Keeley Hawes makes her ICONIC sandwich | Dish Podcast | Waitrose

Nick and Angela welcome the talented Keeley Hawes to Dish HQ for her very first podcast appearance! Known for her standout roles in Line of Duty, Bodyguard, and It’s a Sin, Keeley shares insights into her career, her preference for snacking over cooking, and her latest role in the BBC adaptation of Miss Austen. Watch now on BBC iPlayer.

Angela also tries her hand at making Keeley’s favourite homemade sandwich, as mentioned by her husband Matthew Macfadyen on his Nov 2024 Dish episode. For the main course, Angela prepares a delicious slow-cooked beef rib ragù with fresh pasta, paired with a Pazzia Primitivo di Manduria wine from Waitrose.

Our trio discuss her iconic acting roles, the truth behind The Bodyguard, cooking at home, sweet treats and the legacy of Jane Austen!

I don’t know who half of their guests are but it really doesn’t matter - every single person is a delight to listen to!

[loopinionated]

I love that she's like, meh Jane Austen? Her work, nah not into it...I've heard they've made movies?

When her husband is literally Mr Darcy

[christinaz.]

I've been waiting for this since Matthew described her sandwich. Can't wait to make it myself one day!

[susancoffey]

I'm retired. In fact, I'm teetering on the edge of being 80. I can binge watch all day if I want and it's bliss. I've been doing so since discovering this program last week. It's so brilliant I'm in heaven. Thank you Angela, Nick and wonderful guests. Such fun!

[ShereenaD]

I love that they've started filming Angela in the kitchen! She does a wonderful job describing how she prepares a dish but it's much better being able to see how she does it.

[ivana]

I love her honesty!! The fact she's not a pretend foodie and is not lying about it is amazing. She's like my husband and I'm definitely like her husband 😂

[gracejordan]

I absolutely love it when Dish comes out with another podcast. The speed at which I attack the video link from the shorts that I see is honestly impressive 🤣

[SeeVolmr]

I've watched a dozen of these episodes so far, and I'm in awe that ALL of these British celebrities are so lovely! (I'm American) They're funny and warm and personable. They don't put on airs. Maybe it's Nick & Angela's way of making their guests feel comfortable, and/or maybe celebrities in England are just super nice people!

[taraevans]

I love this. She is the most un-foodie guest they have had, I believe.

[susanlaffan]

Exactly as Matthew described her ! Loved the Durrells so much

[johnconnolly]

She seems so lovely - Totally down to earth. Plus she’s a great actress too.

[MistyDownpour]

Gosh isn't she just as lovely as you hope she would be. Also, my gosh she is really so beautiful, just natural beauty and I so adore her jumper/sweater! Thank you so much, wonderful episode as usual!

[s.o.]

Omg they straight up start with the sandwich, I love it! Beyond my wildest dreams. I thought I was the only one obsessed with Matthew throwing shade at Keeley over this 😂

[hzena-yzky]

Oh wow! I ❤Keeley Hawes. Her acting is absolutely off the charts. Her laughter is so genuine and infectious. She is inspiring, indeed she is.

[annaleedawn]

Who has time to binge you ask? This is my 4th Dish episode today as I live on the couch with my sick 4 year old. So... Thanks for making my day more bareable. You are such enjoyable hosts and Keeley was lovely.

[qwentenbenlen]

The fact she said scotch for fave type of way to eat eggs is just legendary

[MrJack]

This is by far the BEST podcast there is. I simply love it.

[Its_ND]

I'm learning conversational English here apart from having fun. Being an immigrant in the UK and talking about this series with my fellows gives me something to talk about with them. 😂❤

[deepdeep-]

She is HILARIOUS! The chaos to Matthew's more fussy tastes! Plenty of things on this podcast have made me laugh hard but I had to pause when she described her alternative to getting a rice cooker, ahhh tears of laughter were shed 😂❤

[louisecampbell]

Love Keeley Hawes. Fabulous actress. Loved her in everything she's been in, to date. Especially "Line of Duty"❤😊
