Summary

We’re back for a new season and are celebrating with two huge stars, who take our Fast Food Quiz VERY seriously. The long wait is over. Dish returns for Season 8 and Nick and Angela welcome two British actors who have conquered Hollywood. Benedict Cumberbatch and Olivia Colman join us to chat about their new film, The Roses (a reimagination of 1989’s War of The Roses) where they play a deeply dysfunctional married couple. We start with gin and tonics and a modified Hugo Spritz for Olivia, before serving a glass of Terre di Vita Organic Zibibbo Sicilia, paired with our main course of roast spatchcock chicken with coriander, red chilli and charred limes. Angela serves the main with french fries and a side of sprouting broccoli, which she sautéed with soy sauce, sesame oil and salt. Olivia and Benedict take their seats for a welcome meal along with a drink... or three. We loved spending time in their company, hearing about how they raise each other’s acting game and Olivia’s on-set superpower! We also get THE most comprehensive list of likes and dislikes from Benedict and find out about his unlikely stint as a sous chef. It’s good to be back.
