Actor Jason Watkins on RADA, relationships and reality TV

Author: Kate Thornton May 9, 2026 Duration: 49:49

Welcome back to White Wine Question Time


Our guest today is the brilliant actor Jason Watkins, and this is a great conversation that starts with his incredible ancestry, and takes in his time studying at RADA, what he's learned about relationships and his reflections on the loss of his daughter to Sepsis. We promised Jason that in the notes for this episode we'd post links to the UK Sepsis Trust and the NHS so please take two minutes to familiarise yourselves with the symptoms - it isn't an exaggeration to say that reading these might help to save a life.


SPOT THE SIGNS OF SEPSIS

NHS ADVICE ON SEPSIS


Thanks to Jason for joining us, I hope you enjoy the chat,

Cheers

There’s a particular kind of conversation that happens after a glass or two of wine, where guards come down and real stories emerge. That’s the atmosphere White Wine Question Time captures so perfectly. Hosted by Kate Thornton, each episode gathers well-known friends for a relaxed yet revealing chat, structured around three thoughtful questions and, of course, a shared bottle. What unfolds is less a formal interview and more a glimpse into the genuine friendships behind the public personas. You’ll hear laughter, unexpected confessions, and perspectives on culture, society, and current events that rarely make the headlines. This podcast thrives in the space between entertainment and intimate disclosure, often veering into comedy as these candid discussions unfold. With a vast back catalogue of over 450 episodes, each one feels like pulling up a chair to a fascinating table. Whether you start with the latest release or browse the extensive archive, you’re guaranteed a listen that’s as engaging and relevant as it is genuinely enjoyable.
