Martin Shaw

Like if you're at 18, 19, 20, and you get everything you ever want, then you're probably actually a worse storyteller, artist, et cetera, without having the real sweat equity of going through and disappointment and struggle and being in the underworld, all of that.

you know going coming through the underworld like martin shaw always talks about right you've got if you go through that you actually carry something of value you walk away with a limp and a gift And so people that have a limp from struggle, that's sometimes part of the journey.

But it's also a point of frustration for a lot of people too because they go, all right, two options.

Let's just say, not to be diminishing of Matthew McConaughey's comedy era, but let's say that wasn't the thing he ever really wanted to do.

New York City.

New York City has me and Martin Shaw in agreement for New York City, but they haven't given us a date yet.

I'm really excited for New York City because for me that sort of looks sort of like going home.

So lots coming down the pike.

of amazing that obviously, Paul Kingsnorth, who we've mentioned, has also joined the Eastern Church.

Martin Shaw, it's not something you would necessarily have predicted that people who are essentially wanting to rebel or derogate from the modern orthodoxy, found themselves going full circle back to a church that is literally called the Orthodox Church that was once the church that people felt they had to rebel from.

Proper orthodoxy is deeply unorthodox as we, in a secular way, try to define orthodoxy.

Yeah, it's very, very edgy, if it's authentic.

Um, and I mean, we, we, you know, we had, uh, we were in this beautiful old chapel there at Pusey House and we got to do, uh, we had great talks on the temple, Santa from the Syrian, Christian iconography, like all these wonderful things that are so important to us.

And then also, you know, Martin Shaw was there.

He told, I think probably the best story I've ever heard him tell, honestly.

A lot of people have asked if we're going to put the recordings up, and we will.

Great story, great performances.

I, I don't remember much about that except for Rosa Klebb and Martin Shaw.

Yeah, exactly.

So, um-

So Rosa Klebb being a character and Martin Shaw being an actor.

Yeah.

It's, um-

And Roger and Anne meet a terrible fate, consumed by the rats in their house.

In the episode Buddy Boy, we meet a pre-professional's Martin Shaw, who plays Dave, a nightclub owner, hoping to convert a derelict dolphinarium into a pornographic cinema.

Yes, honestly, that is the plot.

And the episode is very memorable for me, not only as unsettling as were most of them, but the adult nature of the show, including some nudity, was quite a thing for my 10-year-old self to see.

The second adaptation starred David Suchet in Agatha Christie's Poirot and was released in 2010.

Uh, Martin Shaw played Sir Charles Cartwright, Art Malik as Sir Bartholomew Strange, Kimberley Nixon as Egg Lytton Gore, and Tom Wisdom as Oliver Manders.

Ashley Pearce directed.

The adaptation omitted the character of Satterthwaite and changed a number of the details, but was generally faithful to the plot of the novel.

Apart from cutting Mr. Satterthwaite, as we are all idiots, I guess you can all tell I'm a bit sore about that, it was really enjoyable and followed the plot of the book pretty well.

The ending was different to the book we read, which was confusing until we realized about the book having two endings.

I would see that Martin Shaw could have played mad way better than Tony Curtis did, 'cause he played the part so well.

And, uh, that would've been nice to see that ending.

A retrospective.

I've always looked at the evening with Steve Martin and Martin Shaw I don't know I'm not saying we're but like one day we'll do an evening with because we did that we have we are sort of a week behind on getting to you guys but we have loads of great emails so we will start you can of course send your thoughts into hello at popkitchenpodcast.com And you can send in your news, your reviews, your thoughts, your reckonings.

I've done it all backwards.

I interrupted myself and I lost my flow.

Hmm.

Like Martin Shaw was talking here last night about the Book of Job opening up the wonder eye so that you could see the infinite, and I've always been terrified since I was a child of seeing the infinite, you know? Who says it's benign, you know? Who can tell you that the, the deity, if it's a deity, and what you see through this wonder eye, maybe you're not meant to.

I don't know.

But that's the boom for me.
