Joining us today on Walking The Dog is the fabulous actor, comedian and writer Tom Rosenthal.
Tom shot to fame for playing Johnny Goodman in Friday Night Dinner and Marcus Gallo in Plebs - and he is also a critically acclaimed stand up comedian!
Tom has a gorgeous Romanian rescue dog called Kiki, who he absolutely adores. She was at home in Bristol with Tom’s girlfriend Gigi and his daughter Simi when we met - but Tom’s affection and connection with her is clear, and we’re already planning a trip to go and see her in person. We met on a blisteringly hot day in June - so we decided to have Raymond sit this one out because his fur and hot weather don’t go well together!
Tom told us all about how Kiki helped him through a very tough time and how she’s opened him up emotionally. We find out what impact having a famous dad had on his childhood - and also the most outrageous prank that he ever played…
