  • Ep 17: Katherine Rose Morley – talking BBC One’s The Syndicate, working with dogs and filming a TV show during the pandemic
    Mar 23 2021

    The QuaranTea Break Podcast is back - the socially distant tea break with some extraordinary people. Host Simon Ward once again chats remotely with some of the biggest names from the world of entertainment to find out how they're coping, what they've been doing and what they've been watching.


    The marvellous Katherine Rose Morley joins Simon this week in this joyful remote conversation. Katherine talks living through lockdown, why she wouldn’t have been the best at home schooling and what it was like filming one of the first TV shows to go into production after restrictions eased last summer, BBC One’s The Syndicate.


    We delve into the show that follows the lives of a group of ordinary people who hit it big with a lottery jackpot in some detail, and it’s a great series from writer Kay Mellor. It starts on BBC One on Tuesday 30 March at 9pm, and available on BBC iPlayer thereafter, and Katherine is wonderful in it.


    The podcast continues to grow and grow, so thank you for you continued support.

  • Ep 16: Mark Watson and Michael Chakraverty – talking meeting virtually in lockdown, modern masculinity and Bake Off and Taskmaster
    Mar 9 2021

    The QuaranTea Break Podcast is back - the socially distant tea break with some extraordinary people. Host Simon Ward once again chats remotely with some of the biggest names from the world of entertainment to find out how they're coping, what they've been doing and what they've been watching.


    Mark Watson and Michael Chakraverty dial in to chat to Simon in this wonderful remote conversation. They chat about the lockdowns and the recently announced roadmap, being on two shows that have kept the nation entertained this past year (Taskmaster and Great British Bake Off) and why they started a podcast without ever meeting IRL first.


    And on the subject of that podcast, Simon finds out all about Menkind, which is their own brilliant podcast that takes a deep dive into modern masculinity. Do check it out. You can listen to it right here.

  • Ep 15: Dev Griffin – talking leaving BBC Radio 1, broadcasting during the pandemic and why he watches TV shows about serial killers
    Feb 23 2021

    The QuaranTea Break Podcast is back - the socially distant tea break with some extraordinary people. Host Simon Ward once again chats remotely with some of the biggest names from the world of entertainment to find out how they're coping, what they've been doing and what they've been watching


    It's the third episode in season 2, and DJ and broadcaster Dev Griffin joins Simon for a remote conversation. He talks about moving from BBC Radio 1 and Radio 1xtra after 18 years to join Heart, and what it has been like broadcasting throughout the entire pandemic.


    Dev is such a warm, funny guy, and he’s so honest about how he’s coped with the past year, particularly about moving jobs during lockdown. I also finally get something off my chest that has been burning inside me for years – yes, for the second episode IN A ROW, I manage to weave Strictly Come Dancing into this podcast.


    If you somehow don’t do so already, you can catch Dev’s weekend radio show on Heart every Saturday and Sunday, 12-4pm. It’s like spending the best afternoon in a pub with a really good friend – two things (pubs and friends!) we all miss right now.
