Taking Hugh for Granted

Join Diggory Waite and Oscar Beardmore-Gray as they watch every single film starring Hugh Grant in an attempt to answer the simple question - are we taking Hugh for granted?

Love Actually - The Christmas Special

I caught Mummy kissing Hughie Grant! Underneath the mistletoe last night! 

To get you through this festive season, we have a very special episode looking back at one of Hugh’s most legendary rom-coms – Love Actually.

For our Christmas episode, we get the thoughts of Beth Amann and Patrick Flynn, who host the What Is Love Actually? podcast – a 12-part pod that is dedicated entirely to dissecting this holiday classic.

We also speak to Christopher Orr, film critic and writer at The Atlantic magazine, who is notorious for writing two extremely negative reviews of Love Actually. Both interviews are great fun, so make sure you don’t miss them.

Finally, we also put the word out to the THFG fans to send in some Christmassy clips of yourselves telling us your favourite parts of Love Actually and what you’d get Hugh Grant for Christmas! We'll be listening to all your submissions right here on the Christmas special.

For those of you that want to head straight to our interview with the folks from the What Is Love Actually? podcast skip to 9:30 and for our chat with Christopher Orr it's 45:40. 

Merry Christmas everyone!  - December 21, 2020

Best of 2020

Oscar and Diggory take you through the usual way an episode of their Hugh Grant podcast would go - from a synopsis of Notting Hill from Synopsis Simon, to a discussion of Hugh's character in the Undoing, his performance in Impromptu and appearance in The Remains of the Day, to finally asking themselves whether Hugh has indeed been taken for granted in Sense and Sensibility.

If you like what you hear, you can go back and listen to every episode featured and many more wherever you're listening to this podcast! 

The episodes featured in order are: The Bengali Night, Notting Hill, The Remains of the Day, The Undoing - “Episode 1,” Impromptu, White Mischief, The Hughnger Games (the Taking Hugh for Granted Q&A), Music and Lyrics, Happy Birthday, Hugh Grant, Love Actually - The Christmas Special, The Lair of the White Worm, and Sense and Sensibility.
