In this festive episode of Dish, Nick and Angela are joined by the beloved Welsh actor, comedian and broadcaster, Rob Brydon MBE.
Rob’s career began on radio before his BBC Two mockumentary Marion and Geoff put him on the TV map in 2000. Career highlights include his portrayal of Uncle Bryn in Gavin and Stacey, and The Trip with Steve Coogan, a sitcom that has now reached cult status. Rob has presented the BBC’s Would I Lie to You since 2009 and hosts his own podcast, Brydon &, which is now in its seventh series.
Nick mixes a gin & tonic for Rob, while Angela prepares a rib eye steak with tarragon, parsley & garlic butter, potato dauphinoise by Julius Roberts and roasted cabbage with anchoïade by Tara Wigley. The experts at Waitrose pair this with a Terre Da Vino Barolo Riserva DOCG.
Rob Brydon is the epitome of entertainment. Having supplied a very detailed email on his food preferences, Nick and Angela dive into his thoughts on condiments, his passion for kiwis and his problem with mushrooms. Rob talks about the Gavin and Stacey Christmas Special and treats us to a selection of his incredible impressions!
