Listening to him on the Giles Brandretj podcast Rosebud - talking about Graham Linehan. Giles commented that he (Richard) has remained supportive of Glinner and Richard talked about Glinner's book where he is not so much transphobic as defending women's rights.

I knew he had to be one of the good ones!! 🥰

Ah Matt smith. Classic, great scripts too.
thanks for the interview!

GingerBeverage · 19/08/2024 10:48

He just seems like a normal person, not political, just quietly normal.

I am not sure DW is a good choice for an actor at the moment, their numbers just seem to get worse and worse.

Agree. He'd have been a good fit maybe a few years ago? But you never know who will work in that part until they get into it. My son is a Whovian fanatic and was disappointed when Matt Smith took over. He had lots of actors in mind himself and was like ' Matt who?' But he fell in love with that Dr! Then he was excited for the first woman Dr. Alas nobody could save those awful storylines....

Happy to hear this. I really like his comedy roles. Happy to hear that he’s seeing the problems here. Tamgent, but I wonder if his Christian beliefs in any way interplay with this thinking or not, I don’t mean in a socially conservative way, just in a fairness to women way.

Another Richard fan here. A lovely, funny and intelligent guy.

He’s fantastic in IT Crowd!
Always thought he has intelligence and integrity 👍

PeriIsKickingMyButt · 19/08/2024 09:20

I love him so much! Unrelated to the OP but has everyone seen this interview?

Unrelated - but his brother in law is Lawrence Fox, blimey

I know; every silver ling has a cloud, it would seem!

SnowflakeSmasher86 · 19/08/2024 00:22

Ah this is great news! And it’s such a relief that people can finally speak out without fearing for their lives and jobs. And when I say people, of course I mean men. As women would probably still take a proverbial kicking if they dared. But the tide is turning.

genandtonic · 18/08/2024 22:55

I’m so pleased! I love him in it crowd, and anything at all. He should be dr who, he’d be great! Much better than the characterless self indulgent nonsense that it’s become.

Yay! He’s lovely!

MagpiePi · 18/08/2024 17:39

I’ve known for a while about him but can’t remember the details of how I know.

It is such a relief to find out sometimes!

Yes, I vaguely remember reading something he wrote on Twitter a year or so ago. But it's really great to read confirmation. THanks for posting @GreenShady

Been kicking around, under the radar 😊

Oh this has made me so happy 😊

Unrelated to this topic but RA spoke quite movingly about his wife too ♥️
I haven't really heard or read many interviews with him so it was really interesting to hear about his childhood. He's a very modest chap.

And he looks great in a corduroy suit!

I love Dean

"Watch out, he's got a stick!"

One of the good ones indeed. And an extremely intelligent one at that.

Bet the Cookd and Bombd twits are having extreme tantrums.

Pleasedtohearit · 18/08/2024 19:54

I’m so pleased to hear this!

Crouton19 · 18/08/2024 19:49

GB interviewed Kathleen Stock a while ago and was clearly fascinated by the subject hence inviting her (but pretended not to know very much about it). It was a nice chat about her childhood and early adulthood. I see he has also interviewed E Izzard, so I've downloaded it.

AnyFucker · 18/08/2024 18:17

Good to hear this. I like him and it is sooo disappointing when someone you like lets themselves down.

Oh my god, @AnyFucker where the hell have you BEEN?

misscockerspaniel · 18/08/2024 19:44

Knock me down with a feather.

ProfessorPeppy · 18/08/2024 18:54

Massive crush on RA here Blush

@AnyFucker I haven't seen you for ages, have you been hiding or am I just being thick?
