Nick and Angela welcome a highly anticipated guest to Dish HQ.

Keeley Hawes was born and raised in Central London. She won a scholarship to the Sylvia Young Theatre School and landed her first big job opposite Richard E. Grant in Dennis Potter’s Karaoke in 1996.

Today, Keeley Hawes is one of British television’s finest actors, with leading roles in the biggest shows of the last decade. Her performances in Line of Duty, Bodyguard and It’s a Sin received critical acclaim and kept audiences on the edge of their seats. In 2024 she starred in the Netflix drama Scoop alongside Gillian Anderson, Billie Piper and Rufus Sewell, and right now you can watch her in the BBC adaptation of Gill Hornby’s bestselling novel Miss Austen on BBC iPlayer.

Keeley’s husband, Matthew Macfadyen, talked about his wife’s favourite homemade sandwich on his episode of Dish in November 2024; curious, Angela makes one to share.

For main, Angela prepares a delicious slow-cooked beef rib ragù with fresh pasta, and the experts at Waitrose pair this with a pazzia primitivo di manduria.

Nick and Angela are honoured to host Keeley Hawes on her first ever podcast! Our trio discuss Keeley’s preference for snacking over cooking, the legacy of Jane Austen and what it’s like to be one of the most recognisable faces in the UK.
