Chapter 2: What does Tim Key think about January blues?
And I think we've both seen it. And I thought it was very special, very heartfelt, very honest, really funny. And subversive and weird. And I really, really cried my eyes out to it as well.
I know, it was emotional.
It was fantastic. Loved it. Yeah, so we're going to talk about that film, which was one of the best of last year. He released a book, poetry as well, called L.A. Baby. He's going to be on tour in February, doing this tour called Loganberry as well. And we actually, I had not seen this picture for 16 years. Oh, wow. But Tim Key joined me on the radio in February 2010. Wow.
So 16 years ago, we did the radio together. I have a horrendous cold sore in this image.
You do?
Really bad. This was my nighttime Radio 1 show since 10 till midnight. Oh, right. And people used to come and join us after gigs.
Love that.
Very of its time. So I'm very excited to see Tim. I'm very excited to have a cold sore.
Yeah, looking good.

Chapter 3: How does Tim Key describe his latest film, The Ballad of Wallis Island?
People love Seville.
It's a beautiful city. It is beautiful. We should go one time. We should. We love Seville, Matt. Maybe that should be our ambition. Actually do some of the shit we talk about.
Do something we talk about, yeah. All the crap we're on about. So you don't have to go to Seville to get these. You can get these in Waitrose.
Get these in Waitrose this time of the year.
Okay. Well, should we welcome our guest, Tim Key? Can't wait. Let's kick off Dish for 2026. Right, shall we do the intro for Tim? Shall we? Yes, let's do it. How far into the show does the intro come? Quite a while into it, actually. Unbelievably, greatly, yes. Okay, time to welcome our first ever poet to this. Oh, I know.
Yes, a comedian, an actor, a screenwriter, and a man who also came, and I love this, second place in a fancy dress contest dressed as a potato. Is it, of course, is the wonderful Tim Key, everybody! Woo! Thank you. I'm good. Thanks for having me.
Oh my God, thank you for coming. It was a very sad day.
The second place potato.
Where were you? What was happening? I think my dad, no offense to him, but I think he'd spent too much time on my brother's costume.

Chapter 4: What are Tim Key's thoughts on cooking and food preferences?
Well, I don't think I demanded a beer. No. I think there was like, you know, there was a conversation. Yes, of course. I'm very happy to have it. Yes. I like going to the pub and having a pint of beer. Yeah.
I think we all like that, actually.
Well, there are some people who don't. I've met them. Mm-hmm. Never spoken to them again, mind.
Oh, yeah. The pub is a real fantastic way to spend your weekend. The dream situation in a pub.
I really do like going to the pub. It is a really great place. Yeah. It's like a, you know, it's a spiritual place. Yeah, it is. It's like a fun church. Yeah, a fun church.
You must admit, yeah.
Yeah, same, same. Sort of, yeah.
No, but a great pub is part of the community and that's what I think.
You've got a great pub.

Chapter 5: What is Tim Key's experience with performing live comedy?
Oh, I'll pull a pint down there.
I like that. We went on Monday and had the worst hangover of my entire life. Did you? How long were you in the French house?
To get a hangover, that's a lot of glasses.
We arrived at 2.15. 2.15, quarter past two. And we left about 10. Well, that's 7 hours 45. Yeah, yeah. So, yeah, we felt pretty bad. That's quite a lot of half-pints there. And wines and everything else.
How many half-pints? How regular are the half-pints coming in that?
Well, I couldn't have any. Gluten-free. Gluten, hello. So I thought the most beer-adjacent fun thing to have in December was champagne. That is quite beer-adjacent, isn't it? Don't you think? Oh, God, yes. My friend was like, that's not the next step. I said, I feel like they're friends.
Yeah.
Or beer and champagne. It just felt less alky than getting on the white wine. Were you having bottles of champagne or were you having glasses of champagne? Bottles of champagne.
Yeah.

Chapter 6: How does Tim Key feel about his collaboration with Steve Coogan?
Yes, I know the Coach and Horses. Right, so as you go in on your right, there's a chair which is not quite a sofa, but it's like wider than a chair. Well, I don't know. I sat there once, and it was about 7pm on Valentine's Day. And I'm sitting there, and then a character comes and sits next to me. Oh, okay.
In the small... Well, it would be like you sitting... Because he's a character, he sort of comes with a hat and a cane. Did he try to make conversation?
Well, I mean, I don't... Look, he was horrible to me. No! Not a mean character. We like the nice characters. Oh, no, nice characters are all right. Mean ones, we all hate them. Don't need them. Dottie's my favourite pub character.
Dottie, in the French house.
Yes, Dottie. I said, she must be in her 80s now, and I swear Neil said she's in her 90s. She is in her 90s. And she has a pint of gin and tonic. A pint of gin and tonic.
Yeah.
Every day. Is she a nice character?
She's a lovely character. Dottie's fabulous. Yeah. I've just had too many bad moments with characters. It's the hat. It's the hat. I mean, I know I'm wearing, but they're not wearing this. No, not that. No, theirs are like purple. And it's a cape. I keep forgetting about the cape. Scarf, obviously. Obviously, yeah.
And they're sort of annoyed that everyone else is allowed in Soho, aren't they? Of course they are.

Chapter 7: What is the recipe for sticky sausage & apple braise shared in the episode?
I think it might have been less than one.
Yeah. Oh! Knowing me, that might have been just me joking.
Oh, just joking. I can't remember having a lesson.
You can't tell. Yes. No, you can't, actually. No, you can't tell. Oh, it was my column. Oh, your tone has changed now. I was writing any old thing for that. Oh, yeah. Well, you had to file 700 words every week, and I did that for two years. So at some point, you've got to sort of hit the old lasagna in the bath scenario. It's a classic.
Do you ever eat in the bathroom?
Never. Never? I don't even like... I think I used to think... Yeah, maybe I had like a beer in the bath once or twice. You know, when you're sort of like in your teens. But now I don't really like the idea of like retreating to my bath with a beer now. I like a coffee in the bath. Right. I don't like a bath. Oh, I love a bath. Love a bath. But you like a hug. I like a hug.
You're a complicated fellow.
I really am.
I thought huggers were bathers.

Chapter 8: What are Tim Key's upcoming tour plans and how can fans attend?
Did you? And I think on about day three, we were like... Nah. Yeah. So go on, tell us that.
So I had that, where you arrive and you're like, I felt, like, out of place. And... A moment of feeling like I was in the wrong place in my life, you know. And I was, I mean, I'm really happy I took the job. But that first week, you're like, why am I in this place? And yeah, all that stuff, I find that really hard. No pubs and no walking. They're like two of the things I do, really.
They're my only hobbies. Yeah, they sort of are. And anyway, so I just started, and no friends, obviously. Not obviously.
No, no.
And there was a heat wave as well. So I think you couldn't really go outside. And that's another classic of mine. So anyway, I can't stress enough, that's not what the book is about. But that sort of first week was like, and that usually plunges me into writing. And so not a pub pub, but find a little bar and take my little notepad and order a beer at the bar and then write a couple of poems.
And then that was really, really useful to get me through that first week. there is something about being creative outside of that that's quite good for me to have an outlet to write. And then when it starts coming together, it was just like a really nice thing to have. Just going alongside my job was to, in the evenings, write this, or if I had a day off, go to a cafe and write poems.
So yeah, let's have a little bit of, I like a bit of poetry on this.
Yeah, finally, some bloody poetry.
A bit of torture, yeah, finally. Well, I mean, I guess this is one about food. This is on-set food. Okay. It's called Lunch. There was a decent spread for lunch.
