Also in this week’s Radio Times Magazine:
- Discussing Apple TV+’s new drama series Slow Horses, Gary Oldman discusses the contrast between Apple’s budget and the BBC’s: “You do feel the scale of the production. You get a real sense of the money. You look around thinking, ‘How much are they spending on this?’ But it wasn’t as if we had someone knocking on the door with veal and a martini. It’s still cold cuts and bacon sandwiches, but they did look after us very well.” And do they pay the actors more? “Put it this way, if I did something for the BBC, they’d still quote my fee from 1995.”
