Joe Wilkinson

up, man, will you? But when we saw him kind of, his career take off and he started putting all those bits together, he's really funny.

he's so fast and so brilliant and that's the thing you've got Joe Wilkinson and Asim Chavi and Sushant Clifford it's a really like and then obviously Lenny who I think is I think he's just incredibly talented he's phenomenal he's like he'll go as far as he wants to go in this industry and Yeah, so it was one of those things, and the character, straight off the page, you read it, and you're like, I know this feels like a really fun thing to be a part of, and I hope it goes again.

Because you were saying about being fairly new to the industry, because you had a career before this, and you had jobs before, you're doing what you're doing now, so you were working on a building site, were you a roofer, a scaffolder? Scaffolder.

Didn't

So this week I had the opportunity to chat once again with Dr. Helen Pilcher.

She has a podcast in character, which I've listened to a couple of times.

Who else did we get? Oh, Joe Wilkinson.

Joe Wilkinson plays the train guard, yeah, when they're on the train.

I'd not written that down.

Yeah, you're dead right.

The series stars Lenny Rush, as Valentine, also known as Val, who is the reluctant vampire of the title.

The series also features a host of comedy talents, including Tom Davis, Sean Clifford, Azeem Chowdhury, Joe Wilkinson, Charlie Cooper, Bill Bailey, Ross Noble, I could go on.

A reluctant vampire prince living in a quaint English village makes a startling discovery about his true nature, forcing him to question everything he knows about himself and his supernatural community.

To discuss this episode, I am joined by a very special guest.

the...

Yeah, well, I have got criticisms.

There are not many, and mainly it's because of not enough of, and yeah, one of the main ones is not enough Joe Wilkinson.

Because, yeah, I've seen the man live and he's an absolute joy.

That's a shame.

Up the music, James, until we can hear Joe again.

As

loud as you can handle it.

So just up it slightly in the mix.

Joe's just sorting it out.

I'll be right back.

I'll be right back.

The cast of this is like...

As good as it gets, I think, when it comes to British comedy with Joe Wilkinson, Asim Chowdhury, Sean Gibson, Charlie Cooper.

This kid is just unreal.

I think his ability as a comedy actor to navigate really funny stuff, but with the heart and emotion, he's unreal.

If you did Catsters Countdown and it was a bad record and you went afterwards to...

the Manchester Evening News and said, the thing is we've got to replace Joe Wilkinson.

He's an absolute liability.

No, well, yeah, obviously not Joe.
