Sanjeev Bhaskar on finding his path, the power of luck and why success can't be rushed
Joining us today is a trailblazer whose career has not only redefined British comedy but also bridged cultures and brought untold stories to the forefront of our screens. From groundbreaking sketch shows to acclaimed dramatic roles, he’s carved out a legacy that spans comedy, drama, and beyond—it’s the brilliant Sanjeev Bhaskar!In this episode, Sanjeev takes us through his remarkable journey, naming luck and timing—alongside plenty of hard work—among the biggest catalysts for his success. From growing up above a launderette in Hounslow as the son of Indian immigrants to becoming one of the UK’s most celebrated performers, he reflects on how a flip-of-a-coin decision by BBC executives set his career in motion at a time when he felt like a failure; only to later realise he was simply a “success in waiting.”Beyond comedy, Sanjeev opens up about his transition into dramatic acting, how he landed his career-defining role in Unforgotten, and the personal philosophy that has shaped both his professional and personal life. He also speaks candidly about fatherhood, trusting the process, and why he refuses to map out his future and enjoys embracing uncertainty.The incredible crime drama Unforgotten returns with another brilliant series, starting Sunday 9th February on ITV.For all the latest news, click here to follow us on Instagram!***Please take the time to rate and review us on Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your pods.

From that starting point, we dive into a conversation that’s part career retrospective, part personal playlist—almost like stepping into Jeremy’s Jukebox.Jeremy shares the songs that have shaped him, from childhood memories to pivotal career moments, and opens up about how music has been an all-encompassing source of joy, comfort, and inspiration throughout his life. Along the way, we hear about his early days as a trainee journalist, his time as the BBC’s Africa Correspondent, and the evolution of The Jeremy Vine Show across radio and television.Now embracing an exciting new chapter, Jeremy also talks about his lifelong love of Agatha Christie and how it led him to write his own crime novel, Murder on Line One. He reflects on the challenges of fiction writing, the thrill of creating a whodunnit, and how he fits it all in alongside his packed broadcasting schedule.His debut novel, Murder on Line One—the first in his brand-new crime series—is available now wherever you get your books, and you can catch him every weekday on The Jeremy Vine Show on Channel 5 and BBC Radio 2.For all the latest news, click here to follow us on Instagram!***Please take the time to rate and review us on Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your pods.
