Today I'm talking to a rather exciting actor who, you might say, first came to people's attention on that series, Misfits with Robert Sheehan on E4, you know, but the superhero stuff.

You also saw him on Secret Diary of a Call Girl. You saw him on Grandma's House with Simon Amstall. And, I mean,

all sorts of different things. I remember with great fondness, vicious, that sitcom with Derek

Jacoby, Francis de Lature, and Ian McKellen. He's most known for the mega, mega, mega, mega hit Game of Thrones, where he plays a character

described by no less than Coleman O'Brien as the best villain or baddie he's ever seen.

He came in to talk specifically about a new thing coming to the States on Peacock and

everywhere else on

Prime Video.

So those about to die, Roland Emreth's new series are on ancient Rome, which I'm told,

and who am I to doubt that it shows you Rome as it's never been seen before?

Particularly excited for me because Anthony Hopkins is in it.

And yes, we do talk about Anthony Hopkins and so many other things.

Please sit back and relax.

It's Brydon and Ewan Rayon.

I... I don't want to show any nationalistic favouritism, but we've had a roll call of great Welsh people on here,

is more current, is more now, is more zeitgeist than all of them put together. And yes, I include you in that, Matthew Reese, because I am sat here with you and Rayhon. Hello. I got that right, didn't I? He nailed it. Not like those American interviews I've seen struggling with it. Oh, you bless him. I got to say I'm really nervous about pronouncing your name. Yeah, what they do is they ask you your name and then you say it and they say, no, it's not. Yeah, it is. Like, no, I was told it's Iwan. Well, I'm telling you, it's everyone, so can you just, yeah, I'm right, me. It's very odd that we've never met. Yeah, it's strange. Because while I think of you as being very young, you're not that young, are you? No, sadly not, no. You look young. Oh, thank you. No, you do, you do. Yeah, yeah, no, I'm pushing on 40 now.

Gee whiz. Yeah, yeah, I'm kind of entering a different stage of my career.

Have you played anybody's dad yet? Yeah. Or you haven't. Yeah, yeah. Remember the feeling when that
