S10 EP18: Jane McDonald (Video Edition)

David Morrissey joins Captain Carr for a hilarious and thought-provoking Life's A Beach flight. David talks about growing up in Liverpool, filming The Walking Dead, joining Sam Mendes' upcoming Beatles films, his friendship with Alan Cumming, and the surprising downside of a luxury trip to the Maldives. They also discuss conspiracy theories, David's work with UNHCR, Refuge and The Felix Project, celebrity encounters with Daniel Craig and Monica Lewinsky, holiday romances, and why he'd rather explore a city than lie on a beach. Plus: Alan reveals his unexpectedly popular feet and accidentally invents a new hospitality concept. ✈️ Subscribe for new episodes every week. 00:00 Intro & David admires Alan's books 02:27 Favourite musicals & seeing Les Mis for the first time 03:33 New Channel 4 thriller Tiptoe 05:01 Russell T Davies, "woke" culture & misinformation 06:51 Conspiracy theories & Buzz Aldrin 08:41 Alan's celebrity feet rating 09:22 Liverpool's hidden gems & the Beatles tourism boom 12:00 Playing Paul McCartney's dad in the Beatles films 13:42 David's first holiday memories in North Wales 14:50 Alan's castle 16:38 Holiday romances 17:45 Celebrity encounters & Peter Fonda 19:38 Daniel Craig, Rachel Weisz & Alan Cumming 20:23 Monica Lewinsky & public scrutiny 22:35 David's most extravagant holiday in the Maldives 24:39 UNHCR, refugee work & global crises 26:52 Stories of hope from David's charity work 28:29 Dream destinations & why David loves cities 29:50 Quick Fire Round 30:16 The Walking Dead & Daddy Issues 31:02 Tipping anxiety and landing the plane #LifesABeach #AlanCarr #DavidMorrissey #TheWalkingDead #TheBeatles #Tiptoe #RussellTDavies #AlanCumming #TravelPodcast #CelebrityInterview #Podcast #Liverpool #UNHCR #DaddyIssues #LifeIsABeachPodcast Learn more about your ad choices.
