17: The Old Oak, with Ken Loach and Paul Laverty

The Old Oak, which is playing in UK cinemas as this podcast is released, is the final collaboration between director Ken Loach and screenwriter Paul Laverty. The pair join regular host Simon Brew for a very special episode of the STUDIOCANAL Presents podcast.

Ken and Paul take us into the making of the film, why those chose to tackle it in the first place, and how they went about putting it together. The far-reaching conversation goes through casting right through to Ken Loach’s last day on set. True story, too: there’s a moment when Ken Loach also teases Simon about his choice of football team.

The Old Oak is out now.
