Allan Mustafa: At the moment mine is Midnight Diner on Netflix. We spent six weeks last year filming the People Just Do NothingMovie out in Japan and I fell in love with the place. This show gives me nostalgic memories. I love food as well and every episode is about a different dish the chef cooks and the story goes off the back of that. It’s comfo...

AM:I cry pretty easily when it comes to “art”. One that really got me was an amazing show called I Know This Much Is True where Mark Ruffalo plays identical twins. It’s just amazingly written and it’s a dark, sad story. It was really honest, there’s no happy ending there. The Chattin’ Shit podcast with Allan Mustafa and Hugo Chegwin is available no...
