This week I have the privilege to chat to legendary actor George Costigan – known for his roles in "Rita, Sue and Bob Too", "Bottom", "Line of Duty" and "Happy Valley"; and we hear about his early days in class with Julie Walters and performing in Willy Russell's "Blood Brothers".

George is a wealth of stories and insight - a masterclass talent and such a joy to get to chat to - from Desert Island Discs to Shirley Valentine and a promised movie night of "Tootsie".
