Well, it's pretty remarkable how much the show has given you. Again, like it's sort of this great wish fulfillment. You also met your wife, Georgia, on the show. She actually played your daughter in an episode.

She's an adult character in the show. She's an adult character, yes, exactly. And George's father, your father-in-law, was a different incarnation of Doctor Who.

You've also played a bunch of villains in your career. And one that particularly stays with me is the supervillain Kilgrave from the Marvel TV show Jessica Jones. And Kilgrave basically can have people do whatever he wants. He can just command them. He abuses this ability and Very sadistic ways, taking away consent from women, like telling people, like, if I'm late, carve your face off.

And, you know, this character is charmless and like really repugnant. Can you talk about how you found a way to play him?

In the historical drama A Thousand Blows, Stephen Graham plays a bare-knuckle boxer in Victorian London, prone to rage and more likely to beat you up than have a conversation with you. The show was created by Stephen Knight, who also created Peaky Blinders, something you may have caught Stephen Graham in in its final season, playing the character of Union Man Hayden Stagg.

The other show that Stephen Graham is in is Adolescence, one he co-created. It's a four-part miniseries following what happens to a family when their 13-year-old son is arrested for murdering a girl from his school. It's a devastating show, very difficult to watch, and very difficult to stop watching. Graham plays the father, Eddie, trying his best to be a good parent, but maybe not doing enough.
