Dermot O'Leary sits in, with Paddy Bonner and Jessie Buckley

Dermot O'Leary sits in for Zoe and chats to actress Jessie Buckley about her latest role. Plus retired Irish football goalkeeper Paddy Bonner talks to Dermot about Jack Charlton.

Dermot O'Leary sits in for Zoe and chats to actress Jessie Buckley about her latest role in the National Theatre production of Romeo & Juliet. Directed by Simon Godwin, Romeo & Juliet has been re-conceived for the screen and this new 90-minute version was filmed over three weeks in the NT’s Lyttelton theatre. It was adapted for screen by Emily Burns and Jessie stars as Juliet opposite Josh O'Connor as Romeo. As a teenager, Jessie got her first acting job in the chorus of a production of Carousel in Dublin. When she finished secondary school, in 2007, she took a gap year and, about halfway through, moved to London with the idea of enrolling at drama school.

Paddy Bonner, the retired Irish football goalkeeper, talks to Dermot about the new ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ Two documentary Finding Jack Charlton. It's the compelling, emotional and definitive portrait of a football life like no other. It is the story of an extraordinary man, an English, World Cup-winning legend who became an Irish hero. Pat Bonner spent his entire professional career at Celtic and earned 80 caps playing for the Republic of Ireland. He is well known for saving a penalty against Romania at the World Cup in Italy 2020.

Along with Adam Porter on news, Richie Anderson on travel and Mike Williams on sport, she and the team have the best start to your morning. With celeb guests, headlines, tunes chosen by listeners, and more music that you can shake a glitterball at!

There's also a daily Pause For Thought and listeners on the line, as Dermot entertains the nation with fun for the family!

Pause For Thought

Pause For Thought

If you have a thing about round numbers and anniversaries, then today is going to have you shouting bingo out of the window.

150 years ago today the Royal Albert Hall was opened in London - ten years after the death of Queen Victoria’s husband, Albert, and a visible expression of her grief. It’s a reminder of the fact that grief is a process and not an event.

I’m glad she decided to honour Albert in this way because when I lived in London for eleven years I always went to Jools Holland’s gigs there and they are unforgettable. Just like the said Albert.

But, Victoria’s grief speaks to us today because it recognises that loss has to be marked. This wretched pandemic has cost the lives of nearly 130,000 people - and that represents a lot of hurt and pain and mourning. Our ability to mark this has been limited, of course, because of all the restrictions.

Grief can’t be β€œdefeated” like an enemy. It has to be lived with, gone through and accommodated, knowing that it is an unavoidable consequence of love.

In a beautiful song about this sort of stuff, the Canadian musician Bruce Cockburn wrote: β€œEach one’s loss is everyone’s loss, you see; each one lost is a vital part of you and me.”

This week for Christians is called Holy Week. We follow Jesus and his friends as the tensions grow, the emotions get fired up, and a cross is planted in a rubbish tip called Calvary. You can read it in the gospels. There is no romance or wishful thinking, no bargains with God for an easy life or an exemption from suffering. The utter realism of Jesus - although, to be honest, his friends weren’t quite on the same page - is striking. He grieved his own impending loss and tried to prepare his friends for their own grief and how to navigate it.

And what did he urge them to do? To love one another, to wash the feet of the undeserving, to recognise that we belong together.

At the end of it all is love and mercy. And that is where the healing begins.
