Ian Boldsworth

Three guests in the building! First up was comedian Tom Lucy, who was in the studio ahead of his ‘Needs To Stop Showing Off In Front Of His Friends’ show at the Soho Theatre. Following Tom was actor Tommy Bastow, who not only refused to reveal to Ian the last time he had sex, but also managed to turn the interview onto Ian. Finally, esteemed actor Brian Bovell joined the gang, to talk about his acting career and reaching the Celebrity Masterchef semi-finals. Also, Harriet Thorpe was on the phone once again, as was former intern Truls, who broke the news that he has sold his tuba.

Ian had a very busy show on Monday, with guests Ashley Driver and Olivier Leclair from Chickenshed Theatre in the studio ahead of their production of One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest. Then on the phone was the legendary Chas Hodges from Chas & Dave, who was discussing the duo’s new album and getting into emailing. Finally, actor Calam Lynch was in the studio to discuss his role in ‘Much Ado About Nothing’ at The Rose Theatre in Kingston. Also on the show was Harriet Thorpe (again) and Assistant Producer Toby had his appraisal.

‘Surprise’ guest Harriet Thorpe made it onto the fourth show in a row by once again telling Ian off for not yet going to see her show. Ian was then joined by documentary maker Ben Zand, who joined the show to talk about his new documentary for BBC iPlayer about rapper R Kelly and the allegations against him. Following this, actress and writer Sarah Milton popped by to discuss her show Tumble Tuck, which opens at the King’s Head Theatre later in April.

Once again Harriet Thorpe joined Ian on the phone in her bid to appear on 21 consecutive shows and to get Ian to actually attend her show Ruthless, which is currently on in the West End. Ian then told tales of his first threesome, before Ian Brown, creator of adult animated series The Bruvs joined him in the studio to discuss the series, but also about his time as a writer on 'This Is Your Life'. Following this, Romanian comedian Radu Isac was on the show to talk about his upcoming English Speaking Comedy Borsh, but also to teach Ian how to swear in Romanian, which he did when he called Connor.

Last week actress Harriet Thorpe promised to be on Ian’s show every week until he came and see her new show Ruthless and, sticking to her word, she rang in to ask why he hadn’t been yet. Ian also berated poor Connor Wallace again, even when he rang in to apologise. The first guest in the studio was comedian Jamali Maddix, fresh off a plane from New York, to talk about his new worldwide tour and about Viceland’s Hate Thy Neighbour. He was followed by Miles Chapman and Mark O’Sullivan, writers, creators and stars of Lee and Dean, a brand new comedy coming to Channel 4 on Good Friday.

This week the show kicked off with a tale of Ian in a fight in a pub, and with a complete debacle over who should be on the phone to sing a song. This was interrupted by the arrival of Absolutely Fabulous actress Harriet Thorpe, who vowed to be a part of the next 21 episodes, ahead of her appearance in Ruthless! The Musical. Eventually, a caller named Sam rang up and decided to sing, although that wasn't without its own controversies, before two cast members of Brilliant Jerks, which is happening as part of London's Vault Festival, joined Ian to discuss the play inspired by Uber.

Ian was live and kicked off the show by asking listeners to ring in; Mark did, and have nothing to say but it was agreed upon Nat would be his Best Man at his upcoming wedding, but only on a number of conditions. The first actual guest were filmmakers Scott & Sid, who have spent years making a film about their lives, which is now being released in UK cinemas in March. Barry joined Ian on the phone before having to hang up, and actor Vincent Regan popped in ahead of the release of his new film, Tango One.

This week Ian had a very busy show with three guests! However, before all of that, Connor Wallace hopped on the phone to sing a song for Ian and Nat, which was, as ever, lovely. Then actress Abiola Ogunbiyi joined the gang in the studio, and it turns out as well as acting, she has a real talent for singing/rapping. Abiola currently stars in Jamestown on Sky One. Later, female comedy sketch trio Muriel popped in for a fleeting visit ahead of a run at the Soho Theatre, and lastly US comedian and film star Rob Schneider was on the phone ahead of a UK tour, and spoke about the first time he heard the ‘C-bomb’ on a London bus.

Ian was live and was joined in the studio by two guests! First up was actor Rudi Dharmalingam, with Ian quickly asking for his opinion on the 'battle' between Arctic Monkeys and Kaiser Chiefs, with Ian noting the similarity between the Kaiser's hit 'Ruby', and Rudi's name being Rudi. Second up was model Charli Howard, who was here to talk all about her new book, 'Misfit'!

Joining Ian in the studio this week is Ryan Hand, who is a presenter/comedian/marathon runner/warm-up/and more, and Ian duly tries to find out what he actually wants to be in his life.

And if that isn’t enough Ian has some stern words with Nat over her Google searches and Nat also tells us a story about a Tory MP…

Ian is back! For his first show of 2018 he is joined, as usual, by producer Nat, as well as actor Daniel Ings, star of Lovesick, and Leonie Elliott, who is the latest addition to Call The Midwife.

In the final show before Christmas, Ian attempts to get Christmassy, as Hannah Warman pops into the studio to discuss her new Christmas song 'Merry Christmas (Don’t Be A D)!'. Ian is also joined by actor Pippa Bennett-Warner, and scrutinises her CV. Nat also does a rendition of the Queen’s Christmas Speech.

This week’s show was a very busy one, starting off with the one and only Levi Roots joining Ian in the studio to promote his Christmas track 'Reggae Reggae Christmas', followed by Andrew Polec and Christina Bennington from Bat Out of Hell The Musical on the phone after their recent Evening Standard Award win. Finally, Jennifer Kirby popped in to talk all about Call The Midwife, and her eyes.
