We're so excited for this week's Paddington 2 companion podcast as we got the chance to chat to actor, writer and overall cinema fan Sanjeev Bhaskar. Sanjeev played Dr. Jafri in the film and has a fantastic career across film, television and radio - he broke new ground with his TV shows Goodness Gracious Me and The Kumars at Number 42.
We covered all manner of subjects: immigration and representation, changing the notion of "their stories" to "our stories", his love of films and which ones he showed his son growing up and, of course, some of his best memories from making Paddington 2.
Also on the pod this week is Josh Hallam from Help Refugees, who brought Paddington's themes of integrating immigrants and refugees to life through his real-world examples and experiences working to assist those searching for a better life in a new place.
