Dom Joly

This week Paul is joined in the studio by comedian and travel writer Dom Joly for some globe-trotting gastronomy.

In this episode, the Trigger Happy star explains what it’s like to be sworn at by John McEnroe, the dangers of opening a sandwich on a packed train in Morocco during Ramadan and why his Labradors can’t look him in the eye after a disastrous dinner in North Korea.
