  • HERO FIENNES TIFFIN & DONAL FINN • Young Sherlock premiers on Prime from March 4! #661
    Mar 4 2026

    Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!

    This week Pip is joined by the fabulous actors HERO FIENNES TIFFIN & DONAL FINN!


    What with Young Sherlock premiering on Prime TODAY (at time of publishing, that is) - or for those listening later - March 4th, what better pairing than Sherlock Holmes and James Moriarty (and our man Scroobius Pip who also stars in the show!). Guy Ritchie directed it, and it sounded like a very cool and very unique environment to be a part of... We catch Hero and Donal at the very start of the press run, but already they have their off-screen chemistry down to science as they let us all in on the process, which is one that embraces spontaneity while being fully prepared. Along with the blend of loose / tight, we also hear about the musicality of the script which includes meticulous cadence, having room to present ideas and creative input on set, the importance of careful scheduling and also how to portray the Mind Palace. Many have attempted it... What will this iteration look like? Enjoy the episode, and catch the show too of course!

  • LUCY PINDER (Smashing Sundays / Me Myself & Di) • Friday Rewind
    Feb 27 2026

    emocleW, emocleW, emocleW to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!

    This is your bonus FRIDAY REWIND episode! Today, we catch up with Lucy Pinder, originally episode 438 from 2022-02-23.


    Original writeup below:

    A delightful chat bringing in loads of feelgood action, with a dash of triumph over adversity in there for good measure. From her days back in Winchester, we hear about her path to publicity and being involved in the world of early 00's lad culture and glamour modeling from a chance day off at the beach, which led to a huge amount of ups and downs as the path began to stabilise. What this did lead to though is a ton of good things which we hear about, as well as thoughts on pandemic walks and rituals, reclaiming Sundays and releasing podcasts on them, the difference between fun and selfishness these days to back then, rebranding being single and so much more besides. Get involved, you’ll love this one.

  • JOEL FRY • further proof that The Bill & Casualty might be acting university (Stitch Head / Our Flag Means Death / Cruella) #660
    Feb 25 2026

    Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!

    This week Pip is joined by the proper acting talent that is JOEL FRY!


    A delightful chat here with Joel, who we catch mere months into the second child bubble (and is holding up impressively). A quick glimpse at his IMDB will reveal an absolute avalanche of great projects that you're likely to have peeped over the years, though it may even be the case that you're only just discovering him through the latest (at time of publishing) 'Stitch Head' in which he voices 'Creature'. Whatever the case may be, it's a treat to hear the backstage banter about past and present work engagements, including working with Ben Wheatley on 'In The Earth', the move from Devon to Brixton, the science of doing nothing on camera, pandemic hangover life and acting throughout, Yesterday, cinematic universes (whether you believe in them or not!) and so much more of course. Lovely stuff. Get involved.
