Show Notes

We continue celebrating 21 years since the brilliant and ground breaking East is East burst into our cinemas. The classic BAFTA Award Winning Brit Flick was an hilarious movie with serious undertones - tackling both racism and domestic violence. Here Chris Bisson who now stars as Jai in Emmerdale, talks about playing Saleem Khan who had one of the funniest storylines and scenes in the film.

Distinct Nostalgia is a big champion of British film and you can hear other interviews on Distinct Nostalgia about Brief Encounter, Brassed Off, My Beautiful Laundrette, Oliver, The History Boys and Maurice. Soon we'll be adding The Crying Game to the list as we speak to creator, writer and director Neil Jordan.

The Distinct Nostalgia theme is composed by Rebecca Applin and Chris Warner. Distinct Nostalgia is an MIM Production in association with Life Rooms and the MerseyCare NHS Foundation Trust.

'Distinct Nostalgia is more than a podcast'  we produce several shows a week covering soaps, film, comedy and all tv. And in all genres - interviews, reunions, drama, comedy - even a regular game show.
