Summary
Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!
This week Pip is joined by the acting treasure who is currently starring in 'Death Of England: Michael' - it's THOMAS COOMBES!
On that subject, you'll hear a lot about Death Of England in this ep as Thomas breaks down the prep and schedule of the whole thing (three individual plays, one of which he is the solo star) which sounds utterly gruelling... Aside from that, the whole project is a magnificent work and for sure deserves viewing and attendance. Otherwise, Thomas goes in on a ton of his other roles, including The Acolyte, Boiling Point and Baby Reindeer, as well as celebrating the goodness of Stephen Grahame when the chance arises. A great chat and definitely something for all, especially those of actorial interest.

| 0:15.6 | socials plenty over the years. I'm a big fan. We talk about a fraction of his work in this chat. There's so many things he's been in that are my |
| 0:25.3 | favorite things, but he's currently in a play just off Tottenham Court Road called |

| 0:48.0 | my dear friend Salma and Jim after the episode went out we had his funeral and not only did a lot of people come up and say that they really loved hearing his stories |
| 1:00.6 | But I heard a whole load of other stories on the day and that's always a beautiful thing. |
| 1:07.0 | For example, it's Salman Jim's fault that every member of the band Head P.E. has a criminal record in Germany. |

| 1:30.2 | Hell of a dude. Anyway, yes, this is a great episode. Tommy made some time for me which is insane at the moment because I said he's doing this this West End play that's a 90 minute thing and it's just him on his own and he's doing that almost every day of the week. So the fact that he made time on a day off to sit down |
| 1:57.0 | and chat to me for an hour is just astounding. So we're going to get into that. Before we we do we are brought to you as ever by |
