Happy 38th birthday to this tall drink of water. Not only is he exceedingly handsome, he's also stupid talented, kind and funny in the most British way possible, and an all-around decent bloke, which, given *gestures at the world* means a lot these days. Many happy returns to the one & only Tom Mison.

Click over to the podcast here. Tom's bit starts at about 15:42. Word is there may be more of the interview posted, possibly with video, so check back to see if that becomes available!
