Guys, he does a Woody Allen impression. You should listen to this just for that reason alone. This interview was done just before he won The Rising Star award at the BAFTAs.

And he loved Micheal Fassbender in “Shame” *fangirl noises*. That was a really good film (and Fassbender was very very naked in it).

any right thinking man would have her now 

bestrapped by rules

the whispering, the touching

desire becomes a torment

yet restraint itself is a form of strange delight

so little to say 

our bodies shouting out loud

Words and Music: Memory | BBC Radio 3


‘Memories,’ according to PG Wodehouse ‘are like mulligatawny soup in a cheap restaurant. It is best not to stir them.’

In this memory-themed edition of Words and Music Tom Hiddleston and Eleanor Bron nonetheless poke around with the soup spoon to discover what’s below the surface.

Among the ingredients Wordsworth and Bertie Wooster are in remarkable agreement; Alan Bennett struggles to comes to terms with his mother’s dementia; and Fanny Burney recalls her horrific operation. St Peter and Montaigne have trouble remembering; Ted Hughes remembers all too well his honeymoon with Sylvia Plath; William Blake and Elizabeth Jennings look back on happier days. Somewhere in the middle is a large dollop of Proust.

It’s all to be found floating in the music of Purcell, Conlon Nancarrow, Chabrier, John Adams, Brahms and Bach.
