Dearbhla Mescal on finding joy (and being Paul's mum!)
Sunday with Anna CurranAvailable for 27 days
This week Anna is joined by Dearbhla Mescal, mum of Oscar nominated actor Paul, to talk about how her mission to find joy in the everyday became her new book, how she is overcoming a major health setback and parenting her famous children. BBC's "The Traitors" contestant Harriet Tyce had viewers gripped in the recent series of the show. She was the ex barrister who told everyone at the Round Table to banish her when she suspected Rachel was a traitor! She's hoping readers of her new crime novel will be as equally enthralled, but will it have a happier ending than she did on the show? And speaking of shows, the stars of stage and screen will be out in force at the BAFTAs. TV critic Scott Bryan gives Anna his predictions and, in art imitating life, Scott also chats about his cameo in 'How to Get to Heaven from Belfast' and his role as a red carpet interviewer Plus classic tracks from the Sunday Songbook, the perfect soundtrack to your Sunday.
