Siân Brooke on Blue Lights, Her Devastating House Of The Dragon Death Scene & The Dance With Her Grandmother That She’ll Never Forget
Siân Brooke is fresh off the back of BAFTA-winning Blue Lights, and she’s hopping on a video call with Josh for a chat packed with police ride-alongs, full moon theories and one of the most beautiful stories this podcast has ever heard. Siân opens up about the conversations Blue Lights has reopened with her dad, a former police officer who rarely spoke about the job when she was growing up, and how reading the scripts gave her a window into a world she only ever glimpsed as a little girl. She also gets candid about struggling with depression in her early 20s, and the moment she first let her now-husband see her “warts and all.” Josh and Siân also look back on her incredible run with Benedict Cumberbatch, from playing Ophelia in Hamlet just after giving birth to the surprise audition that saw her reunite with Benedict in Sherlock, and she relives filming that devastating, gruesome death scene as Queen Aemma in House of the Dragon. Plus, she talks about her powerful new ITV drama, Mavis Eccleston, based on a true story of assisted dying, the real family she met while preparing to play them, and why starting conversations like these is the part of the job she’s most proud of. Siân also joins the group chat to answer your questions, including her Blue Lights wardrobe wish list for season five and the piece of advice she leans on most. 🎥 Subscribe to the YouTube channel & follow the show on Instagram & TikTok: @joshsmithsgreatchatshow 📩 Business enquiries – carrie@thenextchapterstudios.co.uk ──────────────────────── Josh Smith's Great Chat Show The chats that matter Josh Smith’s Great Chat Show is the podcast that reveals the chats that made our guests who they are today.

James Nelson-Joyce has gone from working part-time jobs in bars and restaurants to BAFTA nominations and now, apparently, 6/1 odds to be the next James Bond. He's sitting down with Josh for a chat packed with Scouse charm and moving stories. James talks to Josh about the iconic moment he met Stephen Graham in Nando’s, and how Stephen has become a "big brother" to him ever since; the classism he faced through his time at drama school as a working-class Scouser; and how season two of The City Is Ours is about to take the drama up a notch. And Josh puts James on the spot, and asks him: are you the new 007? James also joins the group chat to answer your questions, including his most irrational fear (hint: it involves golf umbrellas), and where he'd take you on a big night out in Liverpool.
