National treasure and proud Bristolian Stephen Merchant struck gold when he collaborated with Ricky Gervais on a little comedy series called The Office in the early 2000s. Buoyed by their TV success, Stephen and Ricky branched out into a brand new medium and became one of the pioneers of podcasting. The Ricky Gervais Show became the most downloaded podcast in the world at the time, securing them a spot in the Guinness Book of World Records.

Stephen has won three BAFTAs, two Golden Globes and a Primetime Emmy for The Office and The US Office. He is here to talk about series three of his excellent BBC and Amazon Prime comedy The Outlaws, which is out now.

Stephen Merchant loves fine-dining and smoked food and so is very keen to sample Angela’s smoked mackerel with spinach baked eggs. The experts at Waitrose pair the meal with a delicious Le Bijou Rosé de Sophie Valrose.

This episode of Dish is one of our funniest yet; Stephen has Nick, Angela and the crew laughing all the way through brunch. Listen out for hilarious anecdotes on family holidays, oysters and why he is overdue an Order of the British Empire.
