Episode 52: Andy Nyman

andynymanWe welcome another ridiculously talented guest this week, in the form of acclaimed screen actor Andy Nyman. The horror aficionado joined us on his only night off from the West End hit Ghost Stories, which he wrote and stars in - though you might also remember his turn as the deliciously aggressive Patrick in Charlie Brooker's zombie satire Dead Set. He's a magician too, and for the past decade has worked closely with Derren Brown.

Elsewhere, snack informant Dave shares some Swiss treats courtesy of listener Phil "Neorf" North, and Leila returns from R3PLAY in Blackpool with tales of a retrogamer paradise.
