The actor talks about breakfast, dinner, dogs and horses, and shares his tips on racing and learning linesUp early? I like to listen to Paddy O’Connell at 9am on Radio 4. It’s a semi-political, opinionated show, with guests talking about the news. It’s amusing, witty and I’ve been a guest, so obviously highly intelligent.What’s next? We’ll take the dog for a walk. She’s called Charlie and she’s a very rare breed – a black poodle-poodle. She does her own stuff, chasing this, chasing that.Breakfast? Maybe a bit of fruit, then I’ll look at the papers. If I’ve got lines to learn, I’ll do that. At 12.30, we walk to the pub for a pint of Butcombe. Then we walk back, have a brunchy lunch, scrambled eggs and toast.Visit to the tip? We might go to the tip, you’re right. It’s fantastic, but they’re quite bossy: don’t park there, reverse here. Sometimes I’m recognised. I’m very chatty at the tip.Afternoon activities? We’ll watch a bit of racing. I don’t gamble unless I actually go to the races...
