Welcome to my travel podcast, Lights a Beach.

Every week I invite a special guest to take us on a journey together to their favourite holiday destinations and to reveal their top travel tips and tales.

My passenger today is a star of stage and screen who has been entertaining us for ages, whether it spooks, the Hobbit trilogy on the latest Harlan COVID mystery on Netflix.

My guest always shines.

His brand new book, The Cut, is out now

in print and on Audible.

It's a psychological thriller full of intrigue,

mystery, and plot twists galore.

Love it.

Scan your boarding passes, pop your hand luggage in the hold. It's Richard Armitage!

This is the final boarding call for Richard Armitage. This is the final boarding call for Richard Armitage.

Richard Armitage. Good to make the ways of game. Please thank you. Richard Armitage. Richard Armitage, can look to make the ways of the gate. Thank you. Richard Armitage. Richard. Richard. Richard. Richard. Richard. Thank you. Oh, look who we've got on board. It's Richard Armitage. How you doing, Richard? I'm good. Nice to be here. Yeah, now we were talking before the cameras, and I don't want to see you on Dragon's Den, but makeup for dogs. That's good. Lipstick for dogs, little. Well, we don't want to talk about dogs' lipsticks. You know what that is, don't you? What's that? The penis. It's true. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah, don't pop that in your search engine. No. Dogs lipstick.

Yeah. Yeah.

Don't pop that in your research engine.

No.

Dogs lipstick.

Anyway, we're not here to talk about dog makeup.

We're here to talk about you and your fantastic book, but also your holidays.

So tell us your first holiday memory.

My first holiday memory would have been as a little kid.

And I'm writing about it now because I've got a polaroid of me on the beach with my dad and my mom in Anglesey in Wales.

Oh.
