BAFTA winner and Oscar nominee, Dev Patel, is one of Britain\\u2019s finest young actors.

He first graced our screens in the seminal teen drama, Skins, before going on to make his movie debut in Danny Boyle\\u2019s Slumdog Millionaire, which picked up eight Oscars, including Best Picture. 

He\\u2019s gone on to star in many more critically acclaimed films, including The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, and Lion, for which he won a BAFTA, and received Oscar and Golden Globe nominations.

Now, he\\u2019s taken the lead role in Armando Ianucci\\u2019s adaptation of The Personal History of David Copperfield, which is already a critic\\u2019s favourite.

Like in Season One, this episode I\\u2019ve called a "short haul" episode, because I didn\\u2019t have quite as much interview time as I normally do. The way that it tends to work with movie stars is you meet up in a hotel - in this case it was the Soho Hotel in London, which is a real celeb haunt - and you\\u2019re given quite a tight time slot before the next interviewer comes in. If you\\u2019ve seen Notting Hill, it\\u2019s like when Hugh Grant interviews Julia Roberts for Horse & Hound!

Despite literally just getting off a flight from LA, Dev was as warm and down to earth as he seems on screen, and having shot movies and travelled all around the world in some fascinating locations, I really hope you\\u2019ll enjoy hearing his travel diaries.
