British actor Kevin McNally is known worldwide as the endlessly watchable Mr. Gibbs in Disney’s Pirates of the Caribbean franchise, but his career stretches far beyond the high seas. With standout roles in Downton Abbey, The Crown, and most recently Professor Jericho in Doctor Who: Flux, Kevin has built a body of work that spans decades, genres, and generations of fans.

Kevin joins me once again to talk about his work over the last few years, what it was like returning to the Doctor Who universe—having first stepped into the TARDIS during Colin Baker’s era—and how it feels to be back on those legendary sets. We also bond over a mutual love of Das Boot and discuss Kevin’s enjoyment of working alongside John Malkovich, offering fascinating insights into collaboration at the highest level of filmmaking.

As ever, Kevin is thoughtful, witty, and wonderfully candid, regaling stories from a career that continues to evolve while remaining deeply rooted in a love for storytelling. Sit back and enjoy this conversation with one of Britain’s most respected and recognisable actors.
