things.
