Actor Anthony Boyle joined the Graham Norton Radio Show with Waitrose to talk about starring in the new BBC Two drama, Danny Boy, and working on an upcoming Spielberg project.
The feature-length Danny Boy tells the true story of a young man’s journey from war hero to alleged murderer, and his search for truth. The Northern Irish actor, who played Scorpius Malfoy onstage in Harry Potter and The Cursed Child, said, “I play Brian Wood, who was a soldier that served in Iraq, and he was involved in the Battle of Danny Boy. When he came home he was hailed as a war hero, on the front of the papers, people thought he was amazing. Then a human rights lawyer called Phil Shiner began to investigate him and thought there was wrongdoing. He was on trial for ten years, I believe.”

Denise Mina joined the Graham Norton Radio Show with Waitrose to talk about her latest crime thriller, The Less Dead, and about becoming part of Reese Witherspoon’s book club.
The Less Dead follows the story of a GP, Margo Dunlop, who finds herself on the hunt for her mother s murderer. Denise told Graham, “It’s really about historic murders of street sex workers, and Margo doesn’t want to be involved, but she finds out that a man who murdered her mother is now following her, because she looks so much like her.”
She continued, “It’s a chase book, and I hope it’s quite exciting, but it’s really about why we would care about a GP and we wouldn’t really care about a street sex worker, and why those different victims are weighed differently.”
