Hello, are you doing? I'm Craig Parking, so you are listening to the two-shot podcast.

Sit yourself down, pop the kettle on, we're going to have a nice old chat.

Who's in with this week? I'm going to tell you right now.

Hello Thursday, did you hear that beeping? Can you hear this as well?

No, you can't. I'm about to go to the supermarket, but it's not going to stop raining, but

enough of my problems. How's things? Good week. Thanks so much for the lovely feedback

on last week's episode, the listener Q&A. We've only done a couple of those, aren't we?

They're kind of nice. I think they're enjoyable. I don't think we should do a lot, but every

now and again, it's always lovely to connect with you all and answer your questions.

Speaking of questions, I did ask if you would like me to pose a question to this week's guest,

it's John Sim. But you know what time ran away? We just didn't have time to ask him your

question, so I'm sorry for all those people that did sending questions for John. We didn't

get to have time, but forget about that. It doesn't matter because this week's episode

with John Sim is an absolute page. I've known John for many years, and we've worked

together a few times, and it's just great to sit down with him and have a cup of tea is,

I mean, he's known for dramatic roles on Telly and on stage, but if anybody saw him,

which it comes up in the conversation, if anybody saw him at the Bush Theatre in the West

End in Elling, which is a play that is based on the brilliant film, actually. He's hilarious,

and he's hilarious in real life. He's such a good company, and I'm so pleased that he

is in Manchester, and he pressed the doorbell and popped round for a cup of tea and a good

natter, which is what this is. Now, if you support us on Patreon, there is a little video

up there of John and me, and also very soon you will find out who, well, later on today,
