In this festive episode of Dish, Nick and Angela are joined by the beloved Welsh actor, comedian and broadcaster, Rob Brydon MBE.

Rob’s career began on radio before his BBC Two mockumentary Marion and Geoff put him on the TV map in 2000. Career highlights include his portrayal of Uncle Bryn in Gavin and Stacey, and The Trip with Steve Coogan, a sitcom that has now reached cult status. Rob has presented the BBC’s Would I Lie to You since 2009 and hosts his own podcast, Brydon &, which is now in its seventh series.

Nick mixes a gin & tonic for Rob, while Angela prepares a rib eye steak with tarragon, parsley & garlic butter, potato dauphinoise by Julius Roberts and roasted cabbage with anchoïade by Tara Wigley. The experts at Waitrose pair this with a Terre Da Vino Barolo Riserva DOCG.

Rob Brydon is the epitome of entertainment. Having supplied a very detailed email on his food preferences, Nick and Angela dive into his thoughts on condiments, his passion for kiwis and his problem with mushrooms. Rob talks about the Gavin and Stacey Christmas Special and treats us to a selection of his incredible impressions!

  1. Rob Brydon wants a nicer brand than Waitrose. He needs to start buying his groceries at Fortnum & Maisons….

  2. Delightful! With all the darkness in the world, this podcast is a bright light I look forward to every week. Great hosts, guests and laughter. Well done.

  3. Hi Nick, love your sense of humour. The beard you have reminds me of Ted Bundy, the serial killer. Sorry, but you do 😂

  4. What an absolutely GENTLEMAN my god, this is such a lovely show and amazing to see Nick and Ange in stitches… Brings a big smile to my tired heart today! 😊

  5. With all the respect to previous guests, Rob is the best! I laughed out loud almost through the whole episode! 😂 And I see him for the first time) Dear Nick and Ange (crumbling glasses), you are amazing! ❤

  6. Oh Angela and Nick!!……… just when I think I cannot love your show anymore there’s Rob Brydon playing Rob in the third person!!
    Best one yet….. Keep ‘em coming.
    MerryChristmasHappyAlways 💙💜🎅🎄💃

  7. I absolutely love the Dish podcast, even if I don’t know the guest but this has to be the best ever episode! Rob Brydon is definitely one of your National Treasures! He is hilarious. And him reading the menu in all those voices had me in stitches. The best part? Angela giving him a standing ovation!! I’m with her! A well deserved standing ovation 👏

  8. This has got to be my favourite episode of Dish!! I love Rob Brydon, he is just so funny and those impressions at the end were amazing!! Thank you to Nick and Angela for always making me smile every time I listen to your podcast. ❤

  9. Looks like the gin and tonic kicked in at just the right moments! My favorite podcast with the best guests and always gives me a good laugh! Thank you!

  10. Dish without hearing Angela's hearty laugh won't be a great show. Rob is so funny I'm looking him up. Very entertaining podcast indeed.
