Summary

Angela’s first serving of aligot goes down very well with Nick and our brilliant guest. Vicky McClure is a BAFTA-winning actor known for her incredible roles in Line of Duty as Kate Fleming and This is England as Lol Jenkins. She joins Nick and Ange to talk about the third series of Trigger Point, the thriller in which Vicky plays Lana, a bomb disposal expert (known as an expo), struggling with trauma and PTSD. You can watch the show from 26 October on ITV and ITVX.  Vicky was born in Nottingham and lives there today with her husband Jonny, who is also an actor and filmmaker. The couple first met over a sausage cob, and it’s one of many areas of food and drink that Vicky feels strongly about, including tea and how to act with it correctly.  We begin the episode with Nick mixing up the first ever bloody Mary on the show ahead of a main course of roast topside of beef with peppercorn gravy & aligot. Aligot, a recipe made of potato and cheese, also makes its Dish debut... but definitely not its last, based on this reaction. It’s paired with a glass of Catena Malbec. Vicky brings pure joy to our table as well as her passion for her hometown and nighttime. We hear about working with Madonna and how she prepares for her demanding roles. And her second career path plan? Well, it’s right up our street.     You can watch full episodes of Dish on YouTube and, new for this season, on Spotify.  All recipes from this podcast can be found at waitrose.com/dishrecipes A transcript for this episode can be found at waitrose.com/dish If you want to get in touch with us about anything at all, contact dish@waitrose.co.uk  Dish from Waitrose is made by Cold Glass Productions Learn more about your ad choices.

Hello, we're innocent. Do you know what's annoying about most drinks? They don't fit in your pocket. They don't fit in a tiny purse. You can't pass into people through small gaps in walls. So, we solved the problem. Introducing our new immunity and gut health shots, a pair of vitamin packed wonders in a conveniently small package. They're also in the Waitrose 5 pound food to go meal deal, which includes a main, side, and drink in selected stores subject to availability. You won't be able to pass the whole meal deal through small gaps in walls. The sandwich won't fit. But we're not in the business of sandwiches. You're on your own with that one. Tired of the same old Sunday roast? Why not shake things up? With some succulently sweet and slightly nutty tender stem broccoli.

Hello, welcome to Dish from Waitrose. I'm Nick Grimshaw. And I'm Angela Hartnett. Hi, Angela Hartner. Hello, Nick Grimshaw. How are you? I'm very well, thanks. Do you know what we've not spoken about? We've not spoken about the live episode of Dish. The live episode, yes. But it was also the opening of your new restaurant as well. Terrible night to open a restaurant and do a live show. But did you enjoy it? I did. That was our biggest live show today. 2,000 plus people. Yeah. Nuts, I know. Really crazy. Yeah, but it was fun. I really enjoyed it. And I thought Jack was brilliant. I loved it. No, no, you love the stage.

1:45.5

Yeah.

1:47.2

You basically should be an actor.

1:50.7

I find it quite hard now to eat dinner not on the Royal Opera House stage.

1:53.7

With 2,000 people in front of you. Yeah, no trapdoor.

1:55.0

No trapped door. No lowering down of objects.

1:56.9

I know, we need to.

1:58.0

If we do do it again, we need to use more of the effects, I think. I think definitely. Like coming out of the trap door or hanging from the ceiling, I think that would be the way to do it. I've ever seen when Pink does a show and she gets like flung around a stadium? Yeah, yeah, yeah. That could be you. That could be us, yeah. Could be you with the pot of gravy. Yeah. The live show that we did, you'll actually be able to check out pretty soon. In November, you'll be able to see what happened when me and Ange and Jack Whitehall did dish live at the Ronald Prowse. I know. Amazing. Do you still have that now, just me share it? Nick Grimshaw to the stage. Do you remember that when we were there?

2:34.7

No, it was funny, wasn't it? Oh yeah, so when you've been in the dressing rooms there. Angela Hartnett to the stage. Yeah, they'd be like, and the next call is for Angela Hartnett to the stage. We were like, we don't even know where the stage is. We didn't know where the stage was. Genuinely. Where's the stage?

2:50.8

They don't actually know.

2:52.2

They said it a few times.
