It’s the start of a big new year of podcasts from Rosebud, and we’re beginning with a real treat for you – an interview with one of Britain’s most successful actors: Hugh Bonneville.

During his ordinary childhood in a comfortable, middle class home in Blackheath, in which showing off was strongly discouraged, Hugh plundered the family dressing-up box and made his schoolfriends put on plays.

At school he joined the drama club and eventually got a place in the National Youth Theatre.

We find out about how Hugh got into the industry, but also about his parents, his first dog, and his interest in theology.

With huge thanks to Hugh for his time, energy and wonderful stories.
