Danny Dyer is a national treasure, with his own unique sensibilities as a performer – so it’s no surprise that Ryan Sampson wrote this role, in new comedy show Mr. Bigstuff, just for him. To mark the show’s launch – which is available on Sky Max and streaming service NOW from July 17 – we had the pleasure in sitting down with the duo, who play brothers in this entertaining and thrilling new series.
Sampson talks about setting his comedic tone and on writing the role of his older brother for Dyer, while the actor speaks to the brilliance of the script and how pleased he is when scripts of this nature come his way. We then discuss him leaving Eastenders and how that has opened his career up again – and we can’t help but ask about the challenges in not swearing on the soap-opera.
