You couldn’t get much further apart on the box set scale than Flowers and Game Of Thrones.

What are Zachari Levi and Yvonne Strahovski (the most beautiful TV couple ever) like?

Episode 6 - Lord Richard Attenborough

Fri, 09 Jan 2015 00:00:00 GMT

Lord Richard Attenborough spoke to Hywel and Jamie for what was much longer than the usual 5 minutes of PR time available, as it seems they got on in mind and spirit whilst being a few hundred miles apart. Before Hywel and Jamie worked in proffessional radio they managed, during student radio days, to actually get an interview with the great man, and to start a new year of the Box Set Pod we thought it would be fitting to celebrate the life of the man who we sadly lost last year. This is a pleasure to listen to, we hope you agree.
