Walking The Dog with Emily Dean
Description
This week, Emily and Ray are taking a glorious morning stroll on Hampstead Heath with the actor, writer and comedian Tom Basden!
Tom grew up with a succession of Miniature Schnauzers - but he doesn’t currently have a dog… although his children are currently trying to convince him to get a Labrador… could a walk with Raymond be what brings him back to the dog side?
We found out how Tom went from what he describes as a “really normal” childhood to writing and starring in some of the nations favourite TV comedies, including Plebs and Afterlife. We also discuss Tom’s perspective of Tim Key’s ‘great lie’, how he feels about casting himself in shows he has written and his experience of working with Ricky Gervais.
Tom’s new film The Ballad Of Wallis Island follows the story of how old tensions resurface when former bandmates who were former lovers reunite for a private show at the island home of an eccentric millionaire. You can catch it in cinemas the UK from 30th May!
