  • This week on the pod, Rob welcomes Alex Macqueen - a fellow actor, writer and old friend. The pair dive into The Thick of It and discuss where their paths have crossed on stage and screen, including a very queasy performance Alex had with Rob and Kenneth Branagh. Alex shares what it was like working with the legendary Michael Caine, Dame Judi Dench and Will Ferrell. Rob finds out about a new project Alex is developing with Adeel Akhtar and why he’ll forever be known as Neil’s dad.

    You can tell where Rob is genuine friends with those he interviews as he's respectful to those that he's not so familiar with and then simply flippant and sarcastic with others haha You're only going to be like that when you know someone can take the joke :)

    Alex Macqueen is so charismatic, I've got the proper horn by yur (said in a Welsh actor). That fact that he is entertaining, talented, and sound as a pound is also very enticing. Keep it up Alex (and Rob too🤨).🦋

    As I understand it The Inbetweeners was originally written set in the 1980s (hence the Baggy Trousers pilot) but it would have been too complex/ expensive to do the whole series that way.

    Dear Alex: Have you ever thought of moonlighting as a food reviewer on social media? Seriously every time I see you gobbling up in tv series, I get my mouth watering. FYI, I will list my favorite food scenes below: 1. onion baji (from Thick of it). 2.jam biscuits and tea (from Sally 4ever)!

      @@neilaspin008 you really need to see it in context. I'm not going to do it justice, but here goes.
      Because this is right at the end of the film, there are huge spoilers coming up.
      In the film, he played an MP with counter-terrorism responsibilities. It's a tiny, tiny part in the film. After the main characters blew themselves up, he had to answer questions at a press conference.
      One of the main characters had taken a hostage in a restaurant before blowing himself up. When police stormed the restaurant, the hostage was holding the bomber's phone, so the police thought he was the bomber, and shot him.
      Macqueen's character is asked about police shooting the wrong man and he says "The police shot the right man, but the wrong man exploded."
