Alison Oliver on Saltburn success & reuniting with Emerald Fennell for Wuthering Heights | S4 EP24

For our final episode of 2025 we’re joined by Alison Oliver to discuss her career so far including roles in Saltburn, Conversations with Friends, Task, and beyond.

Dave and George explore how she keeps exercise part of her routine on and off set, rarely using her real accent at work and stepping back into the world of Emerald Fennell for the upcoming adaptation of Wuthering Heights.

She also tells us about not being sure if Nicholas Hoult was British or American and making the classic actor mistake of saying she could ride a horse when in fact it miiiight have been a donkey… for 20 minutes… when she was a child.
