      And listen to the whole interview - just wonderful👏🏻❤️.
      I'm I correct in thinking this is: the first and only (for now - till the next interview will be uploaded) "complete" interview on Mr. Brydon's Spotify Podcast list? 🤔

As soon as John Bishop came on stage there was great applause and for Ian McKellen as well,there was such a warm feeling for both of them. Ian is a National Treasure and I think John is well on his way to becoming one. Love you both.

That came out on the PlayStation. I think you even voiced the majority of the characters voices for Discworld Noir. Didn't you? It does sound like it, every time I play that particular game.
