Oh, we're having good gig chat here.

We're giving a great chat already.

A friend of the show is now back on the show.

He's always welcome.

It's never a no from us.

Tilly, who am I talking about? Everybody adores our next guest, whether he's playing a vicar in

the countryside, a McMafia criminal, or literally the most evil character who I've ever

seen on the telly. Vicar in the countryside. He's now travelling back to 1066 to play Harold Godwinson in King and Conqueror. So here's an interview you won't want to shorten. It's James Norton. Yeah, man. Hi, James. Thanks, guys. Hello. How are you, mate? I'm very pleased to be back. We've had all the chat, haven't we already? We've done already. We've got GCSC chat,

surfing chat. You've got to go surfing. I go surfing. We've had backpack chat. We have. We've compared rucks, gigs. Yeah, yeah. Like your rucksack, man. Thank you, mate.

yeah you always have a bag and you said you today. Now, that's a funny thing to say outside show business. No, it's a weird thing to say outside show business, but it's a funny thing to say inside show business. Just speak to that, if you don't mind. You get really exposed to me. Well, sometimes people will advise you, revise what you wear because now radio is filmed filmed so there is no more face for radio

radio radio is always online so um but today i put my own clothes on congratulations thank you so much

i'm so proud how well that you james now i'm 40 years old he's 40 years old and he can dress

himself how about that's it for jamesorton, the self-dressing actor.
