What is the context of this Table Manners 'Second Helpings' Callum Turner episode and why was it revisited?
Hello and welcome to Table Manners Second Helpings 2026 and we're going to start off this series with an episode from February 2020. The turn of the Covid lockdown. Yeah. And it was Callum Turner who came over.
I've got to say something now. Callum, I think I had Covid at the time and I hope you weren't till later. Yeah. Because I was later tested and I had antibodies and And I was quite ill that week, but I was supposed to be a trooper and carried on. And I never in my wildest dreams thought it was COVID.
We were very excited to have Callum over because I'd kind of fallen in love with his character in The Capture. He was playing a character called Sean Emery. And my husband said I hadn't made that much effort since my wedding day.
I know. It was P-D-L. What's that? Pre-Dualipa. Pre-Dualipa.
I think I accidentally said at the end of the episode, thank you, Callum Turner, for coming all over me. What a gorgeous man.
He's a lovely man.
He's also very handsome. But he was coming on to talk about the film adaptation of Jane Austen's Emma, which was directed by Autumn DeWild. I think I watched that during the long lockdown months where we watched telly midday. I made Bella's sherry cod with tomato and butter beans, which was from our cookbook, which I think was about to come out. And we served it with dusty knuckle sourdough. I know. And you did a bread and butter panettone. Because you had leftover Ottolenghi panettone from Christmas. Yeah, delicious. Callum Turner coming up on Second Helpings.
Callum Turner, thanks so much for being here.
It's nice to be here.
Where have you come from?
From home.
Where's home?
I live in Kennington.
Oh, wow!
I know, it's perfect.
Whereabouts? Oh, just down... Just down the road. Yeah, I used to work at the Belgrave when it was a hospital. What's the Belgrave? Opposite the Oval, there's a kind of flats and it was a children's hospital.
Oh, yeah, it's quite a spooky looking building.
Yeah, it was gorgeous. It's flats now. Yeah, I know, it's sad.
Would you call Chelsea South London? You're shaking your head.
I definitely would say more South London than West London. South West. It's South West. It's literally in the middle.
It's not over the river.
But it's on the river.
You wouldn't say you're a North Londoner, though, would you? No. Absolutely not. Not even a West Londoner.
I'd say South West, yeah.
So where do you go to eat after the match? Do you remember the Blue Elephant? No. It was a Thai restaurant. Was it Fulham? Yeah, Fulham, Broadway. On the corner? Yeah, yeah, yeah. And you walked over a bridge and they had water running through.
Next to where the Fulham Broadway is now.
Yeah.
Yeah, I remember that place.
Yeah.
I don't think I ever went in there.
Did you go to football matches?
I got a season ticket, yeah. It's my fourth year.
Fourth year. This is a big contention. You're looking at me because you're a Man United fan. It's fine. I like Frank Lampard.
You do?
I think he's a nice bloke.
That's not what you said before the podcast started.
No, I just don't know how good he is, but he's a nice bloke. He's probably better than me.
No, look, we all love him. Yeah. He's a hero. He's a legend. He's an icon.
I prefer him to John Terry. Anyway, how's things post the capture?
Yeah, things are good, as in my life. We were huge fans.
It was bloody good, apart from I had an issue with the ending.
Go on.
I don't know why you said you'd done it.
Because... I just don't know why you... Do you want me to say yes? Yes, please do. Because the guy, Napier, said that he would alter those images of him with his daughter to make him look like a paedophile.
OK.
And then if those images are out, then that would be it, you know? Like, there's no, you know... There's no coming back from that.
That was so mean. You liked it, yeah? I loved it.
It was great.
Are you going to do another one?
I don't know. I have no idea. Honestly, I have no idea.
Would you like to? I would love to.
I love that character. But where would they take my character?
Because they could recruit you. Because you're so clever.
Yeah, but he's not that clever.
